PARIS (Reuters) - French biotechnology group NicOx said on Friday it expected to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in mid-2009 for its osteoarthritis treatment naproxcinod.

NicOx added in a statement it had successfully completed the enrollment of 1020 patients in the 302 pivotal phase 3 study for naproxcinod, in-line with projections.

The 302 study is designed to assess the treatment's efficiency for treating osteoarthritis and provide additional blood pressure data, which is a key factor for differentiating naproxcinod from existing anti-inflammatory treatments.

Results from the study are expected in the third quarter of 2008, it said.

The third and final study (303) is a 13-week trial with patients afflicted with osteoarthritis of the hip. Patient enrollment should be completed in the second quarter of 2008 and results are expected by the end of 2008.
