11. History of coronary artery disease (angina [stable or unstable], myocardial infarction or any coronary artery surgery). Note myocardial infarction includes history of clinical event or age-indeterminate event on ECG. Subjects with a screening ECG indicating a previous myocardial infarction, as reported by the central ECG reader, are excluded.

15. Subjects taking aspirin regularly as an analgesic and are unable to washout 5x’s the half-life prior to base line are excluded; low dose [=325mg per day] for cardiovascular prophylaxis is permitted during the study.
16. Use of a combination of a diuretic with either an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). Note that subjects taking only a diuretic, or only an ACE/ARB drug, are not excluded. Agents covered by this criteria are listed in (Appendix 6).
17. Use of anticoagulants (warfarin, heparin) or anti-platelet aggregation agents (excluding low-dose aspirin) or a condition associated with decreased haemostasis.
21. Participation in another investigational drug or device study during the 3 months prior to the Baseline/Randomisation Visit, participation in a study of a marketed NSAID or COX-2 inhibitor, given in accordance with the dosage and administration section of the approved product labelling, during the month prior to the Baseline/Randomisation Visit, or will participate simultaneously in another clinical study.
23. Initiation or change of dose of a standard disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) within 12 weeks prior to baseline, e.g., penicillamine, sulfasalazine, oral or intramuscular gold salts, azathioprine, antimalarials and leflunomide (Arava).
24. Use of methotrexate at doses of >20mg/week or initiation or change to the dose of methotrexate within 8 weeks prior to baseline.
25. Use at doses outside those specified in the label of biological anticytokine directed therapeutics (e.g., anti-tumor necrosis factor [TNF]) or given at a dose interval other than the following: at least weekly, every 2 weeks, or every 4 weeks. These agents, at allowed dose intervals, may be used if stable for 6 months prior to baseline.
26. Use of B-cell targeted therapy (e.g., rituximab) if not stable for 6 months prior to Screen or at doses/schedules outside the label. Appropriate monitoring must have been performed.
27. Use of oral corticosteroids at doses greater than the equivalent of 10 mg/day of prednisolone/prednisone (average daily dose for patients on alternating doses) or initiation of treatment within 4 weeks prior to commencing study drug. Corticosteroid doses should remain stable throughout the study.
28. Intra-articular injections within 4 weeks prior to commencing study drug or during the study period (or anti

Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: • To evaluate the clinical efficacy of GW406381versus placebo in the treatment of the signs and symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthirtis.
Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GW406381 administered orally to subjects with Rheumatoid Arthirtis.
• To evaluate the optimal therapeutic dose(s) of GW406381 for further clinical investigations in rheumatoid arthritis.
• To explore the effect of GW406381 versus celecoxib on pain intensity and function in subject with Rheumatoid Arthirtis.
• To evaluate health outcomes data generated from subject completed questionnaires.
