A globally distributed multicenter trial, which is double-blind and randomized, plans to recruit 580 participants. The first phase of this trial focuses on assessing the safety and effectiveness of various doses and administration patterns of ABP-671, comparing these to either placebo or allopurinol, which is presently the preferred treatment for gout management in the U.S. The second phase of the experiment will examine selected dosing protocols of ABP-671 from the first part on a different group of patients not previously involved in the initial phase.
Gout represents a commonly encountered form of inflammatory arthritis, triggered by prolonged hyperuricemia—a condition where serum uric acid levels exceed 7 mg/dL.
The impact of gout on individual well-being is significant, elevating risks such as sudden cardiac death. The currently available medications for chronic gout are often inadequate in terms of efficacy and carry substantial risks, including potential for kidney failure, sudden cardiac death, and severe liver toxicity.
