3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficiency of pegloticase administered with a shorter infusion duration in participants with uncontrolled gout receiving methotrexate.
This trial is to assess efficacy, safety, blood levels and bodily effects of up to 2 dose levels of intravenous (IV) pegloticase (KRYSTEXXA) infusions at every 4 week intervals (Q4 Weeks) for up to 6 months (Day 1 to 24 weeks with an optional 24 - 48 weeks treatment duration) when given in combination with weekly oral doses of methotrexate (MTX). The goal is to identify an appropriate dose to be administered every 4 weeks to be used for future clinical trials for patients with chronic gout that does not adequately respond to conventional therapy.
The study consists of 24-week double-blind trial to evaluate the non-inferiority of the efficacy and safety of pegloticase Q4W with MTX versus pegloticase Q2W with MTX, followed by a 24-week open-label extension of pegloticase Q4W with MTX, in participants with uncontrolled refractory gout. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of pegloticase 16 mg administered Q4W with MTX versus pegloticase 8 mg administered Q2W with MTX, on the response rate during Month 6, as measured by the sustained normalization of sUA to \< 6 mg/dL for at least 80% of the time.
