Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with gout who are intolerant or have failed uricase treatment and have sUA >6.0 and <10.5 mg/dL at screening.

Probably not a fit

Patients without gout or without the specified intolerance/failure history, or those not achieving target uric acid reductions, may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 2 interventional study evaluating dotinurad versus placebo in gout patients who are intolerant or nonresponsive to xanthine oxidase inhibitors or uricase. The study will measure changes in serum uric acid at Week 24 to determine efficacy. Eligible participants are adults 18–75 with stable gout and specific intolerance or failure histories, with defined uric acid ranges at screening. The trial is conducted at multiple specialty sites in the United States with Crystalys Therapeutics as lead sponsor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may see lower uric acid levels and better gout control with dotinurad.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies of dotinurad or similar uric acid–lowering agents have shown promise but this approach remains under investigation.
