Dotinurad in gout patients who can’t tolerate XOI or failed uricase treatment
Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Dotinurad in Adult Participants With Gout Who Are Intolerant to Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors or Failed Uricase Treatment
Run by Crystalys Therapeutics · NCT07535034 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether dotinurad can lower uric acid levels in adults with gout who can’t use certain standard medicines or have not benefited from uricase.

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.

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.
