Not getting relief from your gout symptoms? Gout can be a real pain, and flare-ups can have multiple triggers. This debilitating and disfiguring condition may make you hit the brakes on life. It can significantly affect daily activities as you fight to manage symptoms. This is why researchers are hard at work to develop and improve treatment options for gout. 

This research study is looking into a potential new treatment that may help manage gout. Researchers aim to provide less invasive and faster relief to those suffering from gout symptoms. This study could produce a potential therapy option that could lessen gout flares and better manage uric acid.

• Participants may receive a new potential treatment for gout at no cost.
• Participants may experience improvements to their gout symptoms. 
• Participants will be contributing valuable information that may benefit others with gout in the future.
• Participants will be compensated $50-$100 per visit for participating in this study. 
• Participants will be helping to advance gout treatment research.

• If you decide to participate in the study and later feel that you no longer wish to be part of it, you can withdraw at any time.
• Any information that you provide will be kept strictly confidential, except as required by law.
• Qualified health professionals will monitor your health as it relates to the study.

• Men and women aged 18 years old or older who are have been diagnosed with gout
• Must be finding their current gout treatment not effective in managing symptoms (i.e., intolerance).
• Must be willing to discontinue taking oral-urate lowering medications
• Must be able to attend 10-13 study visits at the research site over approximately 3 months

The study team can explain the research study in its entirety but some study details are:

• Taking the study medication as instructed by the study team. This FDA medication used in this study will be given through an injection. This may happen weekly or twice a week. This study presents a quick way to receive the medication which usually takes long hours to do via an infusion.
• The lab and physician visits will be performed at no cost.
• There may be a 30 day follow up treatment after the 3 months study duration.
