Filter by:The aim of this study is to identify families with hereditary chronic tubulointerstitial renal diseases , characterize the phenotype and screen for mutations in known genesis (UMOD, REN, TCF2, NPHP1). Genome wide analysis will be performed in families without mutations identified.
Medical teaching suggests allopurinol should not be initiated in the setting of an acute attack of gout, as rapid lowering of serum urate may exacerbate the attack. This study tests the hypothesis that there is no difference in patient reported daily pain or flair occurrences with early versus delayed institution of allopurinol during an acute gout attack.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ulodesine and allopurinol combined for 12 weeks are effective in treating gout in patients who are not adequately responding to allopurinol alone.
This is a questionnaire study aimed at learning about physicians' views on the treatment of Gout.
To evaluate safety and efficacy of BCX4208 alone and in combination with allopurinol in subjects with gout.
The purpose of this study is to show that patients with gout suffer from chronic inflammation of their joints, observable by MRI, even in the absence of symptomatic gouty attacks. Secondary end-points of this study will include analyzing the effects of uric acid-lowering therapy (specifically with the FDA approved medication Febuxostat) in a subgroup of patients, checking for the presence of inflammatory markers to see if there is any correlation with the proposed chronic inflammation, and evaluating for other characteristic findings of gout on MRI.
This Phase 2 study will be a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, active-comparator study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tranilast in combination with allopurinol in patients with hyperuricemia and moderate to severe gout.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that canakinumab given upon acute gout flares relieves the signs and symptoms and prevents recurrence of gout flares in patients with frequent flares of gout for whom non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/ or colchicine are contraindicated, not tolerated, or ineffective. The efficacy of canakinumab was compared to the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide. The purpose of the first 12 week extension study was to collect additional safety, tolerability and efficacy data in patients who have completed the core study CACZ885H2357. The purpose of the second one year open-label extension study was to confirm the long-term safety and tolerability of canakinumab in patients who had completed the first extension study.
This is a randomized, double-blind, 3-period 3-treatment crossover followed by a 2-period 2-treatment crossover, phase 2 study in patients with documented hyperuricemia to evaluate the effect of tranilast on allopurinol pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) and to evaluate the effect of allopurinol on tranilast PK and PD as measured by reduction in serum uric acid levels.
The purpose of the 12-week core study was to demonstrate that canakinumab given upon acute gout flares relieves the signs and symptoms and prevents recurrence of gout flares in patients with frequent flares of gout for whom non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/ or colchicine are contraindicated, not tolerated, or ineffective. The efficacy of canakinumab was compared to the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide. The purpose of the first 12-week extension study was to collect additional safety, tolerability and efficacy data in patients who have completed the core study CACZ885H2356. The purpose of the second 48 week open-label extension study was to collect additional long-term safety and tolerability data in patients who have completed the first extension study CACZ885H2356E1.
