View clinical trials related to Hyperuricemia.
Filter by:Hyperuricemia is a metabolic alteration defined as the presence of serum urate levels higher than 7 mg/dL. This has proven to be the maximum limit of solubility of urate in serum, any higher concentration leads to precipitation and eventually to the formation of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. The accumulation of said crystals can manifest as gouty arthritis, uric acid nephropathy, urolithiasis or chronic tophaceous gout. A strong relation between hyperuricemia and other chronic degenerative diseases, including diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, obesity and metabolic syndrome, has been consistently proven. Hypouricemic pharmacological agents have shown a decrease in cardiovascular complications and death in patients with gout. A series of studies conducted on individuals with asymptomatic hyperuricemia using musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) have shown the presence of morphostructural changes suggestive of MSU crystal deposits, combined with an elevation in a series of inflammation markers to a degree similar to those found in patients with chronic gout. Even though, there is evidence of morphostructural damage in individuals with asymptomatic hyperuricemia, there are no clinical, laboratorial or imaging parameters that indicate when hypouricemic treatment should be started. This clinical trial is proposed as a proof of concept which is looking to evaluate if treatment with allopurinol induces changes in levels of inflammatory markers in individuals with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and morphostructural changes suggestive of MSU crystal deposits. this proof of concept is not looking to measure the efficiency, effectiveness or security of the treatment. Our Hypothesis is that Individuals with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and morphostructural changes evidenced by MSUS (double contour sing, tophi, aggregates) will show a decent in inflammatory markers and their morphostructural changes will diminish or revert after treatment with allopurinol.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to establish the dose of verinurad combined with allopurinol 300 mg once daily that will elicit the desired response; ie, reduction in urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) at 6 months.
The aim of this 12-week randomized multicenter double-blind parallel group placebo-controlled dose finding study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three different doses of LC350189 in subjects with hyperuricemia and a diagnosis of gout.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, fixed-sequence, 3-period, 2-way drug interaction study designed to assess the PK, PD, safety, and tolerability of LC350189 and colchicine when administered alone and in combination in healthy subjects.
It is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-administration, multiple-dose, dose-escalating, phase Ib/IIa clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of D-0120 in healthy subjects and hyperuricemia patients (gout or asymptomatic) in China.
The aim was to assess the effect of estrogen-progestin therapy (EPT) on serum levels of uric acid (SUA) and its precursors: xanthine (X) and hypoxanthine (HX) and on uric acid (UA) renal excretion in hypertensive postmenopausal women treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or thiazide diuretic (HCTZ).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single ascending doses of ABP-671 administered orally in healthy volunteers.
Adolescents and young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) are disproportionally impacted by hyperuricemia compared to non-diabetic peers and youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In fact, 50% of males with youth-onset T2D have serum uric acid (SUA) greater than 6.8 mg/dl. The investigators also recently demonstrated that higher SUA conferred greater odds of developing hypertension and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in youth with T2D over 7 years follow-up. Elevated SUA is thought to lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and DKD by inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and deleterious effects on nephron mass. While there are studies demonstrating beneficial effects of uric acid (UA) lowering on vascular health in the general population, there are no studies in youth-onset T2D. Youth-onset T2D carries a greater risk of DKD and CVD compared to adult-onset T2D and T1D. Accordingly, a clinical trial evaluating UA lowering therapies is needed in youth-onset T2D. Krystexxa (pegloticase), a uricase, effectively lowers SUA and therefore holds promise as a novel therapy to impede the development of CVD and DKD in youth-onset T2D. This proposal describes a pilot and feasibility trial evaluating the effect of UA lowering by pegloticase on markers of CVD and DKD in ten (n=10) youth aged 18-25 with youth-onset T2D (diagnosed <21 years of age) over 7 days. The overarching hypothesis is that pegloticase improves marker of cardiorenal health by lowering UA.
Aim 1. To determine the effect of Allopurinol treatment on renal function (glomerular filtration rate, GFR) in pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia). Aim 2. Establish whether Allopurinol treatment reduces Nlrp3 inflammasome and renal injury biomarkers.
This is a Phase I, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo controlled, Dose-escalation study to evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of SAP-001 in Gout Patients with Hyperuricemia. The study will be single dose ascending cohorts across three doses with a placebo control arm.
