- NCT05658575RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tablets to treat sudden gout flare pain

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT07145229RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for acute gout flares
This trial tests a new medication, ABP-745, for people having an acute gout flare. It aims to see if the drug is safe and helps reduce pain and inflammation.
Peoria, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT07834840Enrolling by invitation
Diet education for gout patients on urate-lowering therapy
This trial tests whether extra diet advice helps people with gout who are already taking urate-lowering medicine. It might help them manage their condition better.
Suwon, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07367971RecruitingPhase 1
ABP-671 interaction study for gout patients
This study tests how a new drug, ABP-671, interacts with allopurinol (a common gout medicine) in people with gout. It is looking for participants with normal or moderately reduced kidney function.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT06863701RecruitingPhase 3
Combination therapy for acute gout flare
This trial tests a combination of two medicines, etoricoxib and betamethasone, for quickly treating a painful gout flare. It is for people who have had gout before and whose current attack started within two days.
Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06971146Recruiting
Nurse-led telehealth for gout management
This trial tests whether nurse-led telehealth visits can help people with gout maintain healthy urate levels. If you have gout and are already on medication like allopurinol, this study may offer a convenient way to manage your condition from home.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06694012Recruiting
Ohtori Study Part 2 heart health
This study looks at heart and metabolic health in the general population. It helps researchers understand how to prevent conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Sakai, OsakaAges 20 years+ - NCT07587684RecruitingPhase 1
Testing IN026 for Hard-to-Treat Gout
This study tests a new drug called IN026 for people with refractory gout—gout that doesn't respond well to current treatments and causes severe symptoms. The goal is to see if IN026 can lower uric acid levels and reduce gout attacks.
WuhanAges 18–75 - NCT07535034RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Dotinurad for Gout in People Who Can't Take Other Medications
This trial tests a new drug called dotinurad for gout patients whose standard medications either don't work or cause side effects. Dotinurad works differently by helping your body get rid of uric acid (the substance that causes gout attacks), and the study will see if it safely lowers uric acid levels.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT07490522Recruiting
Remote monitoring for gout in primary care
This study tests whether a smartphone app can help your doctor monitor your gout and adjust your urate-lowering medication. It is a feasibility study, meaning it checks if the approach works well for patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07388498RecruitingPhase 3
Study of pegloticase with methotrexate for uncontrolled gout
This trial tests a new way of giving pegloticase (a drug that breaks down uric acid) by injection under the skin, combined with methotrexate, to see if it works better for people with uncontrolled gout. It might help if you have painful flares that don't go away with usual treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07362355RecruitingPhase 2
New gout pill combined with febuxostat for high uric acid
This trial tests an experimental tablet (SHR4640) added to the standard gout medicine febuxostat (40 mg daily) for people whose uric acid remains too high despite febuxostat alone. The goal is to see if the combination lowers uric acid more effectively and safely.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07343336Recruiting
Study of gout in French Polynesia
This study looks at gout in people of Polynesian ancestry to learn more about its causes and how it affects people. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for this community.
Faa'aAges 18–75 - NCT05927688Recruiting
Using patient reports to adjust treatment for autoimmune diseases
This study looks at whether doctors consider patient “electronic reports” (completed online/phone) when deciding how often to change treatment. It may help improve how well treatment plans match how patients feel over time.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05546593Recruiting
Ultrasound check for joint and tendon problems in gout
This study uses ultrasound to look for hidden changes in joints and tendons in people who have gout. It may help doctors better understand what ultrasound can show in gout, but it doesn’t sound like it’s testing a new medicine.
Boulogne-Billancourt, APHPAges 18 years+ - NCT07280156RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PRX-115 for gout with or without methotrexate
This trial tests a new medicine, PRX-115, given through a vein, to see if it lowers uric acid levels in people with gout who haven't had success with standard treatments. Some participants will also take methotrexate, and the results are compared to a placebo (a dummy infusion).
Glendale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06966635RecruitingPhase 4
Potassium citrate for gout treatment
This study tests whether a potassium citrate tablet can help people with gout lower uric acid and prevent flares. It is for adults on stable gout medication who are not having a current flare.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07089875RecruitingPhase 3
Testing dotinurad vs allopurinol for people with gout
This study compares a new gout medicine called dotinurad to the common medicine allopurinol. It is for people who have had gout for at least a year, have had at least 2 gout attacks in the last year, and are already taking a stable dose of allopurinol but still have high uric acid levels.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT07089888RecruitingPhase 3
Dotinurad vs allopurinol for gout with lumps
This trial is testing a new gout medication, dotinurad, compared to the standard treatment allopurinol for people with tophaceous gout (gout that causes hard lumps). It aims to see if dotinurad is better at reducing uric acid and shrinking those lumps.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06629376RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new gout drug for safety and effect on uric acid
This trial tests an experimental drug, SSS11, to see if it is safe and how it affects uric acid levels in people with gout and high uric acid. You may not take other gout medicines during the study.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT06822933Enrolling by invitation
Remote monitoring study for gout patients
This study tests whether using a smartphone or tablet to monitor your gout from home can help manage the condition. You may qualify if you have had at least one gout flare in the last year and have high uric acid levels.
Oslo, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - NCT06674109RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a diabetes drug for gout prevention

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06622603RecruitingPhase 4
Testing lower doses of febuxostat in well-controlled gout
This trial tests if gradually lowering the dose of the gout medication febuxostat is safe for people whose gout has been well-controlled for at least 5 years. The goal is to see if a lower dose can still keep uric acid levels in a healthy range.
