Tablets to treat sudden gout flare pain
This trial studies dapansutrile tablets (OLT1177) to see how well they work for people in the first 4 days of an acute gout flare. It may help reduce pain and inflammation in the specific joint where your gout is flaring.

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.

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.

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.

What taking part in a gout study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
