Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05658575RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
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.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
La Mesa, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - 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.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Covina, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - 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.
Covina, CaliforniaAges 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.
Granada Hills, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04875702RecruitingPhase 4
Compare urate targets to reduce gout attacks or symptoms
This study compares two different treatment goals for a blood level called urate in people with gout. The goal is to see which approach lowers gout flares better while helping people feel better.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - 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).

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.

- Are there gout clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting gout studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a gout study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a gout trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
