The purpose of this gout research is to examine the safety and effectiveness of different doses of an injectable medication. The medication will be compared to an approved oral medication versus placebo for prevention of acute gout flares. In addition all volunteers will be required to take allopurinol, which will be supplied.
This study involves 9 visits to the test center over 24 weeks.
To qualify for the study you must have a confirmed diagnosis of gout with at least 2 acute attacks in the last 12 months. You will need to consent to a physical exam, EKG, height and weight, blood pressure and pulse, and fasting lab tests. You will need to complete a daily diary during a gout flare.
There is no cost to you and you will be compensated at $40.00 per completed visit. In order to determine if you qualify for this research study, please complete the gout study application form.
Rochester Clinical Research is located at 500 Helendale Road Rochester, NY 14609. GoutPal has no association with this organization, and I provide this information solely to keep you informed of current gout research.

And the all-important uric acid levels?
