First seen Apr 12, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This phase 3 study tested a new drug called epaminurad against the standard gout medication febuxostat in 612 adults with gout. The goal was to see which drug better lowers uric acid levels below 6 mg/dL over time. Participants took either epaminurad or febuxostat, and researchers measured uric acid levels at multiple visits. This is a disease control study, meaning it aims to manage gout rather than cure it.
