Gout study aims to predict crystal dissolution time
NCT ID NCT06669000
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 250 adults with gout to see how long it takes for urate crystals in the joints to dissolve when uric acid levels are kept below 40 mg/L. Participants will have regular ultrasounds of their feet and knees to track crystal disappearance. The goal is to identify factors that affect dissolution time, which could help personalize gout treatment.
