Summary

This early-stage trial tested an experimental drug called HEC93077 in 126 healthy volunteers and people with high uric acid (gout). The goal was to check safety, how the body processes the drug, and the effect of food. Participants took single or multiple doses for up to 14 days. Results will guide future studies on whether this drug can help control gout.
