New mRNA shot aims to tame stubborn gout

NCT ID NCT07587684

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new mRNA medicine called IN026 in 16 adults with refractory gout — gout that doesn't get better with standard treatments. The drug is given as an IV infusion and is designed to lower uric acid levels and shrink uric acid crystals (tophi). The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also see if it helps control the disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

IN026 (an mRNA therapy given as an IV infusion)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with hard-to-control gout that doesn't respond to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small Phase 1 trial with only 16 participants, so it's mainly checking safety. It may not lower uric acid effectively or could cause unexpected side effects.
