First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study compares two ways of managing gout medications in 310 veterans. One group gets standard care, while the other has regular telehealth check-ins with a pharmacist to adjust uric acid-lowering drugs. The goal is to see if pharmacist support helps more people reach healthy uric acid levels and have fewer gout attacks over two years.

What this could lead to

What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on care delivery, not a new drug. Results may not apply outside the VA system, and individual responses to medication can vary.
