NCT ID NCT07708181

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called SSGJ-613, a lab-made antibody, to prevent sudden gout attacks in people who are starting medication to lower uric acid. About 200 adults with frequent gout flares will receive either SSGJ-613 injections or standard colchicine pills for up to 24 weeks. The goal is to see if SSGJ-613 reduces the number of flares better than the current treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an experimental anti-interleukin-1β antibody called SSGJ-613
What this could lead to
If successful, SSGJ-613 could offer a new way to prevent painful gout flares when starting urate-lowering therapy, potentially with fewer doses than daily pills.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 trial with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug's safety and effectiveness are still unproven, and side effects are possible.
