New gout pill shows promise in large trial
NCT ID NCT06439602
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This Phase 3 study tested AR882, a drug designed to lower uric acid levels in people with gout. Over 800 participants took either a 50 mg or 75 mg dose of AR882 or a placebo daily for 12 months. The main goal was to see if AR882 could bring uric acid below 6 mg/dL at 6 months, which is key to preventing gout flares. The trial is complete, but results are not yet public.
