New gout pill aims to stop flare pain in 3 days
NCT ID NCT05658575
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether dapansutrile tablets can reduce joint pain from an acute gout flare better than a placebo. About 300 adults with confirmed gout will take the drug or a dummy pill for 7 days. The main goal is to see if pain drops significantly within 72 hours of the first dose.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- dapansutrile (also called OLT1177) tablets
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new, non-steroid option to quickly ease severe gout flare pain.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid stage trial with only 300 participants. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
