Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare febuxostat, allopurinol and placebo, once daily (QD), in subjects with gout.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A Phase 3 Study comparing 80 mg, 120 mg or 240 mg of febuxostat, allopurinol (300 mg for those with normal renal function and 100 mg for those with impaired renal function) and placebo administered once daily in subjects with gout.

Subjects will receive treatment for 28 weeks.
