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 determine the effect of febuxostat, once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID), on renal function in gout patients with elevated serum urate levels and who have moderate to severe renal impairment.

Detailed Description

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

Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the body, and is associated with a broad range of conditions including heart disease, chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure. Hyperuricemia, which is defined as an elevation in serum urate levels, develops into gout when urate crystals form in the body and settle in joints and other organs.

Approximately 40-60% of patients with hyperuricemia and gout have some degree of renal impairment. Hyperuricemia has long been associated with renal disease, and chronic hyperuricemia as seen in gout can lead to deposition of urate crystals resulting in diminished renal function.

This study will evaluate the effect of febuxostat on the renal function of patients with hyperuricemia and gout and moderate to severe renal impairment.

All participants must have an average sitting blood pressure measurement less than 160 mmHg systolic and less than 95 mmHg diastolic. All participants must meet the American Rheumatism Association (ARA) diagnostic criteria for gout (subjects with tophi were excluded). Participants are expected to return to the site for approximately 10 visits.

Febuxostat 40/80 mg QD

Participants initially received febuxostat 40 mg, capsules, once daily (QD) and one placebo-matching capsule QD and remained on this dose for up to 12 months if their serum urate (sUA) was \<6.0 mg/dL at the Day 14 visit. Participants whose sUA was ≥6.0 mg/dL at the Day 14 visit received febuxostat 80 mg, capsule, QD, and one placebo-matching capsule QD at the Month 1 visit, and for the remainder of the study.
