10. Electrocardiogram (ECG) must be normal, or if abnormal, considered not clinically significant for participation in this study.

11. Systolic blood pressure ≤ 160 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mm Hg; known hypertensive patients controlled with medications other than thiazide diuretics (blood pressure [BP] reading as above) may be included

Exclusion Criteria

1. Treatment with any ULT other than allopurinol (e.g., probenecid, benzbromarone, febuxostat, or pegloticase) within 30 days of the Screening Visit
