Brief Summary

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

To clarify the therapeutic effect and safety evaluation of ACTH in refractory gouty arthritis and special population, and to explore its mechanism of action.

Detailed Description

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

When patients with acute gout have multiple comorbidities and complications , traditional treatment methods are often contraindicated . From the current clinical research evidence , we have seen the non-inferior effect of ACTH on glucocorticoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of acute gout , as well as the good safety and extensive anti-inflammatory effect in addition to efficacy . Therefore , we designed this study to update and improve the treatment of acute gout attacks , and to try to clarify the mechanism of action .
