Brief Summary

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

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II study assessing the efficacy, safety, and dosing regimen selection of multiple IV infusions of PRX-115 over 24 weeks, with or without MTX, versus the respective placebos in adult patients with gout.

Detailed Description

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

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of PRX-115 (a recombinant pegylated Uricase) in adult patients with gout. Participants will receive PRX-115 by intravenous (IV) infusions according to different treatment schedules, with and without the immunomodulator methotrexate (MTX).
