Tigulixostat Promising for Patients with Gout & Hyperuricemia

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  June 28, 2023

In a dose-finding, clinical trial, Terkeltaub et al. examined the safety and efficacy of tigulixostat, a nonpurine xanthine oxidase inhibitor, for lowering the serum urate levels of patients with gout and hyperuricemia.

Considering Benzbromarone as First-Line Therapy for Gout

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  December 1, 2022

In this comparative effectiveness clinical trial, Yan et al. set out to compare nontitrated, low-dose benzbromarone (not approved in the U.S.), a renal urate transporter 1 inhibitor, with low-dose febuxostat as the first-line therapy in gout patients with renal uric acid underexcretion.

New Study Identifies How Big a Role Diet Plays in Hyperuricemia

Elizabeth Hofheinz, MPH, MEd  |  April 15, 2020

Living like a king has its price. And while kings and queens are primarily something of yesteryear, the vast majority of those living in reasonably wealthy nations can now live like kings. Now, back to that price. Gout, once known as the disease of kings, has been around at least since the time of the…

Key Studies Highlighted: 2 Industry Veterans Discuss Their Favorite Annual Meeting Abstracts

Mike Fillon  |  March 19, 2020

ATLANTA—With more than 3,000 abstracts from 103 countries presented at the 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting in November, it was impossible for attendees to view them all. However, two ACR/ARP veterans—Arthur Kavanaugh, MD, from the University of California, San Diego, and John Cush, MD, from UT Southwestern Medical School, Dallas—chose to tackle the nearly impossible task and…

Contemporary Prevalence of Gout & Hyperuricemia in the U.S.

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  May 31, 2019

Using 2007–2016 data from NHANES, a nationally representative survey of American men and women, Chen-Xu et al. set out to estimate the current prevalence rates and decadal trends of gout and hyperuricemia in the U.S.

Research Is Advancing Our Understanding of Gout & Hyperuricemia

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  March 19, 2019

CHICAGO—The Gout and Hyperuricemia scientific session at the 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting opened with a talk by Tony R. Merriman, PhD, a research professor at the University of Otago, New Zealand. His talk focused on molecular epidemiology, with an emphasis on the interactions between genes and environmental exposures, and their contributions to gout. Dr. Merriman…

New Study Raises Cardiovascular Questions about Febuxostat for Gout

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  April 30, 2018

New research raises questions about the cardiovascular safety of febuxostat for gout patients compared with allopurinol. The study found that although febuxostat was noninferior to allopurinol, febuxostat-treated patients had similar overall rates of major adverse cardiovascular events as allopurinol-treated patients, but had higher rates of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality…

Hyperuricemia Doesn’t Always Indicate Gout in Rheumatic Disease

Veronika Sharp, MD, Alice Chuang, MD, Lily Kao, MD, RMSK, & Midori Jane Nishio, MD, RhMSUS  |  November 9, 2017

A 57-year-old Ghanaian woman was referred to our rheumatology practice with acute, left elbow swelling and pain. The referring oncologist suspected gout, because the patient had hyperuricemia. Six months before, the patient was diagnosed with stage IV human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-associated adult T cell lymphoma (ATLL). Her initial oncologic manifestations included multiple thoracic,…

FDA Approves Lesinurad + Allopurinol

Michele B. Kaufman, PharmD, BCGP  |  September 19, 2017

Duzallo, a combination of lesinurad and allopurinol, was approved by the FDA in August to treat hyperuricemia associated with gout…

Effect of Diet & Sodium Intake on Serum Uric Acid

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  November 29, 2016

Serum uric acid (UA) is an important factor in the causal pathway for gout. It has also been implicated as a potential risk factor and/or mediator of cardiovascular disease outcomes and mortality in a large number of observational studies. Although many of the clinical trials targeting serum UA reduction have focused on pharmacologic interventions, diet…
