Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Pegloticase + MTX
Following the MTX Tolerability Assessment Period (Week -6 until the Week -4 visit, in which participants take oral MTX 15 mg weekly), participants tolerating MTX are randomized to receive blinded oral MTX 15 mg weekly during the Run-in Period (from Week -4 to Day 1). During the Pegloticase + Immunomodulator (IMM) Period, in addition to oral 15 mg MTX, participants receive intravenous (IV) pegloticase 8 mg administered every 2 weeks (Q2W) for a total of 26 infusions from Day 1 through the Week 50 Visit. Per protocol, participants are also required to take folic acid, at least one protocol standard gout flare prophylaxis regimen (i.e. colchicine and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or low-dose prednisone ≤10 mg/day), and a regimen of fexofenadine, acetaminophen, and methylprednisolone for infusion reaction (IR) prophylaxis. |
IV pegloticase 8 mg Q2W
Other Names:
Oral MTX 15 mg weekly
Other Names:
Folic acid 1 mg orally every day beginning at Week -6 until prior to the Week 52 Visit.
Prior to beginning the Pegloticase + IMM Period, participants must have been taking at least 1 protocol-standard gout flare prophylaxis regimen (i.e.
colchicine and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or low-dose prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day) for ≥ 1 week before the first dose of pegloticase and to continue flare prophylaxis per American College of Rheumatology guidelines [Khanna D et al. 2012] for the greater of 1) 6 months, 2) 3 months after achieving target serum urate (sUA < 6 mg/dL) for participants with no tophi detected on physical exam, or 3) 6 months after achieving target serum urate (sUA < 5 mg/dL) for participants with one or more tophi detected on initial physical exam that then resolved.
For IR prophylaxis, fexofenadine (180 mg orally) taken the day before each infusion and on the morning of each infusion.
For IR prophylaxis, acetaminophen (1000 mg orally) taken the morning of each infusion.
For IR prophylaxis, methylprednisolone (125 mg IV) given over an infusion duration between 10 - 30 minutes, immediately prior to each infusion.

Placebo Comparator: Pegloticase + Placebo
Following the MTX Tolerability Assessment Period (Week -6 until the Week -4 visit, in which participants take oral MTX 15 mg weekly), participants tolerating MTX are randomized to receive blinded oral placebo for MTX weekly during the Run-in Period (from Week -4 to Day 1). During the Pegloticase + IMM Period, in addition to oral placebo for MTX, all participants receive IV pegloticase 8 mg administered Q2W for a total of 26 infusions from Day 1 through the Week 50 Visit. Per protocol, participants are also required to take folic acid, at least one protocol standard gout flare prophylaxis regimen (i.e. colchicine and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or low-dose prednisone ≤10 mg/day), and a regimen of fexofenadine, acetaminophen, and methylprednisolone for IR prophylaxis. |

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage of Serum Uric Acid (sUA) Responders (sUA < 6 mg/dL) During Month 6
Time Frame: Month 6 (Weeks 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24)
|
Responders are defined as participants achieving and maintaining sUA < 6 mg/dL for at least 80% of the time during Month 6. Month 6 includes pre- and post-infusion sUA assessments at Weeks 20 and 22, non-infusion sUA at Weeks 21 and 23, pre-infusion sUA at Week 24 and any unscheduled sUA between Week 20 and Week 24.
A participant must have had ≥ 2 sUA observations from different visits in order to be eligible as a responder.
Participants meeting the stopping rule (those with a pre-infusion sUA >6 mg/dL at 2 consecutive scheduled trial visits beginning with the Week 2 Visit stopped pegloticase dosing) were counted as non-responders.

Month 6 (Weeks 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24)

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of ≥ 1 Tophi at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
|
Percentage of participants with complete resolution of ≥ 1 tophi (using digital photography) at Week 52 in participants with tophi at baseline.
Participants with resolution of ≥ 1 tophi at a visit are participants with resolution of ≥ 1 tophi at the visit (i.e. have complete response), and no progressive disease for any other tophi.
|
Baseline, Week 52
|
Mean Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
|
HAQ-DI is a self-report functional status instrument that is filled out by the participant and measures disability over the past week via 20 questions relating to 8 domains of function: dressing, grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and usual activities.
The HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to 3 with higher values indicating higher disability.
A change from baseline value of 0 is imputed at the first post-baseline visit for any participants without post-baseline values.
|
Baseline, Week 52
|
Percentage of sUA (sUA < 6 mg/dL) Responders During Month 12
Time Frame: Month 12 (Weeks 48, 50 and 52)
|
Responders are defined as participants achieving and maintaining sUA <6 mg/dL for at least 80% of the time during Month 12 (Weeks 48, 50 and 52).
Month 12 includes pre- and post-infusion sUA Weeks 48 and 50, pre-infusion sUA at Week 52, and any unscheduled sUA assessments done at unscheduled visits between Week 48 and 52.
A participant must have had ≥ 2 sUA observations from different visits in order to be eligible as a responder.
Participants meeting the stopping rule (those with a pre-infusion sUA >6 mg/dL at 2 consecutive scheduled trial visits beginning with the Week 2 Visit stopped pegloticase dosing) were counted as non-responders.
|
Month 12 (Weeks 48, 50 and 52)
|
Mean Change From Baseline HAQ Pain Score at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
|
The HAQ-Pain score rates the participant's pain over the past week from 0 to 100 with 0 = no pain and 100 = severe pain.
A change from baseline value of 0 is imputed at the first post-baseline visit for any participants without post-baseline values.
|
Baseline, Week 52
|
Mean Change From Baseline in HAQ Health Score at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
|
The HAQ health scale is a self-reported measure of overall health.
Participants are asked to rate how they are doing, considering all the ways arthritis affects them, on a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 represents very well and 100 represents very poor.
A change from baseline value of 0 is imputed at the first post-baseline visit for any participants without post-baseline values.
