Pegloticase and Methotrexate Co-administered in Participants With Uncontrolled Gout Who Previously Failed Pegloticase Monotherapy
A Phase 4, Multicenter, Open-label, Efficacy and Safety Trial of Pegloticase and Methotrexate Co-administered in Patients With Uncontrolled Gout Who Have Previously Received Pegloticase Monotherapy But Did Not Maintain a Serum Uric Acid Response
This is a Phase 4, multicenter, open-label trial of pegloticase with methotrexate (MTX) in adult participants with uncontrolled gout who were previously treated with pegloticase without a concomitant immunomodulator and stopped pegloticase due to failure to maintain serum uric acid (sUA) response and/or a clinically mild infusion reaction (IR). Approximately 30 participants will be enrolled. Pegloticase + MTX will be administered for approximately 24 weeks, with an optional extension up to 48 weeks.
The trial design will include 5 distinct components:
- Screening Period, lasting up to 42 days;
- 6-week MTX Tolerability Assessment Period (hereafter referred to as the MTX Run-in Period);
- 24-week Pegloticase + MTX Treatment Period, which will include a Week 24/End of Trial/Early Termination Visit (subjects that end MTX and pegloticase treatment prior to the Week 24 will remain on trial for follow up until the Week 24 visit)
- Optional Pegloticase + MTX Extension Period up to 24 weeks
- 30-Day Post Treatment Follow -up

Detailed Description
All participants who meet eligibility criteria at Screening will begin once-weekly subcutaneous (SC) MTX Run-in period. Participants must be able to tolerate MTX at a minimum dose of 15 mg during the 6-week MTX Run-in Period to be eligible to participate in the Pegloticase + MTX Treatment Period.
All participants who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and complete the MTX Run-in Period will be considered enrolled participants. During the Pegloticase + MTX Treatment Period, pegloticase 8 mg will be administered IV every 2 weeks and MTX SC weekly.
Two sequential cohorts of participants will be enrolled in this trial. Cohort 1 is targeted to enroll 10 participants who previously failed to maintain sUA response with pegloticase monotherapy and stopped pegloticase treatment without a history of pegloticase-related infusion reaction.
If the safety assessment during Cohort 1 indicates that the pegloticase infusions are well tolerated, then the trial can begin enrolling Cohort 2 for 20 participants who failed to maintain sUA response with pegloticase monotherapy with or without a history of pegloticase-related clinically mild IRs.

Mean Change From Baseline in Urate Deposition Volume Measured by Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) to Week 24

Baseline to Week 24
|
Mean Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Weeks 14 and 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 14, Week 24
|
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, usual activities.
For each of the categories, participants reported the amount of difficulty they had in performing 2 or 3 specific subcategory items.
The standard disability score is calculated from the 8 categories by dividing the sum of the individual categories by the number of categories answered, yielding a score from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do), with higher values indicating higher disability.
|
Baseline, Week 14, Week 24
|
Mean Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Pain Score at Weeks 14 and 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 14, Week 24
|
The HAQ pain scale asks participants to record how much pain they have had in the past week on a scale of 0-100 where zero represents no pain and 100 represents severe pain.
|
Baseline, Week 14, Week 24
|
Mean Change From Baseline in HAQ Health Score at Weeks 14 and 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 14, Week 24
|
The HAQ health scale is a measure of overall health.
Participants are asked to rate how well they are doing on a scale of 0 to 100, where zero represents very well and 100 represents very poor health.
