A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Effect of Febuxostat Versus Placebo in Joint Damage in Hyperuricemic Subjects With Early Gout

This purpose of this study is to assess the effect of febuxostat, once daily (QD), on joint damage in patients with elevated serum urate levels and gout.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the body, and is associated with a broad range of comorbidities including heart disease, chronic kidney disease and additional risk factors like obesity and high blood pressure. Hyperuricemia, which is defined as an elevation in serum urate levels, develops into gout when urate crystals form from supersaturated body fluids and settle in joints and other organs. Urate-lowering therapy is used to treat hyperuricemia in patients with gout.

Current treatments focus on initiating urate-lowering therapy in hyperuricemic gout patients who have experienced multiple acute gout flares within the past year. However, joint damage caused by crystal deposition may occur much earlier than previously considered. Monosodium urate crystals have been found present in the joints of people with hyperuricemia who do not have any symptoms. The presence of monosodium urate crystals would indicate that after the crystals form, they stay within the joint if serum urate levels are not reduced. Lowering uric acid levels and maintaining them may reduce acute gout flare episodes and possibly halt or reduce joint damage in patients with gout.

This study will evaluate the effect of febuxostat on joint damage in hyperuricemic patients with early gout. All patients will receive gout flare prophylaxis for the first 6 months of the study. Gout flares may also be treated throughout the study.

A variety of imaging techniques are in use to evaluate gout. Plain radiographs (x-rays), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) will be utilized in this study. The modified Sharp/Van Der Heijde scoring method (named after Drs. Sharp and Van Der Heijde) for assessment of x-rays has been validated in patients with chronic gout and will be used in this study for evaluating erosion and joint space narrowing. Participants are expected to have 15 visits which will include plain radiographic examinations at 5 visits, 3 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examinations and 3 DECT procedures at selected sites.

Primäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Mean Change From Baseline to Month 24 in the Modified Sharp/Van Der Heijde Erosion Score of the Single Affected Joint
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Month 24
The single affected joint was defined as the joint with the history of the first acute gout flare. Radiographs (X-rays) of this single joint in the hands or feet were evaluated using the modified Sharp/van der Heijde method. Each erosion was assessed using a 4-point scale where 0=no erosions (best) to 3=large erosion passing the mid-line (worst). Individual erosion scores were summed to a maximum erosion score of 5 for joints in the hands and 10 for joints in the feet. Higher scores indicated more joint damage. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Mean Change From Baseline to Month 24 in the Modified Sharp/Van Der Heijde Total Scores From Full Hands and Feet Radiographs
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Month 24
Radiographs (X-rays) of 40 joints in the hands and 12 joints in the feet were evaluated using the modified Sharp/van der Heijde method. Each erosion was assessed using a 4-point scale where 0=no erosions (best) to 3=large erosion passing the mid-line (worst) for a total erosion score range of 0 to 320. Joint space narrowing (JSN) was assessed using a 5-point scale where 0=normal (best) to 4=absence of joint space, presumptive evidence of ankyloses, or complete luxation (worst) for a total JSN score range of 0 to 208. The Erosion Score and the JSN Score were combined for a total possible score of 0 to 528. Higher scores indicated more joint damage. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Zeitfenster: Baseline and Month 24
The single affected joint was defined as the joint with the history of the first acute gout flare. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was evaluated using the Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Score (RAMRIS). Bone erosion in the proximal and distal location were each assessed in the affected joint using an 11-point scale where 0=no erosion (best) to 10=91-100% bone eroded (worst) for a bone erosion score range of 0 to 20. Bone marrow edema in the proximal and distal location were each assessed using a 4-point scale where 0=no edema (best) to 3=67-100% edema (worst) for a bone marrow edema (BME) score range of 0 to 6. Synovitis was assessed in the affected joint using a 4-point scale where 0=normal (best) to 3=severe (worst). Higher scores indicated more joint damage. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.
