Gout & crystal arthritis

Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ABP-671 in healthy participants and patients with hyperuricemia and gout: a proof-of-concept study

Arthritis Res TherPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

ABP-671 had an acceptable safety profile in Chinese healthy participants and patients with hyperuricemia and gout. ABP-671 reduced serum urate levels in a dose-dependent manner.
