Systematic review and model-based analysis to identify whether renal safety risks of URAT1 inhibitors are fully determined by uric acid-lowering efficacies

Semin Arthritis RheumPublished Systematic review and model-based analysis of randomised trials

Authors' conclusion

Uric acid-lowering efficacy is not an independent factor for the renal safety risk of different URAT1 inhibitors, and structural differences could be responsible for the difference.

Study context

Population
Patients with hyperuricemia in published RCTs of URAT1 inhibitors
Participants
1,264 / 284 / 421 / 213 / 393

  • SHR4640n = 213
  • Benzbromaronen = 393
Outcome
