Gout & crystal arthritis

The COMPARE head-to-head, randomized controlled trial of SEL-212 (pegadricase plus rapamycin-containing nanoparticle, ImmTOR™) versus pegloticase for refractory gout

Rheumatology (Oxford)Published Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

SEL-212 efficacy and tolerability were comparable to pegloticase in refractory gout.
