SUMMARY

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect on pain of a single, subcutaneous (SC) dose of LEO 158968 in participants with gout flares.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: Male
Minimum Age: 18
Maximum Age: 80
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Signed and dated informed consent has been obtained prior to any protocol-related procedures.

• Participants meeting the American College of Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR) 2015 gout criteria with a score ≥8.

• Presence of a gout flare for no longer than 96 hours prior to the baseline visit.

• In case of naïve or newly diagnosed participants, the presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in synovial fluid will be evaluated and confirmed.

• At least 1 joint affected by acute gout (eg, ankle, foot, knee, toe). Participants may have oligoarticular gout, defined as \>1 and \<5 affected joints. However, participants with polyarticular gout are not eligible. In case the participant has more than one affected joint, the investigator should select the most symptomatic joint (most painful/with more inflammatory signs) for the study assessments (primary endpoint), and it will be identified as the 'index joint'.

• At screening and baseline (Day 1), a participant-reported joint pain at rest of ≥50 mm on a 0-100 mm VAS with pain intensity ≥2 using a 5-point Likert scale and at least 2 of the following criteria in the target joint:

‣ participant-reported flare.

⁃ participant-reported warm joint.

⁃ participant-reported swollen joint.

• Body mass index: ≤40 kg/m², at screening.

• Participants on ULT (xanthine oxidase inhibitors, uricosuric agents) with no changes in therapy for at least 2 weeks before dosing.

• Male participants, if not surgically sterilized, must agree to use adequate contraception and not donate sperm from admission to the clinical research center until all follow-up procedures are complete. Adequate contraception for the male participant (and his female partner, if she is of childbearing potential) is defined as using hormonal contraceptives or an intrauterine device combined with at least 1 of the following forms of contraception: a diaphragm, a cervical cap, or a condom. Total abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, in accordance with the lifestyle of the participant, is also acceptable.

• Participants with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or renal disorder are required to be on a stable dose and schedule, with no changes in therapy for at least 4 weeks before screening and baseline, are expected to remain on a stable regimen during trial participation, and the diseases are biologically and clinically controlled.
