Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
Gout subjects taking a stable dose of at least 300 mg allopurinol daily for at least 12 weeks prior to Day 1 as the sole urate-lowering therapy
You may qualify if:
- Subject is able to understand the study procedures, the risks involved and willing to provide written informed consent before the first study related activity.
- Subject is willing to adhere to the visit/protocol schedules.
- Subject meets the diagnosis of gout as per the American Rheumatism Association Criteria for the Classification of Acute Arthritis of Primary Gout.
- Subject has been taking allopurinol at a dose of at least 300 mg daily for at least 12 weeks prior to Day 1, as the sole uratelowering therapy.
You may not qualify if:
- Subject who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Subject with any other medical or psychological condition, which in the opinion of the Investigator and/or Medical Monitor, might create undue risk to the subject or interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the protocol requirements (including dual energy computed tomography imaging), or to complete the study.
- Subject who has received an investigational therapy or has participated in any clinical trial or research study within 30 days of Day 1.
- Subject who has taken pegloticase (KRYSTEXXA®) or is expected to take pegloticase during the study.

Biospecimen
Whole blood sample may be used for optional genetic testing in subjects who give consent. Serum aliquots will be collected and may be used for the analysis of potential analytes and biomarkers, but may not be used for genetic testing without the subject's written consent.
