About this trial

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of dapansutrile (OLT1177®) tablets in subjects with an acute gout flare.

Qualifiers

Male and female subjects age 18 or older

Confirmation of a gout flare in the target joint that began within 96 hours prior to the Screening/Baseline Visit

Provide written informed consent and understand and comply with all trial requirements

Disqualifiers

Presence of any palpable and visible tophi by physical examination

Has ≥ 4 joints with an acute gout flare at Screening/Baseline

Presence of active rheumatoid arthritis or other acute inflammatory arthritis

Evidence/suspicion of infectious/septic arthritis

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Dapansutrile

    Drug

    An initial loading dose of 2000 mg dapansutrile on Day 1 followed by a maintenance regimen of 1000 mg dapansutrile twice daily starting 12 hours later through the second dose on Day 7, inclusive.

  • Placebo Tablet

    Other intervention

    An initial loading dose of matching placebo (to mimic dapansutrile dosing) on Day 1 followed by a maintenance regimen of matching placebo twice daily starting 12 hours later through the second dose on Day 7, inclusive.

Treatment groups

300 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: DapansutrileExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Placebo TabletPlacebo comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To evaluate the efficacy of dapansutrile as an acute gout flare treatment compared to placebo in reducing joint pain at 72 hours post initial loading dose of IMP

Change from baseline in the subject-assessed pain intensity score evaluated on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) in the target joint at 72 hours post initial loading dose for dapansutrile compared to placebo. The visual analog scale has anchors of 0 indicating no pain and 100 indicating the worst pain.

Time frame
72 hours

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in joint pain in the target joint at scheduled time points post initial loading dose of study drug

Change from baseline in the subject-assessed pain intensity score evaluated on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) in the target joint at specified timepoints up to Day 15 post initial loading dose of study drug. The visual analog scale has anchors of 0 indicating no pain and 100 indicating the worst pain.

Time frame
12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 hours; 8 and 15 days
2

To assess the clinical activity of dapansutrile compared to placebo in treating signs and symptoms of an acute gout flare other than pain (tenderness, swelling, erythema, warmth, and range of motion).

Patient Global Assessment of Response to Treatment (PGART) will be completed by the subject through Day 8. The PGART is a 5-level Likert-type single item (i.e., one general question the Subject is asked to answer) about the overall perceived status of their response to treatment on a scale from "None" to "Excellent".

Time frame
4 and 8 days
3

To assess the clinical activity of dapansutrile compared to placebo in treating signs and symptoms of an acute gout flare other than pain (tenderness, swelling, erythema, warmth, and range of motion)

Change from baseline in the Investigator-assessed Target Joint Score at scheduled assessments through Study Day 15. The Investigator-assessed Target Joint Score is a combined assessment of individual assessments for the following outcome domains: tenderness, swelling, erythema, warmth, and range of motion each with a scale of 0 through 3, with lower scoring in each domain indicating better outcomes in the respective domain.

Time frame
8 and 15 days
4

To assess the clinical activity of dapansutrile compared to placebo in treating signs and symptoms of an acute gout flare other than pain (tenderness, swelling, erythema, warmth, and range of motion).

Investigator Global Assessment of Response to Treatment (IGART) will be completed by the Investigator through Study Day 8. The IGART is a 5-level Likert-type single item (i.e., one general question the Investigator is asked to answer) about the overall perceived status of the subject's response to treatment on a scale from "None" to "Excellent".

Time frame
4 and 8 days
