Brief summary

This is an open-label extension phase of two double-blind, placebo-controled Phase 3 protocols evaluating PEG-uricase in the treatment of hyperuricemic subjects with symptomatic gout. The purpose of this study is to provide a continuation of treatment to subjects completing the double-blind studies and obtain long-term safety and efficacy data.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Tophus ResponseUp to 2 yearsTarget tophi evaluated during the randomized, controlled study were followed for response at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months in this open-label extention study. Results from each participant's final assessment on drug are reported (as last observation carried forward). Complete response=complete disappearance of at least one tophus with no new or worsening tophus. Partial Response=a 50% or more decrease in at least one tophus with no new or worsening tophus.
Patient Reported Outcome: SF-36 Physical Component Summary ScoreRCT Week 25; OLE Week 25; OLE Week 53, OLE Week 77, OLE Week 101SF-36 is the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-36, a 36-item self-reported questionnaire which assesses health-related limitations in 8 dimensions.

Recruitment details

Subjects completing one of the randomized, controlled Phase 3 clinical trials (RCTs) of pegloticase \[C0405 and C0406 (NCT00325195)\] were invited to participate in this open-label extension study.

Pre-assignment details

Participants made the decision, along with the treating investigator, of which dose to receive in this study while remaining blinded to treatment received and results during the RCT. Cohort designations are based on participants' initial RCT treatment and whether uric acid remained \<6 mg/dL for 80% of the time during months 3 and 6 in the RCT.

Patient Reported Outcome: SF-36 Physical Component Summary Score

SF-36 is the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-36, a 36-item self-reported questionnaire which assesses health-related limitations in 8 dimensions. The Physical Component Summary Score (PCS) is a composite summary score derived from the dimensions related to physical functioning outcomes: Physical Function, Role Physical, General Health and Bodily Pain (each with a 0 to 100 scale where 0=worst, 100=best). The Summary Score is constructed as a T-score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10, where higher scores indicate a better health status.

Time frame: RCT Week 25; OLE Week 25; OLE Week 53, OLE Week 77, OLE Week 101
