Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is confirmatory investigation of safety and efficacy (dose response and optimal dose according to the percent reduction from baseline in serum urate level at the final visit) of FYU-981 administered orally to hyperuricemic patients with and without gout for 12 weeks (dose-escalating initial period: 4 weeks followed by maintenance period: 8 weeks) by the method of randomized (dynamic allocation), placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group comparison.
