Hyperuricemia & Gout Clinical Trials

Struggling with Painful Gout Flare-ups Caused By High Uric Acid

Explore Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trials in Michigan!

Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, severe pain, redness, and swelling in the joints often the big toe, ankle, or knee. It develops when uric acid levels in the blood get too high, forming sharp crystals that settle in the joints. This condition, known as hyperuricemia, can lead to recurring and painful gout attacks that interfere with daily activities and quality of life. For many adults, gout becomes difficult to manage over time, even with current medications.

About Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trials in Michigan

Hyperuricemia occurs when there is too much uric acid in the blood. Over time, this excess uric acid can form crystals in the joints, leading to painful inflammation known as gout. Gout flare-ups can be triggered by factors such as genetics, diet, dehydration, or certain medical conditions.

Some people experience gout attacks frequently, and others find that traditional treatments don’t work well enough to keep their uric acid levels under control. That’s why hyperuricemia and gout research studies are vital to identify new therapies that could offer better relief and long-term management.

Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trials will be conducted in several locations across the United States, including Michigan. To ensure study eligibility, all participants must comply with study procedures. The study will compare an investigational medication to a standard therapy to determine its safety and effectiveness in reducing uric acid levels.

*There is no cost to you, your private medical insurance, or the public health insurance plan for study procedures. The study-related procedures, and visits will be provided at no charge throughout the duration of the study.

About Hyperuricemia, Gout & Its Symptoms

Both gout and hyperuricemia are linked to excess uric acid in the body. When uric acid crystals form in the joints, they trigger painful inflammation. It has been found that approximately 43.3 million Americans have this condition.

Common symptoms of gout include:

  • Sudden and severe joint pain, often in the big toe, ankle, or knee
  • Swelling, redness, and warmth around the affected joint
  • Limited mobility during flare-ups
  • Lingering discomfort even after pain subsides

In some people, gout attacks occur only occasionally. For others, they may happen more frequently, lasting longer and affecting multiple joints. Recurrent flares can cause chronic joint inflammation and lead to visible lumps called tophi, which form under the skin around joints. If left unmanaged, persistently high uric acid levels can lead to joint damage, kidney stones, and even decreased kidney function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is hyperuricemia?

Hyperuricemia means there is too much uric acid in your blood. This buildup can lead to gout, a painful form of arthritis that affects the joints.

2. Can gout and hyperuricemia be treated?

Yes, gout is typically managed with medications that lower uric acid levels. This study will compare an investigational medication to a standard therapy to determine its safety and effectiveness in reducing uric acid levels.

3. What causes high uric acid levels?

High uric acid can result from genetics, diet (especially foods high in purines), dehydration, obesity, certain medications, or kidney problems.

4. Will my information remain private?

Yes. All your personal and health-related information will be kept confidential under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) guidelines.
