Gout Study
Are between 18 and 85 years old
Have a diagnosis of gout
Have had at least 2 gout attacks in the past 12 months
Would be willing to take treatment daily to prevent gout attacks
If you take part in this study, the study doctor will see you monthly over the next 6 months to optimise your treatment, with the goal of reducing your gout attacks. This will help researchers to see how people respond to different doses of the gout medication allopurinol.
Sometimes allopurinol is prescribed to people at doses that are too low to effectively control their gout. This means that they may continue to have gout attacks, even if they are taking medication. This global interventional study will track the effectiveness and safety of individualised doses of allopurinol. The results of this study will help doctors to optimise treatment for people with gout.
What is required from the participant?
Close study-related monitoring of your gout to optimise your treatment at no cost to you
Compensation for travel
Reimbursement for your gout medication (allopurinol)
