About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of pegloticase 18 mg subcutaneously (SC) every two weeks with methotrexate (MTX) versus pegloticase 8 mg intravenously (IV) every two weeks with MTX on the response rate during Month 6, as measured by the sustained normalization of serum uric acid (sUA) to < 6 mg/dL for at least 80% of the time during Month 6.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Pegloticase SC with MTXTreatment being tested
Participants will receive pegloticase SC every two weeks with MTX.
Treatment: Pegloticase and Methotrexate
- Pegloticase IV with MTXTreatment being tested
Participants will receive pegloticase IV every two weeks with MTX.
Treatment: Pegloticase and Methotrexate
