  • Participants willing and able to comply with the prescribed treatment protocol and evaluations for the duration of the trial
  • Participants with uncontrolled gout, as meeting the protocol defined criteria

Who cannot take part

  • Participant received prior treatment with pegloticase, another recombinant uricase (ie, rasburicase or pegadricase), or concomitant therapy with a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated drug
  • A known intolerance to all protocol standard gout flare prophylaxis regimens (ie, participant must be able to tolerate at least 1 of the following: colchicine and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and/or low-dose prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day or equivalent dose of other corticosteroid)
  • Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (tested at the screening visit)
  • Liver transaminase levels (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] or alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) > 1.25 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or albumin < the lower limit of normal (LLN) at the screening visit
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and/or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 8%
  • Chronic renal impairment defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) calculations < 40 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 or currently on dialysis
  • Known intolerance to MTX

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
