A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-blind, Efficacy and Safety Study of 2 Dose Levels of Purified Cortrophin® Gel in Patients With Acute Gouty Arthritis Flares

The treatment period is double-blind, and the patients will be randomized to treatment with 40 U Purified Cortrophin® Gel or 80 U Purified Cortrophin® Gel in a 1:1 ratio. Purified Cortrophin® Gel will be administered once (either subcutaneously or intramuscularly) on the first visit (Day 0; Visit 1) and surveyed after 24 hours (Day 1), 48 hours (Day 2), and 72 hours (Day 3; Visit 2) as well as on Day 7.
