Brief Summary  

This trial is a phase III, prospective, randomized, double blind, single dummy, comparative, parallel group, multicentric clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Topiroxostat Tablets versus Allopurinol Tablets in patients with hyperuricemia with or without gout.

 

Patients who are willing and able to participate in the study will sign and date the Informed Consent Form on the day of screening / baseline visit (Visit 1). During this screening period, patients who are willing to give consent will be evaluated for all the eligibility criteria. Eligible patients aged between 18 to 65 years (both inclusive), who are treatment naïve with diagnosis of hyperuricemia (serum uric acid level >7 mg/dL) with or without gout will be considered for the study.

 

After confirming the inclusion/exclusion criteria the subject will be randomized and provided with study medication at randomization visit. Patients will be provided with patient diary at randomization visit, which need to be brought along with in each subsequent visit till the last visit. Follow up visits will be done on week 2/day 14(±2), week 6/day 42(±2), week 10/day 70(±2) and week 16/day 112(±2) (Final Visit) of treatment to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability.

 

Patients will be assigned to either of the two arms i.e. Arm A or Arm B consisting of Topiroxostat Tablets or Allopurinol Tablets. Patients will be given the study medication twice daily for 16 weeks.

 

Patients will be advised to take one tablet twice daily orally, swallowed as a whole with water in the morning and evening around same time every day for 16 weeks.

 

Patients will be advised to maintain sufficient fluid intake during the study.

 

The dose up-titration method used in this study to minimize the risk of gouty arthritis arising in association with rapid serum uric acid reduction. The dosage of Allopurinol in the study will be set as 100 mg/day for the first 2 weeks and then 200 mg/day for 14 weeks. The dosage of Topiroxostat in the study will be set as 40 mg/day for the first 2 weeks and then 80 mg/day for 4 weeks, and 120 mg/day for 10 weeks.

 

Topiroxostat Tablets

20 mg - Twice Daily for first 2 weeks

40 mg - Twice Daily for next 4 weeks

60 mg - Twice Daily for next 10 weeks

 

Allopurinol Tablets
