Brief Summary   This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, parallel group Phase III study. In this study two rilonacept doses will be evaluated; a 320 mg loading dose followed by a weekly 160 mg maintenance dose, and a 160 mg loading dose followed by a 80 mg weekly maintenance dose. This study will be conducted in 240 patients across 85 sites in 5 countries including India. This study would be conducted at 12 Indian sites and will enroll 80 subjects in India. It is hypothesized that in subjects with hyperuricemia and gout who are initiating therapy with allopurinol, the mean number of gout flares from Day 1 to Week 16 in subjects randomized to rilonacept 80 mg or 160 mg weekly will be less than the mean number of Gout flares from Day 1 to Week 16 in subjects randomized to placebo. The primary end points will be the number of gout flares per subject assessed from Day 1 to Week 16. Number of patients to be enrolled in India: 80 Total Number of sites: 12 Anticipated date of enrollment: November 15, 2009
