Brief Summary:
The primary purpose of this study is to observe patients being treated with pegloticase in a standard healthcare setting in order to evaluate the frequency and severity of infusion reactions, anaphylaxis and immune complex related events. Additionally, serious adverse events associated with pegloticase therapy will be identified.
Detailed Description:
This was a Phase 4, multicenter, open-label, single-arm observational study of pegloticase 8 mg administered intravenously every 2 weeks in adult hyperuricemic patients with gout refractory to conventional therapy. Study duration is approximately 63 weeks, including 51 weeks of treatment and 12 weeks of follow-up.
The design of this study follows the FDA-approved Full Prescribing Information for the use of pegloticase and allows for capturing additional data related to the safety and efficacy of pegloticase within the standard healthcare setting.
