According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial involved two groups of participants who were each taking a combination of two medicines — febuxostat (80 mg) plus either a lower dose (200 mg) or a higher dose (400 mg) of lesinurad. A total of 97 people started in the lower-dose group and 99 in the higher-dose group. The trial was measuring uric acid levels in the blood (uric acid is a substance that builds up in people with gout) and whether lumps under the skin caused by uric acid build-up, called tophi, fully disappeared over the course of the study period. The reported data shows that, among participants still being tracked at the 12-month extension point, 77.8% of those in the lower-dose combination group and 82.5% of those in the higher-dose combination group had blood uric acid levels below 5.0 mg/dL — the target level the trial was measuring against. For the second measure, looking only at participants who had at least one tophus (uric acid lump) at the start of the study, the reported data shows that 54.3% in the lower-dose group and 61.0% in the higher-dose group had at least one of those lumps completely resolve by the 12-month extension point. It is worth noting that a notable number of participants did not complete the study — 40 in the lower-dose group and 48 in the higher-dose group — and the figures above reflect only those who remained in the study at that time.
