Arm Description

Rasburicase treatment at week 1, 4 and 8 with stable dose oral urate-lowering therapy for 24 weeks.

Rasburicase treatment at week 12, 16 and 20 with stable dose oral urate-lowering therapy for 24 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Monosodium urate crystal volume change evaluated by dual energy CT
Dual energy CT at baseline, week 12 and week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Tophus volume change evaluated by physical examination
The percentage of patients who have at least one tophi disappeared
The percentage of patients who had achieved serum urate concentrations less than 300 μmol/L (5mg/dl) after 3 months of rasburicase treatment
Number of gout flare
Change of patient global assessment
The patient global assessment is given as a single question, scored from 0-10, with higher numbers representing worse perceived disease activity or overall health.
Change of physician global assessment
The physician global assessment is given as a single question, scored from 0-10, with higher numbers representing worse perceived disease activity or overall health.
Change of Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain in gout flare
Visual Analog for Pain consists of a horizontal line, usually 100mm in length. The left end of the line signifies no pain while the right end signifies the worst possible pain.
Change of global functional status
The criteria are as follows: class I = able to perform usual activities of daily living (self-care, vocational, and avocational); class II = able to perform usual self-care and vocational activities, but limited in avocational activities; class III = able to perform usual self-care activities but limited in vocational and avocational activities; class IV = limited in ability to perform usual self-care, vocational, and avocational activities.
Change of Short Form 12 health survey score
Change of Tophus Impact Questionnaire (TIQ)-20 score
Adverse event
Severe adverse event
Number of patients who have positive anti-rasburicase antibodies
