Efficacy Study of Acupuncture on Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia
Asymptomatic Hyperuricemiahyperuricemia (HUA) is an important risk factor for various chronic diseases, such as gout, and the current treatment programs for HUA are not ideal. It is urgent to find new methods to prevent and treat HUA and to carry out early clinical intervention. Acupuncture is commonly used for the treatment of HUA, while the evidence for its efficacy is still uncertain. This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of manual acupuncture for asymptomatic HUA.
Treat-to-target by Email During Urate-lowering Therapy in Gout
GoutInflammatory Rheumatism2 moreGout is secondary to urate crystal deposition after chronic elevation of serum urate level (SUL). Long-term lowering SUL below 360 µmol/L allows dissolution of deposited crystals and disease cure. There is currently a paradoxical observation: while urate-lowering therapy (ULT) is available and efficient there is an increase of gout prevalence and severity. The apparent failure of ULT in gout management is due to several causes including unadjusted dosage, no SUL verification, irregular follow-up and low treatment compliance. In contrast, a nurse-led treat-to-target (T2T) strategy with regular adaptations of ULT until reaching SUL target allows gout cure in more than 90% of patients. We hypothesize that an electronic messaging-led T2T strategy will allow obtaining similar results. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that email-led T2T strategy during ULT is superior to usual care.

Uric Acid Lowering Trial in Youth Onset T2D
Diabetic Kidney DiseaseHyperuricemia7 moreAdolescents and young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) are disproportionally impacted by hyperuricemia compared to non-diabetic peers and youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In fact, 50% of males with youth-onset T2D have serum uric acid (SUA) greater than 6.8 mg/dl. The investigators also recently demonstrated that higher SUA conferred greater odds of developing hypertension and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in youth with T2D over 7 years follow-up. Elevated SUA is thought to lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and DKD by inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and deleterious effects on nephron mass. While there are studies demonstrating beneficial effects of uric acid (UA) lowering on vascular health in the general population, there are no studies in youth-onset T2D. Youth-onset T2D carries a greater risk of DKD and CVD compared to adult-onset T2D and T1D. Accordingly, a clinical trial evaluating UA lowering therapies is needed in youth-onset T2D. Krystexxa (pegloticase), a uricase, effectively lowers SUA and therefore holds promise as a novel therapy to impede the development of CVD and DKD in youth-onset T2D. This proposal describes a pilot and feasibility trial evaluating the effect of UA lowering by pegloticase on markers of CVD and DKD in ten (n=10) youth aged 18-25 with youth-onset T2D (diagnosed <21 years of age) over 7 days. The overarching hypothesis is that pegloticase improves marker of cardiorenal health by lowering UA.

A Study Exploring Efficacy of Pegloticase in Subjects With Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia
Asymptomatic HyperuricemiaThe main purpose To evaluate the safety and tolerability of pegloticase in subjects with asymptomatic hyperuricemia by single intravenous infusion at different doses, and to provide a basis for multiple doses of Pegloticase in subjects with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. A secondary purpose To evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of Pegloticase with single-pass intravenous drip in subjects with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Exploratory purpose Plasma uricase activity (pUox) analysis of pegloticase with single-pass intravenous drip in subjects with asymptomatic hyperuricemia.
