Study Summary

A open label multi-center 3-period multidose, PK/PD and drug-drug interaction (DDI) study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of 7 days of treatment with two doses of dotinurad monotherapy, and to evaluate the effect of dotinurad, as monotherapy and in combination with allopurinol, versus allopurinol monotherapy, on the PK of each, and to assess the additive PD effects on serum uric acid and urinary urate excretion in U.S. patients with gout and hyperuricemia

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. In the opinion of the investigator, the patient is capable of understanding andcomplying with protocol requirements.

  2. Patients with a diagnosis of gout based on American College of Rheumatologycriteria (1997). Patients must fulfill at least 3 of the following, with one ofthose 3 being (i) hyperuricemia.

  3. More than one attack of acute arthritis

  4. Maximum inflammation developed within 1 day

  5. Monoarthritis attack

  6. Redness observed over joints

  7. First metatarsophalangeal joint painful or swollen

  8. Unilateral first metatarsophalangeal joint attack

  9. Unilateral tarsal joint attack

  10. Tophus (proven or suspected)

  11. Hyperuricemia.

  12. Asymmetric swelling within a joint on x-ray

  13. Subcortical cysts without erosions on x-ray

  14. Monosodium urate monohydrate microcrystals on joint fluid during attack

  15. Joint fluid culture negative for organisms during attack 3. The patient signsand dates a written, informed consent form and any required privacyauthorization prior to the initiation of any study procedures includingrequesting that a patient fast for any laboratory evaluations.

  16. Negative COVID-19 test by either PCR or rapid antigen test at screeningand check-in prior to first period, and agrees to be compliant with allCOVID-19 measures mandated by the CRU prior to screening/entry into thetrial.

  17. Male or female between 18 and 75 years of age (inclusive). To be eligible,females can be either of NCBP (confirmed by surgical history, medicalhistory of twelve consecutive months of amenorrhea, or FSH levels) orfemales of childbearing potential must be on a reliable method of birthcontrol and also have a negative urine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)pregnancy test results on the Study Day -1.

  18. Screening serum uric acid level of ≥7 mg/dl. a. If a patient is not on uric acid-lowering therapies (ULT) prior to screening, therequired fasting sUA level is at least one ≥7 mg/dl during Screening b. If a patientis on ULT prior to screening, the required fasting sUA level is at least one =>7mg/dl between Day -7 and Day -1 7. Screening liver enzymes (LFTs) <1.5x ULN. Totalbilirubin <1x ULN. For patients with documented Gilbert Syndrome, total bilirubin ≤3x ULN with direct bilirubin <1x ULN.

  19. Screening renal function eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2. 9. Pre-dose hemoglobin shouldbe within the normal range. 10. Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18.5 and ≤ 40.0 (kg/m2)and a body weight of no less than 50 kg.

  20. Medically healthy with no clinically significant screening results includingbut not limited to:

  21. Laboratory profiles other than sUA

  22. Urinalysis

  23. Vital signs

  24. Electrocardiograms (ECGs)

  25. Physical examination 12. No use of tobacco or nicotine containing products (including smoking cessation products), for a minimum of 3 months prior todosing.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The subject has current or historical evidence of any clinically significantdisease or condition that might complicate the subject's participation, or, inthe opinion of the Investigator, may place the subject at an unacceptable riskas a participant in this trial, may interfere with the interpretation of safetyand/or tolerability data obtained in the trial, or may interfere with theabsorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study drug.

  2. Patients with unstable angina, New York Heart Association Class III or IV heartfailure, myocardial infarction, stroke, or deep venous thrombosis within 1 yearprior to Day 1.

  3. QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia's formula >470msec in females and >450 msec in males during Screening, confirmed by a repeatassessment.

  4. History of or presence of kidney stones. 5. History of or presence ofmalignancy in the last 5 years other than treated cutaneous basal or squamouscell carcinoma.

  5. Urological disorder not well controlled. 7. Peptic ulcer disease requiringactive treatment. 8. Cannot safely discontinue uric acid-lowering medication 14days prior to study start to 9 days after the last dose of study medication wasadministered.

  6. Surgery within the past 90 days prior to dosing as determined by the PrincipalInvestigator to be clinically relevant.

  7. Use of agents that could confound serum uric acid analysis (eg, long-term useof salicylates >100 mg or use of losartan).

  8. Patients with an acute gout flare during the screening period that had notresolved 1 week prior to the first dose of study.

  9. Hypersensitivity or intolerance to allopurinol, dotinurad or colchicine. 13.Positive for HLA-B*58:01 allele 14. History or presence of alcoholism orchronic drug abuse within the past 2 years.

  10. Psychiatric disorder or social situation that prevents compliance with theprotocol.

  11. Female patients who are pregnant or lactating. 17. Positive results for theurine drug /alcohol breath test/cotinine at check-in.

  12. Positive results at screening for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), HepatitisB Surface Antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis C antibodies (HCV).

  13. Patient's semi-recumbent blood pressure is less than 90/40 mmHg or greater than 155/90 mmHg during Screening and Day -1.

  14. Stable dose of medications for long-term conditions such as diabetes, highcholesterol, hypertension, asthma, etc. are allowed (provided that the patienthas been on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to Screening and is notexpected to require dose adjustment during the study through 7 days poststudy).

  15. Patient reports receiving a strong or moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 or a P-gpinhibitor within 1 month prior to study drug dosing, due to potentialinteractions with colchicine.

  16. Patient has taken azathioprine, Imuran, or other medications that may interactwith allopurinol within 1 month prior to study drug dosing 23. Participation inanother clinical trial within 30 days of last IP administration or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of administration of any study drug evaluated in thattrial prior to screening for this trial. Previous participation in a dotinuradtrial is also exclusionary.
