Hyperuricemia & Gout Clinical Trials

Struggling with Painful Gout Flare-ups Caused By High Uric Acid?

Explore Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trials in Michigan!

Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, severe pain, redness, and swelling in the joints often the big toe, ankle, or knee. It develops when uric acid levels in the blood get too high, forming sharp crystals that settle in the joints. This condition, known as hyperuricemia, can lead to recurring and painful gout attacks that interfere with daily activities and quality of life. For many adults, gout becomes difficult to manage over time, even with current medications.

Revive Research Institute is conducting Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trials in Michigan to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for hyperuricemia and gout.

About Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trials in Michigan

Hyperuricemia occurs when there is too much uric acid in the blood. Over time, this excess uric acid can form crystals in the joints, leading to painful inflammation known as gout. Gout flare-ups can be triggered by factors such as genetics, diet, dehydration, or certain medical conditions.

Some people experience gout attacks frequently, and others find that traditional treatments don’t work well enough to keep their uric acid levels under control. That’s why hyperuricemia and gout research studies are important in evaluating new investigational therapies.

Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trials will be conducted in several locations across the United States, including Michigan. To ensure study eligibility, all participants must comply with study procedures. The study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for people with hyperuricemia and gout.

*There is no cost to you, your private medical insurance, or the public health insurance plan for study procedures. The study-related procedures, and visits will be provided at no charge throughout the duration of the study.

Get Started: What to Expect?

If you’re living with hyperuricemia or gout and are interested in participating in a Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trial, please reach out to us by filling in the form above. One of our study team representatives will contact you to see if you are eligible for this study (pre-screening).

If you meet the initial study criteria during the pre-screening process, a member of the research team will provide information about the Informed Consent Form (ICF). After reviewing and signing the ICF, we will invite you for a screening visit to our clinical site; this will be an initial visit. After that, you will undergo a series of health-related questions and tests to confirm your eligibility as a participant.

If you meet all study requirements, you may be enrolled in the Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trial. You will receive all the information about the research study you might enroll in during the ICF process. We encourage you to ask as many questions as you would like before deciding to participate.

About Hyperuricemia, Gout & Its Symptoms

hyperuricemia and gout clinical trials

Both gout and hyperuricemia are linked to excess uric acid in the body. When uric acid crystals form in the joints, they trigger painful inflammation. It has been found that approximately 43.3 million Americans have this condition.

Common symptoms of gout include:

  • Sudden and severe joint pain, often in the big toe, ankle, or knee
  • Swelling, redness, and warmth around the affected joint
  • Limited mobility during flare-ups
  • Lingering discomfort even after pain subsides

In some people, gout attacks occur only occasionally. For others, they may happen more frequently, lasting longer and affecting multiple joints. Recurrent flares can cause chronic joint inflammation and lead to visible lumps called tophi, which form under the skin around joints. If left unmanaged, persistently high uric acid levels can lead to joint damage, kidney stones, and even decreased kidney function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Hyperuricemia is a condition that occurs when there is too much uric acid in your blood. This buildup of uric acid can lead to gout, a painful form of arthritis that affects the joints.

Yes, gout is typically managed with medications that lower uric acid levels. This study will compare an investigational medication to a standard therapy to determine its safety and effectiveness in reducing uric acid levels.

High uric acid can result from genetics, diet (especially foods high in purines), dehydration, obesity, certain medications, or kidney problems.

Yes. All your personal and health-related information will be kept confidential under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) guidelines.

Participation in the Hyperuricemia and Gout Clinical Trials in Michigan is free of cost to you and your health insurance.
