Popis: SUMMARY: BACKGROUND: Gout flares are driven by interleukin (IL)-1β. Dapansutrile inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome and subsequent activation of IL-1β. In this study we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of orally administered dapansutrile in patients with a gout flare. METHODS: In this open-label, proof-of-concept, phase 2a trial, adult patients (aged 18–80 years) with a monoarticular monosodium urate crystal-proven gout flare were enrolled at an outpatient clinic in the Netherlands and sequentially assigned using a dose-adaptive design to receive 100 mg/day, 300 mg/day, 1000 mg/day, or 2000 mg/day oral dapansutrile for 8 days. The coprimary outcomes were change in patient-reported target joint pain from baseline to day 3 and from baseline to day 7, assessed in the per-protocol population (all patients who received at least 80% of the study drug and had no major protocol deviations). Safety was assessed in the intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with the EU Clinical Trials Register, EudraCT 2016-000943-14, and is completed. FINDINGS: Between May 18, 2017, and Jan 21, 2019, 144 patients were assessed for eligibility, of whom 34 were enrolled and 29 were included in the per-protocol population (three patients were excluded due to receiving
