Study Summary

This 8-week study is designed to determine the target dose of canakinumab (ACZ885) for the management of acute flare in gout patients who are contraindicated to Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or colchicine. The efficacy of ACZ885 will be compared to the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide.

Primary Outcome

Mean target dose at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Four models: Emax, Logistic, Linear in log-dose, Linear were selected to describe the potential dose-response curve and hence estimate the target dose of canakinumab using baseline Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Body Mass Index (BMI) as covariates. Target dose was defined as the dose for which the efficacy is equivalent to the efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg and was identified by assessing the dose response relationship with regards to the pain i
