Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean plasma uric acid AUC0-96 [ Time Frame: 0hour, 4hour, 12 hour and q12h thereafter ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Median duration of therapy until control of plasma uric acid values to <8.0 mg/dL (only in patients hyperuricemic immediately prior to dosing) [ Time Frame: From administration of drug up to end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Biochemistry, hematology, vital signs, physical examination, and adverse events [ Time Frame: From administration of drug up to end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Proportion of patients developing hypertension requiring therapy [ Time Frame: From administration of drug up to end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Assays for circulating antibodies [ Time Frame: From administration of drug up to end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage reduction of plasma uric acid concentrations at T4h [ Time Frame: From administration of drug up to end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mean plasma uric acid concentrations [ Time Frame: At various timepoints ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Median duration of therapy until control of plasma uric acid values to <8.0 mg/dL [ Time Frame: From administration of drug up to end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
