Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of lesinurad administered with an XOI versus a placebo plus an XOI in gout participants who have moderate renal impairment and who are not at target level of serum urate (sUA).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Gout Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Drug: Lesinurad Drug: XOI Drug: Placebo Drug: colchicine Drug: corticosteroids Phase 4

Detailed Description:
This postmarketing study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate safety (with particular focus on renal and cardiovascular events) and efficacy of lesinurad 200 mg once daily (QD) in combination with an XOI for up to 24 months compared with XOI monotherapy, in participants with gout and moderate renal impairment who have not reached target sUA levels (<6.0 mg/dL) on an XOI alone.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Serum Urate (sUA) < 6.0 mg/dL at Month 6 [ Time Frame: Month 6 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieve sUA < 6.0 mg/dL Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline, Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 ]
  2. Change From Baseline in sUA Over Time, Including the Last Value On and Off Treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline, Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 ]
  3. Percent Change From Baseline in sUA Over Time, Including the Last Value On and Off Treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline, Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 ]
  4. Change From Baseline in Estimated Creatinine Clearance (eCrCl) at Month 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, 24 months ]
    The eCrCl was calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula using ideal body weight.

  5. Percent Change From Baseline in eCrCl at Month 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, 24 months ]
    The eCrCl was calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula using ideal body weight.

  6. Change From Baseline in eCrCl Over the Study Period, Including the Last Value On and Off Treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline, Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 ]
    The eCrCl was calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula using ideal body weight.

  7. Percent Change From Baseline in eCrCl Over the Study Period, Including the Last Value On and Off Treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline, Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 ]
    The eCrCl was calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula using ideal body weight.

  8. Percentage of Participants With Serum Creatinine (sCr) Elevations (≥1.5 × Baseline) Over the Study Period [ Time Frame: up to 18 months ]
  9. Percentage of Participants Meeting Criteria (eg, Based on sCr or eCrCl Criteria) for Treatment Discontinuations Over the Study Period [ Time Frame: up to 18 months ]
    Kidney function was monitored throughout the study by measuring sCr and calculating eCrCl by Cockcroft-Gault formula using ideal body weight. Treatment discontinuations were required if a participant experienced an absolute sCr ≥4.0 mg/dL or an eCrCl <20 mL/min (based on central laboratory results).

  10. Percentage of Participants Renal-Related and Kidney Stone Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug through each participant's study duration, up to approximately 18 months. ]
    Renal-related and kidney stone events were based on Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) "Renal and Urinary Disorders" system organ classification. AEs that started on or after the first dose of study drug in this study, or those AEs with onset prior to the first dose of study drug but worsened after the first dose of study drug, were considered treatment emergent.

  11. Percentage of Participants With Contributing Factors to Renal SAEs as Adjudicated by the Renal Event Adjudication Committee (REAC) [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug through each participant's study duration, up to approximately 18 months. ]
  12. Percentage of Participants With Cardiac Event Adjudication Committee (CEAC)-Adjudicated Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug through each participant's study duration, up to approximately 18 months. ]
    MACEs are defined as Cardiovascular Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction, and Nonfatal Stroke.

  13. Incidence of CEAC-Adjudicated MACEs or Hospitalization for Unstable Angina (MACE+) [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug through each participant's study duration, up to approximately 18 months. ]
    MACEs are defined as Cardiovascular Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction, and Nonfatal Stroke.
