Hyperuricemia Gout | Drug: ALLN-346 Drug: Placebo | Phase 2 |
This is a Phase II, 7-day, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of orally administered ALLN-346 in subjects with hyperuricemia. Study will take place at a clinical pharmacology unit (CPU). The study will have two Parts with Part 1 administering the target dose and subject continuing Part 2 to explore a lower dose response.
The study will evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (lack of absorption) and pharmacodynamics of ALLN-346.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 24 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Study population includes generally healthy subjects with hyperuricemia. The study is comprised of a planned Part 1, where the maximal tolerated dose from the MAD study in normal healthy volunteers (Study 102) will be administered, and an optional Part 2, which will explore a lower dose. If Part 2 is conducted, subjects from Part 1 will continue in Part 2 under the same treatment group (ALLN-346 or placebo). New subjects may enroll in Part 2 in the case where a Part 1 subject(s) does not continue. |
Masking: | Double (Participant, Investigator) |
Masking Description: | Subjects, Investigators and laboratories involved in the conduct of the study will be blinded to subject treatment assignment. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
