RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Determine the efficacy and safety of daily lesinurad (200 or 400â mg orally) added to allopurinol in patients with serum uric acid (sUA) above target in a 12-month, randomised, phase III trial. METHODS: Patients on allopurinol ≥300â mg (≥200â mg in moderate renal impairment) had sUA level of ≥6.5â mg/dL (≥387â µmol/L) at screening and two or more gout flares in the prior year. Primary end point was the proportion of patients achieving sUA level of <6.0â mg/dL (<357â µmol/L) (month 6). Key secondary end points were mean gout flare rate requiring treatment (months 7 through 12) and proportions of patients with complete resolution of one or more target tophi (month 12). Safety assessments included adverse events and laboratory data. RESULTS: Patients (n=610) were predominantly male, with mean (±SD) age 51.2±10.90â years, gout duration 11.5±9.26â years and baseline sUA of 6.9±1.2â mg/dL (410±71â µmol/L). Lesinurad at 200 and 400â mg doses, added to allopurinol, significantly increased proportions of patients achieving sUA target versus allopurinol-alone therapy by month 6 (55.4%, 66.5% and 23.3%, respectively, p<0.0001 both lesinurad+allopurinol groups). In key secondary end points, there were no statistically significant treatment-group differences favouring lesinurad. Lesinurad was generally well tolerated; the 200â mg dose had a safety profile comparable with allopurinol-alone therapy. Renal-related adverse events occurred in 5.9% of lesinurad 200â mg+allopurinol, 15.0% of lesinurad 400â mg+allopurinol and 4.9% of allopurinol-alone groups, with serum creatinine elevation of ≥1.5× baseline in 5.9%, 15.0% and 3.4%, respectively. Serious treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 4.4% of lesinurad 200â mg+allopurinol, in 9.5% of lesinurad 400â mg+allopurinol and in 3.9% of allopurinol-alone groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: Lesinurad added to allopurinol demonstrated superior sUA lowering versus allopurinol-alone therapy and lesinurad 200â mg was generally well tolerated in patients with gout warranting additional therapy. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT01493531.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of lesinurad, a selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitor, in a 6 month, phase 3 clinical trial and extension study. Methods: Patients with gout who cannot take a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) and have serum uric acid (sUA) ⩾6.5 mg/dl were randomized to receive oral lesinurad (400 mg daily) or placebo. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with sUA <6.0 mg/dl at month 6. Safety assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and laboratory data. Patients who completed the study were eligible for an open-label, uncontrolled extension study of lesinurad 400 mg monotherapy. Results: Patients (n = 214) were primarily white males (mean age 54.4 years; gout duration 11.2 years). Significantly more patients achieved the primary endpoint with lesinurad than placebo (29.9 vs 1.9%; P < 0.0001). Overall TEAE rates were higher with lesinurad (77.6 vs 65.4%); renal-related TEAEs (17.8%), renal-related serious TEAEs (4.7%) and serum creatinine elevations (1.5 times baseline, 24.3%) occurred only with lesinurad. A total of 143 patients (65 lesinurad, 78 placebo) enrolled in the extension study. Treatment with lesinurad 400 mg resulted in rapid and sustained sUA lowering that persisted for up to 18 months before the study was terminated prematurely. No new safety findings were observed in the extension. Conclusion: In patients with gout and intolerance/contraindication to XOIs, lesinurad 400 mg monotherapy demonstrated superior sUA lowering compared with placebo, with sustained effects for up to 18 months. Due to a high incidence of serum creatinine elevations and renal-related adverse events, including serious adverse events with lesinurad 400 mg, lesinurad should not be used as monotherapy.

AIMS: Clinical trials have established the value of clopidogrel therapy in a wide spectrum of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Both loss- and gain-of-function single nucleotide variants of CYP2C19 genes have been identified that affect clopidogrel metabolism and anti-platelet response. We sought to determine the impact of CYP2C19 polymorphisms on ischaemic and bleeding events. METHODS AND RESULTS: A subset of patients from the Clopidogrel for High Atherothrombotic Risk and Ischemic Stabilization, Management, and Avoidance (CHARISMA) trial who consented to genotyping was analysed. Patients with clinically evident cardiovascular disease or multiple risk factors were enrolled in the trial. The rates of ischaemic and bleeding events were compared between carriers and non-carriers of loss-of-function and gain-of-function alleles in patients randomized to clopidogrel vs. placebo. A total of 4819 patients were genotyped and available for the analysis. Carriers of CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles did not have an increased rate of ischaemic events. However, clopidogrel-treated patients did have a significantly lower rate of any bleeding in carriers: 36.1% (240/665) vs. 42.5% (681/1601) in non-carriers, HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.69-0.93, P = 0.003 (genotype/treatment interaction, P-value = 0.023). The CYP2C19 gain-of-function alleles did not affect ischaemic or bleeding endpoints. CONCLUSION: No relationship was seen between CYP2C19 status and ischaemic outcomes in stable patients treated with clopidogrel. There was, however, significantly less bleeding with clopidogrel in carriers of the loss-of-function allele, suggesting less anti-platelet response. Although several prior studies, including mainly stented patients, have emphasized the relationship between CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles and efficacy of clopidogrel, this study of stable patients establishes a potential link with reduced bleeding complications. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00050817.

INTRODUCTION: Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with neutrophilic infiltration of the epidermis. RIST4721 antagonizes CXC chemokine receptor type 2, which is important in neutrophil recruitment and migration. In this study, the efficacy and safety of RIST4721 versus placebo were assessed in adult subjects with moderate to severe PPP. METHODS: This phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigated RIST4721 versus placebo in subjects with moderate to severe PPP. Key eligibility criteria included: Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index (PPPASI) ≥ 8 and Palmoplantar Pustulosis Physician Global Assessment ≥ 3. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to RIST4721 300 mg or placebo once daily for 28 days. The primary efficacy endpoints were relative change from baseline in fresh and total pustule count at day 28. RESULTS: Fifteen subjects received RIST4721 and 19 subjects received placebo. Treatment with RIST4721 was found to be generally well tolerated. At day 28, the mean ± standard deviation (SD) relative change from baseline in fresh pustule count was 0.86 ± 0.692 and 0.53 ± 0.561 (P = 0.240) and in total pustule count was 0.99 ± 0.667 and 0.96 ± 0.672 (P = 0.804) for RIST4721 and placebo groups, respectively. Subgroup analysis of subjects with progressing disease demonstrated that subjects with a PPPASI-50 at day 28 was significantly higher for subjects treated with RIST4721 (71%) than placebo (15%) (P = 0.022). CONCLUSION: Preliminary data suggest RIST4721 is well tolerated and may be a potential therapy for patients with PPP. TRIAL REGISTRATION: RIST4721-201 was registered in June 2019 at clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03988335.
RESUMO
We analyzed the effects of a steroid avoidance protocol in pediatric renal transplant recipients on calculated CrCl (Schwartz), CMV infection, cholesterol, height Z scores, weight Z scores, and BMI Z scores in a case control trial with contemporaneous controls. From 1999 to 2004, 19 pediatric patients (age 1-20 yr) received transplants without steroids using immunosuppression with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and daclizumab. Control patients (n = 30) were matched for length of follow-up (minimum one yr), donor type age, type of immunosuppression, sex, date of transplant, and original disease, and CMV status. Graft survival at one year was 100% in both groups. Mean CrCl of steroid-free vs. control patients were not different at 1 year post-transplant. CMV disease was more prevalent in steroid-treated control group (seven of 30 patients) vs. the steroid free control group (zero of 19). Height delta Z scores at one year were NOT different between groups. Weight and BMI delta Z scores were significantly higher in the control group. Cholesterol levels at one year post-transplant were different in the two groups but NOT ABNORMALLY elevated in either group. At one yr post-transplant, steroid-free immunosuppression with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and daclizumab provides outcomes that are equivalent or superior to those in contemporaneous control patients receiving steroids.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of lesinurad in combination with febuxostat in a 12-month phase III trial in patients with tophaceous gout. METHODS: Patients with serum urate (UA) ≥8.0 mg/dl (≥6.0 mg/dl with urate-lowering therapy) and ≥1 measurable target tophus were given febuxostat 80 mg/day for 3 weeks before randomization to receive lesinurad (200 or 400 mg daily) or placebo in addition to the febuxostat. The primary end point was the proportion of patients achieving a serum UA level of <5.0 mg/dl (month 6). The key secondary end point was the proportion of patients with complete resolution of ≥1 target tophus (month 12). Other end points included the percentage change in total target tophi area. Safety assessments included adverse events and laboratory data. RESULTS: Patients (n = 324) were predominantly male, with a mean age of 54.1 years. Significantly more patients achieved the serum UA target by month 6 with the addition of lesinurad 400 mg (76.1%; P < 0.0001), but not 200 mg (56.6%; P = 0.13), to the febuxostat therapy as compared with febuxostat alone (46.8%). At all other time points, significantly more patients in the lesinurad 200 mg group achieved the serum UA target. The number of patients with complete tophus resolution was not different between groups. Treatment with lesinurad (200 mg and 400 mg) plus febuxostat reduced the total target tophi area as compared with febuxostat alone (50.1% and 52.9% versus 28.3%, respectively; P < 0.05). Safety was generally comparable with that of febuxostat alone, except for higher rates of predominantly reversible elevations in the serum creatinine level, particularly with lesinurad 400 mg. CONCLUSION: Treatment with lesinurad in combination with febuxostat demonstrated superior lowering of serum UA levels as compared with febuxostat alone, with clinically relevant added effects on tophi and an acceptable safety profile with lesinurad 200 mg in patients with tophaceous gout warranting additional therapy.

OBJECTIVE: Lesinurad is a selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitor used for the treatment of gout in combination with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. The Combining Lesinurad with Allopurinol Standard of Care in Inadequate Responders (CLEAR 1) study, a 12-month, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial, was conducted to investigate daily lesinurad (200 mg or 400 mg orally) added to allopurinol versus placebo plus allopurinol in patients with serum urate (UA) levels above a target of <6.0 mg/dl. METHODS: Patients receiving ≥300 mg of allopurinol (≥200 mg in those with moderate renal impairment) who had serum UA levels ≥6.5 mg/dl at screening and ≥2 gout flares during the previous year were studied. The primary end point was the proportion of patients achieving a serum UA level of <6.0 mg/dl at month 6. Key secondary end points were the mean gout flare rate requiring treatment (months 7-12) and the proportions of patients with complete resolution of ≥1 target tophus (month 12). Safety assessments included adverse events and laboratory data. RESULTS: The study patients (n = 603) were predominantly male and had a mean ± SD age of 51.9 ± 11.3 years, a gout duration of 11.8 ± 9.4 years, a baseline serum UA level of 6.94 ± 1.27 mg/dl, and were receiving an allopurinol dosage of 306.6 ± 59.58 mg/day. Lesinurad at doses of 200 mg or 400 mg added to allopurinol therapy significantly increased the proportions of patients who achieved serum UA target levels by month 6 as compared with those receiving allopurinol alone (54.2%, 59.2%, and 27.9%, respectively, P < 0.0001). Lesinurad was not significantly superior to allopurinol alone in terms of the secondary end points: rates of gout flares and complete resolution of tophi. Lesinurad was generally well-tolerated; the safety profile of the 200-mg dose was comparable to that of allopurinol alone, except for higher incidences of predominantly reversible elevations of serum creatinine levels. CONCLUSION: Lesinurad added to allopurinol provided benefit as compared with allopurinol alone in reducing serum UA levels and represents a new treatment option for patients needing additional urate-lowering therapy.
