  • All of the industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for gout are in Phase II in the US. These therapies focus on targets such as uric acid, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma, the interleukin (IL)-1 receptor, and the immune system/reactive oxygen species/free radicals. The majority of pipeline drugs are administered via the oral route, with the remainder being intravenous and subcutaneous formulations.
