Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is one of two replicate randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm trials to determine the safety and efficacy of two different dose levels of SEL-212 compared to placebo. Approximately 120 patients, stratified as to the presence or absence of tophi, will be randomized in a 1:1:1 allocation ratio prior to Baseline to receive treatment with one of two dose levels of SEL-212 or placebo every 28 days for approximately 6 months in each trial (SEL-212/301 and SEL-212/302). Analysis of efficacy will be performed at Day 28 of Treatment Period 6. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Phase 3

Detailed Description

This is one of two replicate randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm trials to determine the safety and efficacy of two different dose levels of SEL-212 compared to placebo. Approximately 120 patients, stratified as to the presence or absence of tophi, will be randomized in a 1:1:1 allocation ratio prior to Baseline to receive treatment with one of two dose levels of SEL-212 or placebo every 28 days for approximately 6 months in each trial (SEL-212/301 and SEL-212/302). The SEL-212 doses will differ as to the SEL-110.36 component. Participants will receive SEL-037 administered at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg via intravenous (IV) infusion immediately after receiving SEL-110.36 at a dose of either 0.1 mg/kg (SEL-212A) or 0.15 mg/kg (SEL-212B) via IV infusion. The placebo will consist of normal saline.

Upon completion of the 6-month double-blinded, placebo-controlled portion of the study, SEL-212/301 will continue in a blinded, placebo-controlled 6-month extension. This will provide up to 12 months of continuous treatment with SEL-212 in a placebo controlled fashion.

Subjects who complete both phases of the study will be offered enrollment in an open-label extension study for treatment with SEL-212 (SEL-212/303).

Efficacy assessments will be conducted at intervals that are appropriate to determine treatment effect with samples for the primary endpoint drawn during Treatment Period 6. Safety will be monitored throughout the study with an independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB).
