Abstract
Many patients with gouty arthritis experience frequent flares and have comorbidities that may limit their anti-inflammatory treatment options for acute flare management. For patients with contraindications to both NSAIDs and/or colchicine, treatment options are particularly limited, and there is an unmet medical need in this subgroup of patients.
