Study summary

FYU-981 or Febuxostat are administrated to hyperuricemia patients (underexcretion and mixed types) with or without gout for 14 weeks to compare the efficacy and safety of these drugs by the method of multicenter, randomized, double-blind, ascending dose regimen.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Serum urate level:

    • >= 7.0mg/dL in patients with gouty nodule or with history of gout, or >= 8.0mg/dL in patients with hypertension, diabetes or metabolic syndrome, or >= 9.0mg/dL
  • Disease type in the classification of hyperuricemia: Uric acid-underexcretion type or mixed type
  • Outpatients

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Gouty arthritis within 14 days before randomized allocation
  • Secondary hyperuricemia
  • : >= 8.4%
  • cardiac, hepatic, renal, hematologic or endocrine disease
  • Kidney calculi or clinically significant urinary calculi
  • : >= 100 IU/L or ALT: >= 100 IU/L
  • : \< 30 mL/min/1.73m\^2
  • Systolic blood pressure: >= 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure: >= 110 mmHg
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2018 to primary completion in Jun 2018, 4 months.

Of 21 phase 3 interventional studies under Gout, half reached primary completion within 20 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 25. This study's 4 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 24, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
