A Phase 2/3 interventional study of Dapansutrile and Placebo Tablet in Acute Gout Flare, Gout Attack and Gout Flare, sponsored by Olatec Therapeutics, Inc.. Recruiting at 40 sites in 5 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-11.
Sponsored by Olatec Therapeutics, Inc. · Phase 2/3, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of dapansutrile (OLT1177®) tablets in subjects with an acute gout flare.
This is a multi-center Phase 2/3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group safety and efficacy study of dapansutrile (OLT1177®), a specific NLRP3 inhibitor, conducted in subjects with acute gout flare. Up to 300 eligible subjects will be randomized 2:1 to one of two treatment arms to receive either dapansutrile tablets or matching placebo twice daily for 7 days. An initial loading dose on Study Day 1 will be followed by a twice daily maintenance dosing regimen.
Subjects presenting with acute gout flare that began within 96 hours prior to the Baseline/Day 1 visit will be evaluated for eligibility. Subjects who are determined to be eligible will be randomized into either an active treatment arm (2/3 of the subjects enrolled) or the placebo arm (1/3 of the subjects enrolled).
Eligible subjects who are randomized into the study will also be provided with rescue medication at the Baseline/Day 1 Visit. No other pain medications, anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., steroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), or treatments for gout flare are allowed during the Treatment Period.
During the Treatment Period, subjects will return to the clinic trial site on Day 4 and, following the 7-day Treatment Period, subjects will return to the clinical trial site on Day 8, and then Day 15 with safety data collected through Day 36.

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.
A) Diagnosis of gout must be confirmed in the target joint as indicated by either the presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals by microscopic evaluation of synovial fluid from the target joint or bursa OR by imaging evidence of urate deposition in the target joint or bursa at the Screening/Baseline Visit/Study Day 1, or
B) Documented history in the target joint or bursa ; or documented history of 2 or more gout flares in the previous 18 months
Exclusion Criteria:
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.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
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.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

An initial loading dose of 2000 mg dapansutrile on Day 1 followed by a maintenance regimen of 1000 mg dapansutrile twice daily starting 12 hours later through the second dose on Day 7, inclusive.
Drug: Dapansutrile
An initial loading dose of matching placebo (to mimic dapansutrile dosing) on Day 1 followed by a maintenance regimen of matching placebo twice daily starting 12 hours later through the second dose on Day 7, inclusive.
Other: Placebo Tablet
An initial loading dose of 2000 mg dapansutrile on Day 1 followed by a maintenance regimen of 1000 mg dapansutrile twice daily starting 12 hours later through the second dose on Day 7, inclusive.
Also known as: OLT1177
An initial loading dose of matching placebo (to mimic dapansutrile dosing) on Day 1 followed by a maintenance regimen of matching placebo twice daily starting 12 hours later through the second dose on Day 7, inclusive.
To evaluate the efficacy of dapansutrile as an acute gout flare treatment compared to placebo in reducing joint pain at 72 hours post initial loading dose of IMP
Change from baseline in the subject-assessed pain intensity score evaluated on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) in the target joint at 72 hours post initial loading dose for dapansutrile compared to placebo. The visual analog scale has anchors of 0 indicating no pain and 100 indicating the worst pain.
Time frame: 72 hours
