Study summary

The goal of this three arms, randomized, double-blind controlled interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of Amway uric acid lowering product improving hyperuricemia in patients aged 18 and 65 years old. The main question it aims to answer is:

- whether the serum uric acid level of patients with hyperuricemia could be significantly lowered after 3 months intervention with Amway uric acid lowering product

180 eligible participants will be enrolled in one study site and randomized to three study groups (two product group and one placebo group), who will consume the assigned products for 3 months and be arranged to 3 site visits. All relevant clinical data will be captured and recorded into CTMS (Clinical Trial Management System) for statistical analysis and reporting.

Researchers will compare the three study groups to conclude how Amway uric acid lowering product will improve hyperuricemia.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of Serum Uric Acid Level

    Change of Serum Uric Acid Level from baseline to 12 weeks, in unit of μmol/L, diagnosed as hyperuricemia if the level exceeds 420umol/L twice on different days

    Time frame: baseline, and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change of Serum Uric Acid Level

    Change of Serum Uric Acid Level from baseline to 6 weeks, in unit of μmol/L, diagnosed as hyperuricemia if the level exceeds 420umol/L twice on different days

    Time frame: baseline, and 6 weeks

  2. Fractional Excretion of Uric Acid (FEUA)

    Fractional Excretion of Uric Acid (FEUA), defined as the percentage of urate filtered by glomeruli that is excreted in urine, normal range 7\~12%. A FEUA value less than 7% considered low, indicating decreased renal excretion of uric acid. A FEUA value above 12% is considered high, suggesting increased renal excretion of uric acid.

    Time frame: baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks

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

Start is estimated for Oct 2023; primary completion for Feb 2024, 4 months later.

Of 24 interventional studies with no phase under Hyperuricemia, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 34. This study's planned 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 Oct 16, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
