Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-IL-1β humanized monoclonal antibody injection in Chinese participants with acute gout.

Read the detailed description

Study SSGJ-613-AG-III-01 is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, parallel-group study examining the effect of recombinant anti-IL-1β humanized monoclonal antibody injection versus compound betamethasone injection in Chinese adult patients with frequent flares of acute gouty arthritis who are contraindicated, intolerant, or lack efficacy to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/or colchicine. The entire treatment period is 48 weeks, consisting of a double-blind treatment period of 24 weeks and an open treatment period of 24 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

  • Must be 18 Years to 75 Years, both male and female.
  • ≤35 kg/m2.
  • Meeting the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2015 criteria for the classification of acute arthritis of primary gout.
  • History of ≥ 3 gout flares within the 12 months prior to study randomization.
  • Onset of current acute gout flare within 4 days prior to study screening.
  • Screening pain intensity of the Target Joint ≥ 50 mm on the 0-100 mm VAS.
  • , intolerant or lack efficacy to NSAIDs and/or colchicine.
  • Accept uric acid lowering treatment according to the requirements of the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Gout caused by radiotherapy/chemotherapy, lead, organ transplantation, tumors, etc.
  • Evidence/suspicion of infectious/septic arthritis, or other acute inflammatory arthritis.
  • Presence of severe renal function impairment.
  • Intolerance of subcutaneous and intramuscular injection.

  • within 8 weeks prior to the start of the study.
  • Use of forbidden therapy.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    SSGJ-613 200 mg

    SSGJ-613 200 mg subcutaneous (s.c) once. The s.c. injection could be administered into the abdomen or thigh. Randomized patients will receive one s.c. injection of SSGJ-613 and placebo matching compound betamethasone injection (0.9% sodium chloride) intramuscularly (i.m.) once, on Day 1. The i.m. injection is recommended to be administered deeply into the gluteal muscle.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Change in Pain Intensity in the Target Joint From Baseline to 72 Hours Post Dose as Measured on a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    The change in pain intensity from baseline to 72 hours post dose as measured on a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS): 0= no pain and 100= severe pain. Change from baseline = (post-baseline measurement - baseline).

    Time frame: 72 hours post-dose

  2. Time to First New Flare

    The Kaplan Meier method was used to estimate the median time and 95% CI of the first new flares within 12 weeks after the first administration of each group, as well as the event incidence and 95% CI at 12 weeks.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Change in Pain Intensity in the Target Joint From Baseline to 6, 24, 48 Hours and 7 Days Post Dose as Measured on a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    The change in pain intensity from baseline to 6, 12, 48 hours and 7 days post dose as measured on a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS): 0= no pain and 100= severe pain. Change from baseline = (post-baseline measurement - baseline).

    Time frame: At 6, 24, 48 hours and 7 Days post-dose

  2. The Time to At Least 50% Reduction of Baseline Pain Intensity in the Target Joint after study drug administration

    The time to at least 50% reduction in Pain intensity from baseline as measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for each treatment group, is estimated using the Kaplan Meier method. Participants scored their pain intensity in the target joint on a 0-100 mm VAS, ranging from no pain (0) to unbearable pain (100).

    Time frame: Up to 48 weeks

  3. The Time to Complete Pain Remission of Baseline Pain Intensity in the Target Joint after study drug administration

    The time to complete pain remission in Pain intensity from baseline as measured by a 5-point Likert scale for each treatment group, is estimated using the Kaplan Meier method. Participants scored their pain intensity in the target joint on a 5-point Likert scale: None, mild, moderate, severe, extremely severe.

    Time frame: Up to 48 weeks

  4. Percentage of Participants with Complete Pain Remission of the Target Joint within 12 weeks after study drug administration

    Participants scored their pain intensity in the target joint on a 5-point Likert scale: None, mild, moderate, severe, extremely severe.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  5. Time to first use of Rescue Medication

    The Kaplan Meier method was used to estimate the median time and 95% CI of the first use of Rescue Medication.

    Time frame: Within 7 days after the first administration, within 7 days after the last acute attack of gout during the double blind treatment period

  6. Percentage of Participants Taking Rescue Medication After Study Drug Administration and Categories and Dosages of Rescue Medication

    Time frame: 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks

  7. Likert scores for target joint pain

    Patients scored their pain intensity on a 5-point Likert scale (none, mild, moderate, severe, extreme).

    Time frame: 7 days, 12 weeks, 24 weeks

  8. Time to First New Flare

    The Kaplan Meier method was used to estimate the median time and 95% CI of the first new flares after the first administration of each group, as well as the event incidence and 95% CI.

    Time frame: 24 weeks, 48 weeks

  9. Percentage of Participants with at least 1 new gout flare

    Time frame: 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks

  10. Number of new gout flares

    Time frame: 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 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 Dec 2023; primary completion for Dec 2024, 12 months later.

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 planned 12 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 Dec 14, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
