Abstract Background Dotinurad, a novel selective urate reabsorption inhibitor (SURI), increases urinary uric acid excretion. The aim of this study is to examine the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of dotinurad according to the type of hyperuricemia, with or without concomitant use of xanthine oxidase inhibitor, in uric acid “overproduction type” patients. Methods This open-label clinical pharmacology study was conducted in a hospital. Dotinurad 1 mg was administered for 7 days to hyperuricemic patients with uric acid “overproduction type” (overproduction group, n = 6; and combination group, n = 6) and uric acid “underexcretion type” (underexcretion group, n = 6). In the combination group, topiroxostat 80 mg was used concomitantly. Results No significant differences were observed in pharmacokinetics and safety between overproduction group and underexcretion group, and the percent change in serum uric acid level and the amount of urinary uric acid excretion after administration were comparable. In “overproduction type” patients of combination group, the percent change in serum uric acid level significantly increased and the amount of urinary uric acid excretion significantly decreased compared to those of overproduction group. No clinically meaningful differences were observed in safety between the overproduction group and the combination group. Conclusion In inpatients, differences in hyperuricemic type did not significantly influence the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of dotinurad. Moreover, in “overproduction type”, the coadministration of dotinurad and topiroxostat had an add-on serum uric acid lowering effect and suppressed urinary uric acid excretion.

Abstract Background Dotinurad, a novel selective urate reabsorption inhibitor (SURI) that has a future potential for the treatment of hyperuricemia, reduces serum uric acid levels by selectively inhibiting urate transporter 1 (URAT1). We evaluated the efficacy and safety of dotinurad in hyperuricemic Japanese patients with or without gout. Methods The study design was an exploratory, early phase 2 study that ran for 8 weeks. It was a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study, and performed in a dose escalation manner. There were four study arms consisting of dotinurad 1, 2, or 4 mg, and placebo. The primary endpoint was the percent change in serum uric acid level from the baseline to the final visit. The secondary endpoint was the percentage of patients achieving a serum uric acid level ≤ 6.0 mg/dL at the final visit. Results A total of 80 hyperuricemic patients with or without gout were enrolled and randomly assigned to the dotinurad or placebo groups. The mean percent change in serum uric acid level from the baseline to the final visit in the dotinurad 1, 2, 4 mg, and placebo groups was 37.03%, 50.91%, 64.37%, and 0.85%, respectively. The percentages of patients achieving a serum uric acid level ≤ 6.0 mg/dL at the final visit in each group were 75.0%, 89.5%, 95.2%, and none, respectively. The incidence of adverse events was comparable among all groups. Conclusion Dotinurad has a substantial serum uric acid lowering effect in patients with hyperuricemia. No serious adverse event was found. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02344862

Abstract Background Dotinurad, a novel selective urate reabsorption inhibitor (SURI), reduces serum uric acid levels by selectively inhibiting urate transporter 1 (URAT1) for the treatment of hyperuricemia with or without gout. We confirmed the serum uric acid lowering effect and safety of dotinurad. Methods This was a confirmatory, 12-week, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose escalation, late phase 2 study. The study arms were dotinurad 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 mg and placebo. The primary endpoint was the percent change in serum uric acid level from the baseline to the final visit. The secondary endpoint was the percentage of patients achieving a serum uric acid level ≤ 6.0 mg/dL at the final visit. Results The study drugs were administered to 200 Japanese hyperuricemic patients with or without gout. The mean percent change in serum uric acid level from the baseline to the final visit in the dotinurad 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg groups and the placebo group was 21.81%, 33.77%, 42.66%, 61.09%, and − 2.83%, respectively. The percentage of patients achieving a serum uric acid level ≤ 6.0 mg/dL at the final visit in each group was 23.1%, 65.9%, 74.4%, 100%, and none, respectively. Regarding safety, the incidence of adverse events did not increase with dose escalation in the dotinurad groups. No significant differences were observed in the incidence of gouty arthritis in each group. Conclusion The serum uric acid lowering effect and safety of dotinurad were confirmed in hyperuricemic patients with or without gout. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02416167

Abstract Background Dotinurad is a selective urate reabsorption inhibitor (SURI), which selectively inhibits URAT1 to lower serum uric acid levels in patients with hyperuricemia. Herein, the effects of dotinurad were compared among patient groups with different stages of renal dysfunction. Methods Patient data from four clinical trials were pooled and divided into four groups according to the stage of renal dysfunction to compare the effects of dotinurad at different stages. The grouping (stages G1–G3b) was based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of the patients. In addition, patient data from a long-term study (34 or 58 weeks) were evaluated in the same manner. Results In the pooled analysis, the percentage of patients achieving a serum uric acid level of ≤ 6.0 mg/dL was 64.7–100.0% at a dose of 2 or 4 mg. In the long-term analysis, the percentage of patients achieving a serum uric acid level of ≤ 6.0 mg/dL was 60.0–100.0% at a dose of 2 or 4 mg. Although the outcomes in stage G3b were worse due to higher baseline serum uric acid levels, satisfactory outcomes were observed in all stages. Even in stages G3a and G3b, when renal function declined, the eGFR remained constant throughout the dose period. Conclusion The efficacy of dotinurad was confirmed in hyperuricemic patients with normal renal function (stage G1) and mild to moderate renal dysfunction (stage G2–G3b). Dotinurad was found to be effective in the treatment of hyperuricemia in patients with mild to moderate renal dysfunction.

Background: To Study Serum Uric Acid level elevation in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Methods: 50 Patients diagnosed as having Pre-eclampsia with age between 18-37 years and 50 controls with similar age group. Results: The mean serum uric acid level in control group was 3.41 ± 0.62 and in patient 7.01 ± 0.58 which was statistically significant (p =0.001). Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels were significantly higher in preeclampsia could be a useful indicator of fetal complication in preeclampsia patients. Keywords: serum uric acid, preeclampsia, laboratory.

AbstractWe performed a retrospective cohort study of 19,237 individuals who underwent at least three health screenings with follow-up periods of over 5 years to find a routinely checked serum marker that predicts lung function decline. Using linear regression models to analyze associations between the rate of decline in the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and the level of 10 serum markers (calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, total cholesterol, total protein, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, and C-reactive protein) measured at two different times (at the first and third health screenings), we found that an increased uric acid level was significantly associated with an accelerated FEV1 decline (P = 0.0014 and P = 0.037, respectively) and reduced FEV1 predicted % (P = 0.0074 and P = 8.64 × 10–7, respectively) at both visits only in non-smoking individuals. In addition, we confirmed that accelerated forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC ratio declines were observed in non-smoking individuals with increased serum uric acid levels using linear mixed models. The serum uric acid level thus potentially predicts an acceleration in lung function decline in a non-smoking general population.
