Official title
Denosumab In Addition To Intense Urate-Lowering Therapy for Bone Erosions in Gout: A Pilot Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Bone erosions are a common manifestation and feature of structural damage in severe/chronic tophaceous gout. Management of this destructive and often debilitating gout complication has focused exclusively on urate-lowering therapy (ULT) to reduce frequency of gout attacks, but little attention has been given to prevention or reversal of gout related bone erosions and other structural damage to bone caused by gout. Since there is no known effective treatment to attenuate or improve structural damage caused by gout, we propose a pilot, controlled, proof-of-concept study in which denosumab, an FDA approved medication for the treatment of bone loss, will be added to standard ULT in 20 patients with erosive gout.
