Secondary:

To compare the efficacy and safety of Rasburicase versus allopurinol in Chinese patients stratified according to disease (leukemia or lymphoma ).

2Active comparator100mg tablets, administered orally, according to standard medical practice

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean plasma uric acid AUC0-96

    Measured: 0hour, 4hour, 12 hour and q12h thereafter

  2. Median duration of therapy until control of plasma uric acid values to <8.0 mg/dL (only in patients hyperuricemic immediately prior to dosing)

    Measured: From administration of drug up to end of study

  3. Biochemistry, hematology, vital signs, physical examination, and adverse events

    Measured: From administration of drug up to end of study

  4. Proportion of patients developing hypertension requiring therapy

    Measured: From administration of drug up to end of study

  5. Assays for circulating antibodies

    Measured: From administration of drug up to end of study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage reduction of plasma uric acid concentrations at T4h

    Measured: From administration of drug up to end of study

  2. Mean plasma uric acid concentrations

    Measured: At various timepoints

  3. Median duration of therapy until control of plasma uric acid values to <8.0 mg/dL

    Measured: From administration of drug up to end of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rasburicase and Allopurinol in people with Hyperuricemia, run by Sanofi at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: the patient enrollment is too difficult). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean plasma uric acid AUC0-96 (time frame: 0hour, 4hour, 12 hour and q12h thereafter). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2014.
