(0) Trial evaluates opportunity to improve outcomes based on emerging data that immunomodulation may offer clinical benefit
Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced the first patient has enrolled in the ADVANCE trial evaluating the concomitant use of KRYSTEXXA (pegloticase injection) with methotrexate for people with uncontrolled gout who were not able to achieve a complete response when previously treated with KRYSTEXXA monotherapy.
For people with chronic gout refractory to conventional therapies (uncontrolled gout), KRYSTEXXA offers a unique mechanism of action that converts urate into allantoin which can more easily and efficiently be excreted by the kidneys.

Increasingly, immunomodulating therapies, such as methotrexate, have been employed to help reduce the development of anti-drug antibodie
