How is the development of new gout treatments progressing in 2024?

Hello! 👋 Are you curious about the latest news on gout treatment? Recent research and new drug development for gout are really progressing actively. Today, let's take a look at the current status of new gout medication development in 2024.

In recent years, there have been many advancements in gout medication research. While existing drugs are effective, they have side effects or limitations for long-term treatment. Therefore, new drugs are continuously being developed.

Currently, JW Pharmaceutical is developing the gout treatment EpiminuRad! The initial results of the multinational Phase 3 clinical trial have been viewed positively, and it has been recommended to continue the clinical trials.

Epapaminurad, developed as an oral medication, is a uric acid excretion promoter that selectively inhibits hURAT1. It is a promising new drug candidate effective for hyperuricemia and gout diseases with abnormally high uric acid levels in the blood.

I hope we can accelerate the development of new global gout medications :)
