Key Takeaways

• The author estimates that in 2016, there were 34.0 million prevalent cases of gout in people aged 15 years and older worldwide, and forecasts that number to increase to 37.9 million prevalent cases by 2025.
• All of the industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for gout are in Phase II in the US. These therapies focus on targets such as uric acid, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma, the interleukin (IL)-1 receptor, and the immune system/reactive oxygen species/free radicals. The majority of pipeline drugs are administered via the oral route, with the remainder being intravenous and subcutaneous formulations.

• The exclusive licensing agreement in 2016 between Ironwood and AstraZeneca worth $265m for the US rights to Zurampic(lesinurad) and the fixed-dose combination of lesinurad and allopurinol was the largest deal during the 2012-17 period.
