About this trial

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of pegloticase 18 mg subcutaneously (SC) every two weeks with methotrexate (MTX) versus pegloticase 8 mg intravenously (IV) every two weeks with MTX on the response rate during Month 6, as measured by the sustained normalization of serum uric acid (sUA) to \< 6 mg/dL for at least 80% of the time during Month 6.
