  • *Values are mean (SD) unless otherwise specified.

  • †Last sUA value recorded before the first dose of blinded lesinurad or placebo.

  • ‡Based on Cockcroft–Gault formula using ideal body weight; using actual weight, 79%–95% of patients (across groups) had normal renal function.

  • BMI, body mass index; CrCl, creatinine clearance; ITT, intention-to-treat; sUA, serum urate.
