Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study in participants with elevated uric acid levels. This study will be conducted in approximately 64 adult male and female participants in the dose escalation phase.
Detailed Description
Participants will be assigned to 1 of 8 sequential dosing cohorts, each composed of 8 participants (6 active + 2 placebo) who will receive a single dose of PRX-115 or placebo by intravenous (IV) infusion.
