Inclusion Criteria
  • Acute gouty arthritis meeting the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for acute arthritis of primary gout;
  • Onset of pain from an acute gouty arthritis attack within 48 hours prior to Screening/Baseline (Visit 1);
  • A rating of moderate, severe, or extreme (2, 3, or 4, respectively) on the Patient's assessment of pain intensity in the index joint (5-point scale:0-4) at Screening/Baseline.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Diagnosis of any other type of arthritis including those types suspected of being infectious in origin in the index joint or presence of any acute trauma of the index joint. Patients with osteoarthritis will be included as long as it is mild or moderate (according to investigator's criteria) and it does not affect the index joint;

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Day 2 in Patient's Assessment of Pain IntensityBaseline and Day 2

The Patient's Pain Intensity in the Index Joint for the prior 24 hours was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My pain over the past 24 hours has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), or Extreme (4).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Warmth Present According to Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on Day 5, Day 9, and Day 14Baseline, Day 5, Day 9 and Day 14

Warmth was assessed by the physician as present or absent.

Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity on Day 1Baseline, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours postdose Day 1, Day 2 (24 hours and 32 hours post first dose)

The patient's assessment of pain was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: my pain at this time is none (0), mild (1), moderate, (2), severe (3), and extreme (4).

Number of Participants With Pre-specified Gastrointestinal (GI) Adverse EventsBaseline to Day 14/Early Termination

The gastrointestinal tolerability was measured by incidence of moderate or severe GI adverse events (nausea, abdominal pain and dyspepsia)

Change From Baseline in Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on Days 5, 9, and 14/Early Termination: TendernessBaseline, Day 5, Day 9, and Day 14/Early Termination

Tenderness was assessed on the basis of palpation or passive motion using a 4 point scale with the following ratings: the patient had no tenderness (0), the patient complained of pain (1), the patient complained of pain and winced (2) and the patient complained of pain, winced, and withdrew (3).

Change From Baseline in Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on Days 5, 9, and 14/Early Termination: SwellingBaseline, Days 5, 9 and 14/Early Termination

Swelling was assessed using a 4 point scale with the following ratings: none (0), palpable (1), visible (2), and bulging beyond joint margins (3)

Change From Baseline in Time Weighted Average of Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity Over 8, 12, and 24 HoursBaseline, 8, 12, and 24 hours post first dose

Time weighted average over 8 (TWA-8), 12 (TWA-12) and 24 (TWA-24) hours post first dose of study medication on Day 1. Positive TWA values represent a reduction in pain intensity

Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain IntensityBaseline, Day 2 to Day 13

The Patient's assessment of pain for the prior 24 hours was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My pain over the past 24 hours has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate, (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4).

Number of Participants With ≥30% and ≥50% Reduction From Baseline to Day 2 in Patient's Assessment of Pain IntensityBaseline, Day 2

The Patient's assessment of pain was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My pain over the past 24 hours has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate, (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4).

Participants Global Evaluation of Study Medication ScoreDay 9

The participant rated the study medication that they received during the study by completing the following question:

How would you rate the study medication you received for pain? 4=Excellent, 3=Good, 2=Fair, 1=Poor

Participant's Assessment of Pain Intensity for the Average Pain Intensity at BaselineBaseline

The participant's assessment of pain was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My pain has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate, (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4).

Number of Participants With Redness Present According to Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on Day 5, Day 9, and Day 14/Early TerminationBaseline, Day 5, Day 9 and Day 14/Early Termination

Redness was assessed by the physician as present or absent.

Percentage Change From Baseline in the Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity for the Average Pain Intensity on Days 2-4, Days 2-8 and Days 2-13Baseline to Day 13

The participant's assessment of pain was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My change in pain has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate, (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). Average change over days was calculated by taking the change from Baseline to the average Pain Intensity score over the days for each patient.

Number of Participants With Withdrawal From Treatment Due to Lack of EfficacyDay 1 to Day 8

Withdrawal due to lack of efficacy was assessed from Days 1 to 8

Number of Participants With Moderate or Severe Central Nervous System (CNS) Adverse EventsBaseline to Day 14/Early Termination

The pre-specfied CNS AEs were headache, nausea, dizziness, vertigo, vomiting and somnolence.
