What was measured

Patients met definition of new flare if they had: * Flare in joint, not a previously affected joint (at baseline or during study) * Flare in joint previously affected (at baseline or during study) after previous flare in joint has resolved completely. Patients did not meet criterion of having new gout flare if: · Increasing/renewed gout pain in an affected joint before the flare has resolved completely.

Analysis population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of all patients as randomized in the core study who had taken at least one dose of study drug.

Groups in this outcome

Canakinumab 150 mg

Patients received 1 subcutaneous (sc) injection of canakinumab 150 mg and 1 intramuscular (im) injection of placebo to triamcinolone acetonide on Day 1. Patients could receive a re-dose of study drug on demand upon the occurrence of new flares, but re-dosing could not occur until 14 days had elapsed after the previous dose. Patients completing the 12 weeks core study were allowed to continue to be treated in another 12 weeks extension study for any new gout flare on demand with the same treatment as assigned in the core study.

Triamcinolone Acetonide 40 mg

Patients received 1 intramuscular (im) injection of triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg and 1 subcutaneous (sc) injection of placebo to canakinumab on Day 1. Patients could receive a re-dose of study drug on demand upon the occurrence of new flares, but re-dosing could not occur until 14 days had elapsed after the previous dose. Patients completing the 12 weeks core study were allowed to continue to be treated in another 12 weeks extension study for any new gout flare on demand with the same treatment as assigned in the core study.
