What was measured

Patients scored their pain intensity in the joint most affected at baseline on a 0-100 mm VAS, ranging from no pain (0) to unbearable pain (100). Scores on the 100 mm linear scale were measured to the nearest millimeter from the left. The ANCOVA analysis included treatment group, Baseline VAS score, and body mass index (BMI) at Baseline as covariates.

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. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was applied to impute post dose measurements.

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.
