Time frame
For 7 days after the first dose for the baseline flare and 7 days post-dose for the last post-baseline flare that occurred up until the end of the first extension study (24 weeks).

What was measured

Participants who had difficulty in tolerating their pain were allowed to take rescue medication after the 6-hour post-dose pain assessments as follows: * Acetaminophen (paracetamol) 500 mg and/ or codeine 30 mg as required. A maximum of 1 g/dose or 3 g/day of acetaminophen and 30 mg/ dose or 180 mg/day of codeine was allowed. * If they had insufficient pain relief, participants were allowed to take a maximum of 30 mg of oral prednisolone as required per day for 2 days followed by up to 20 mg of prednisolone as required subsequent days within 7 days of a gout flare. Use of these treatments during the first 7 days of a gout flare was recorded as rescue medication.

Analysis population: For the Baseline flare the population analyzed consisted of the Full Analysis Set (FAS). For the last post-baseline flare the population analyzed consisted of patients re-treated for at least one new flare.

Groups in this outcome

Canakinumab 150 mg

Participants received 1 subcutaneous (sc) injection of canakinumab 150 mg and 1 intramuscular (im) injection of placebo to triamcinolone acetonide on Day 1. Participants 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. In the first extension study participants completing the 12 week core study could continue to be treated on demand with the same treatment for another 12 weeks for any new gout flare.

Triamcinolone Acetonide 40 mg

Participants received 1 intramuscular injection of triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg and 1 sc injection of placebo to canakinumab on Day 1. Participants 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. In the first extension study participants completing the 12 week core study could continue to be treated on demand with the same treatment for another 12 weeks for any new gout flare.
