Sponsor's own description
SAVE-Care (Sodium Glucose Cotransporter-2 inhibitors \[SGLT2i\] As Novel Gout Care) Trial is a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial (RCT) designed to assess the effect of empagliflozin on serum urate \[SU\] levels of gout patients, as well as levels of highly-sensitivity C-reactive protein \[hsCRP\] and interleukin 6 \[IL-6\], and estimate gout flares over 3 months, in order to develop a full-scale RCT of clinical endpoints to directly inform gout care guidelines.
