Inclusion criteria

Documented history of gout diagnosis in the target joint or bursa; or a documented history of 2 or more gout flares in the previous 18 months\n- Confirmation of a gout flare in the target joint that began within 96 hours prior to the Baseline Visit/Study Day 1, based on the presence (at the Baseline Visit/Study Day 1) of subject-reported target joint pain at rest of ≥ 50 mm on a 0 to 100-mm VAS and at least two of the following criteria in the target joint: a.
