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. Subject-reported flare b. Subject-reported warm joint c. Subject-reported swollen joint\n- Acceptable overall medical condition to safely participate in the study and complete all study procedures (with specific regard to cardiovascular, renal, and hepatic conditions), in the opinion of the Investigator\n- Able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to initiation of any studyrelated procedures\n- Ability, in the opinion of the Investigator, to understand and comply with all the requirements of the study, which includes understanding restrictions regarding the use of Rescue Medication, Escape Medication and other prohibited medications, including other pain medications"}
