Frequently asked questions about Arhalofenate

What is Arhalofenate used for?

Arhalofenate is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. It is designed to lower serum uric acid levels and prevent gout flares. As of the available data, it is in Phase 2 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes Arhalofenate?

Arhalofenate is being developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GILD. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for gout and hyperuricemia, and it remains investigational.

What phase is Arhalofenate in?

Arhalofenate is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed three Phase 2 trials, with no active trials currently ongoing. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval for any indication.

What clinical trials has Arhalofenate been in?

Arhalofenate has been studied in three completed Phase 2 trials. These include NCT01336686, evaluating its safety and efficacy in hyperuricemia with gout; NCT01399008, testing it in combination with allopurinol in gout patients; and NCT02063997, assessing its effect on preventing flares and reducing serum uric acid in gout.

Is Arhalofenate the same as MBX-102?

Yes, Arhalofenate is also known as MBX-102. Clinical trial records refer to the drug by both names, with early studies using the MBX-102 designation. This alternative name appears in trials such as NCT01336686 and NCT01399008.
