Gout presents as intermittent acute painful and debilitating gout flares. High serum uric acid levels lead to the deposition of urate crystals in and around the joints, most commonly the big toe (also called podagra) and other peripheral joints. An acute gout flare causes extreme pain and inflammation of the afflicted joints. It initially presents as a monoarticular condition but can affect several joints as the disease progresses. Gout flares typically take 7-10 days to resolve. Currently, the inflammation and pain associated with acute gout flares are treated anti-inflammatories, including non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, corticosteroids, and adrenocorticotropic hormone. However these drugs are limited in efficacy, contraindicated for some patients and may take more than 24 hours to relieve gout symptoms (e.g. colchicine). DYV700 will be developed to reduce the pain associated with acute gout flares. DYV700 is applied topically and utilizes a proprietary drug delivery system to deliver it's active ingredients.
