About this study
Official title: An Exploratory Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effect of a Probiotic-Uricase Complex Preparation on Serum Uric Acid Reduction and Its Regulation of Gut Microbiota Composition and Uric Acid-Related Metabolic Profiles in Patients With Hyperuricemia
This single-center, open-label, two-arm interventional study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a probiotic-uricase complex preparation in patients with hyperuricemia. Participants aged 18 to 60 years with hyperuricemia will be assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive the probiotic-uricase complex preparation during a 2-week treatment period according to the study protocol in addition to conventional management, while participants in the control group will receive conventional management alone. Blood, urine, and fecal samples will be collected at baseline and during follow-up. The primary goal is to assess the change in serum uric acid from baseline after treatment. Secondary assessments include changes in uric acid-related metabolites in blood, urine, and feces, alterations in gut microbiota composition based on metagenomic analysis, and safety outcomes including laboratory parameters and adverse events. This study will explore whether the probiotic-uricase complex may serve as a safe and effective oral intervention for improving uric acid metabolism in patients with hyperuricemia.
Read the detailed description
This is a single-center, open-label, two-arm interventional clinical study in adults with hyperuricemia. Participants aged 18 to 60 years who meet the study criteria and provide informed consent will be enrolled. The planned sample size is 45 participants, including 30 participants in the intervention group and 15 participants in the control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive the probiotic-uricase complex preparation during a 2-week treatment period according to the study protocol in addition to conventional management, while participants in the control group will receive conventional management alone. Concomitant use of medications or products that may substantially affect gut microbiota or the study intervention, such as antibiotics, immunosuppressive agents, or other microbiome-targeted products, will be restricted according to the protocol. The study consists of a 2-week treatment period followed by a 2-week follow-up period, with assessments performed at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Clinical and laboratory evaluations will include blood, urine, and fecal sample collection for assessment of uric acid metabolism, related metabolites, gut microbiota composition, and safety parameters. Serum uric acid will be monitored longitudinally to evaluate changes from baseline during treatment and post-treatment follow-up. The primary goal is to assess the effect of the probiotic-uricase complex preparation on serum uric acid in patients with hyperuricemia. Secondary goals are to evaluate changes in uric acid-related metabolites in blood, urine, and feces, explore alterations in gut microbiota composition and uric acid metabolism-related functional profiles based on fecal metagenomic analysis, and assess safety through laboratory testing and adverse event monitoring throughout the study. The results of this study may provide clinical evidence for the use of a probiotic-uricase complex preparation as a novel oral strategy to improve uric acid metabolism in patients with hyperuricemia.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Probiotic-uricase complex preparationDietary supplement
Participants receive the probiotic-uricase complex preparation capsule orally. Each participant takes it for 2 weeks. Adherence is monitored through capsule counts and diaries. Clinical and biological evaluations will include blood, urine, and fecal sample collection for assessment of uric acid metabolism, related metabolites, gut microbiota composition, and safety parameters. Serum uric acid will be monitored longitudinally to evaluate changes from baseline during treatment and post-treatment follow-up.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Probiotic-uricase complex plus conventional management | Experimental | Participants in the intervention group will receive the probiotic-uricase complex preparation during a 2-week treatment period in addition to conventional management. A 2-week follow-up period will follow treatment, with assessments at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Participants maintain their usual diet and avoid additional probiotics or antibiotics. Adherence is monitored through capsule counts and diaries. Clinical and biological evaluations will include blood, urine, and fecal sample collection for assessment of uric acid metabolism, related metabolites, gut microbiota composition, and safety parameters. Serum uric acid will be monitored longitudinally to evaluate changes from baseline during treatment and post-treatment follow-up. Receives: Dietary Supplement: Probiotic-uricase complex preparation |
| Conventional management alone | No intervention | Participants will receive conventional management alone without the probiotic-uricase complex preparation. Assessments will be conducted at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Participants maintain their usual diet and avoid additional probiotics or antibiotics. Clinical and biological evaluations will include blood, urine, and fecal sample collection for assessment of uric acid metabolism, related metabolites, gut microbiota composition, and safety parameters. Serum uric acid will be monitored longitudinally to evaluate changes from baseline during treatment and post-treatment follow-up. |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Probiotic-uricase complex preparation in people with Hyperuricemia, Gout, run by Maanshan Shiqiye Hospital.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in serum uric acid from baseline (time frame: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 May 2026.
