Participant Flow

Overall, 82 patients from 20 clinical sites participated in the study between 19-October-2011 to 27-August-2012.

Participants were assessed at an initial screening visit within 3 to 14 days before the baseline visit. At the baseline visit, eligible participants were then assessed, randomized, trained on daily dosing \& the daily dosing/flare diary, and initiated on allopurinol and study drug (colchicine or placebo).
