Dapagliflozin Added to Verinurad Plus Febuxostat Further Reduces Serum Uric Acid in Hyperuricemia: The QUARTZ Study
CONTEXT: Combining a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) and a urate transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitor may enhance serum uric acid (sUA) lowering. However, concerns exist regarding high urinary UA (uUA) excretion rates and subsequent crystallization in rena...

Sumario: | CONTEXT: Combining a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) and a urate transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitor may enhance serum uric acid (sUA) lowering. However, concerns exist regarding high urinary UA (uUA) excretion rates and subsequent crystallization in renal tubules. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether dapagliflozin added to verinurad, a selective URAT1 inhibitor, and febuxostat, an XOI, increases uUA excretion. DESIGN: Randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-way crossover study (NCT03316131). PATIENTS: Adults with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. INTERVENTIONS: Subjects (N = 36) were randomized to oral once-daily 9 mg verinurad plus 80 mg febuxostat plus 10 mg dapagliflozin for 7 days and 7 days of oral once-daily 9 mg verinurad plus 80 mg febuxostat plus placebo with an intervening 7- to 21-day washout period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Difference in peak uUA excretion between groups from baseline to day 7. Secondary outcomes included changes in sUA levels and 24-h uUA excretion. RESULTS: Both regimens lowered mean peak uUA excretion (least squares mean changes from baseline: −12.9 mg/h [95% confidence interval (CI): −21.0 to −4.7], dapagliflozin; −13.2 mg/h [95% CI −21.3 to –5.0], placebo). sUA concentrations were lower with dapagliflozin (mean treatment difference –62.3 µmol/L [95% CI −82.8 to −41.8]). Dapagliflozin did not impact verinurad pharmacokinetics, its main metabolites, or febuxostat or fasting plasma glucose levels vs verinurad plus febuxostat. There were no clinically relevant changes in safety parameters. CONCLUSIONS: Dapagliflozin further reduced sUA without influencing uUA excretion, suggesting that its combination with verinurad and febuxostat at the doses tested does not adversely affect kidney function.
