At the end of Friday’s trade, AstraZeneca plc (ADR) (NYSE:AZN)‘s shares surged 2.97% to $66.47.
AstraZeneca plc (ADR) (AZN) presented at the European League Against Rheumatism Annual Congress (EULAR 2015) in Rome, results of its Phase III double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial CRYSTAL, investigating the potential of lesinurad, a selective uric acid re-absorption inhibitor (SURI), when used in combination with the xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) febuxostat. The results demonstrated that lesinurad in combination with febuxostat lowered serum uric acid (sUA) levels and reduced tophus area to a greater extent than febuxostat alone. Lesinurad is an investigational agent that inhibits the uric acid transporter URAT1 in the kidney, increasing uric acid excretion and thereby lowering sUA. Lesinurad works in combination with febuxostat to provide a dual mechanism of action which enhances excretion and decreases production of uric acid.
