Study 102: Multiple Ascending Dose Study of ALLN-346 (Engineered Urate Oxidase)

Study Purpose

The purpose of this Phase I study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ALLN-346 in in normal healthy volunteers, in an ascending dose design. ALLN-346 is an (oral) enzyme that specifically degrades urate in the intestinal tract.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
