CymaBay's gout drug meets main goal in mid-stage study - Reuters

(Reuters) - CymaBay Therapeutics Inc said its experimental lead drug met the main goal of reducing episodes of gout in a mid-stage study.



The company said the drug, arhalofenate, was shown to be safe and well tolerated.



Gout is a condition affecting joints and muscles when the body acts against a build-up of uric acid in the blood.
