Gout (tophaceous, severe debilitating, chronic) - pegloticase - NICE TAG TA291

1.1 Pegloticase is not recommended within its marketing authorisation, that is, for treating severe debilitating chronic tophaceous gout in adults who may also have erosive joint involvement and in whom xanthine oxidase inhibitors at the maximum medically appropriate dose have failed to normalise serum uric acid, or for whom these medicines are contraindicated.

1.2 People currently receiving pegloticase that is not recommended according to 1.1 should be able to continue treatment until they and their clinician consider it appropriate to stop.
