For instance, in May 2025, ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced a Phase 4 clinical trial at Massachusetts General Hospital, which evaluates the safety profile and treatment effectiveness of two dose levels (40 USP units and 80 USP units) of Purified Cortrophin Gel (repository corticotropin injection USP) (Cortrophin Gel) for acute gout flare management. The medical indication for Cortrophin Gel includes brief use as an auxiliary treatment during acute gouty arthritis attacks. Patients should avoid using Cortrophin Gel through intravenous routes.

North America Dominates the Gout Therapeutic Market

The North America gout therapeutic market leads because of various factors, which include high gout rates, together with modern healthcare systems and substantial R&D funding. The United States, together with Canada, forms the main gout patient base because obesity, combined with unhealthy eating and growing age populations, leads to increased gout cases. The strong pharmaceutical industry, together with a solid regulatory system, enables speedy approval and widespread use of new medical treatments. The healthcare system delivers modern treatments to numerous patients while widespread gout awareness programs fuel market growth. Through insurance and reimbursement systems, patients receive affordable treatment options that become accessible to them. North America maintains its position as the leading gout therapeutic market because fresh biological and urate-lowering therapies entered the market while clinical trials continue.

Impact of U.S. Tariffs on the Global Gout Therapeutics Market

The U.S. tariff effects on the global gout therapeutics market are due to instability through elevated prices and disrupted supply chain operations. Generic gout medications, including allopurinol and febuxostat, utilize active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) provided from China and India. These manufacturers of gout therapeutics will be subject to major price increases if tariffs are introduced on APIs. In turn, this will likely lead to countrywide shortages (no medicine at any price), increased treatment costs, and limited access for uninsured populations, including ancillary medications that treat other annual curative care costs, mostly statins and diuretics. Eventually, supply chains will have to change manufacturers, but that is a long way off, especially considering a market that is likely already saturated and the costs of changing their supply chain limit affordability and pressure healthcare systems and access. The long-term impact depends on tariff exemptions and how quickly supply chains adapt to new trade policies.
