HP501 is a highly selective renal urate transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitor used for treating hyperuricemia. This study aimed to evaluate the tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of HP501 in male Chinese patients. Patients with hyperuricemia were sequentially assigned to receive oral doses of HP501 (30, 50, 60, 90, and 120 mg) as a single dose on Day 1 and as once-daily doses from Days 4 to 13. Safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data were collected. Multiple oral doses of HP501 were well-tolerated in all the cohorts. The most common adverse events (≥ 10% of patients) of any grade regardless of drug relationship were gout flare (14 patients, 25.93%), diarrhea (12 patients, 22.22%), elevated ALT (8 patients, 14.81%), hypertriglyceridemia (7 patients, 12.96%), dry mouth (7 patients, 12.96%) and oral ulcer (7 patients, 12.96%). All adverse events were mild or moderate. The CClinical Trial registration: No. CTR20212259 (
