Tart Cherry Citrate Effervescent Tablet for Urate-Lowering Therapy in Participants With Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia
Sponsor: Beijing Zhecheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether tart cherry citrate effervescent tablets can lower uric acid levels in people with asymptomatic hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels without gout symptoms). The main question it aims to answer is: Does taking tart cherry citrate effervescent tablets lower uric acid levels more effectively than taking a placebo (inactive) tablet, when both groups also receive lifestyle guidance? Researchers will compare two groups of participants. Both groups will receive lifestyle guidance (advice on diet and exercise). In addition: * One group will take the tart cherry citrate effervescent tablets. * The other group will take a placebo effervescent tablet (looks and tastes the same but contains no active ingredient). The study will last 24 weeks. Participants will: * Take the assigned effervescent tablet twice daily for 24 weeks * Follow lifestyle guidance for diet and exercise * Attend scheduled clinic visits for checkups and tests * Provide blood and urine samples for testing

Daily total water intake is controlled at 2000-2500 mL. The tablet is taken as an adjunct to lifestyle guidance.
Placebo Control Group
Matching placebo effervescent tablet identical in appearance, taste, and preparation to the tart cherry citrate effervescent tablet but containing no active ingredients. Participants take 4.0 g (one tablet) dissolved in 200-250 mL of water twice daily (morning and evening), regardless of meals. Daily total water intake is controlled at 2000-2500 mL.
