Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 months to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with confirmed or suspected states with resistance to vitamin D or parathyroid hormone (PTH)

Who may be able to join

  • Patients, from 2 months to 100 years of age, of either sex M or F, with vitamin D resistance, rickets, osteomalacia, pseudohypoparathyroidism, pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism, or suspicion of these or related disorders based upon the appropriateness of their problem to ongoing investigations.
  • Current investigations are focused principally upon the inclusion of subjects with, or suspected of having, hypocalcemia likely due to a resistance to parathyroid hormone, including subjects who have a diagnosis, or likely diagnosis, of pseudohypoparathyroidism or pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism.

Who cannot join

None listed.

About this study

Patients with confirmed or suspected states with resistance to vitamin D or parathyroid hormone (PTH) will be admitted for diagnosis, treatment review with suggestions for modifications to the current or new treatment and for inclusion in other protocols. These states include hypocalcemia, rickets, osteomalacia, pseudohypoparathyroidism. Resistance to a factor is manifested by deficient bioeffect despite high levels of the factor in blood. Patients will be tested with multiple indices of mineral metabolism to establish the diagnosis and examine the spectrum of the underlying disorder. The principal therapies will be combinations of calcium, phosphate, and a vitamin D analog. Selected patients will have localization and surgery to remove a tumor that causes renal wasting of phosphate. Patients will also be considered for entry into other research protocols.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. This study will provide information about problems relating to calcium in the blood, urine, and bones

    This is a natural history protocol, directed at diagnosing and managing the general clinical features in these patients. In addition the full clinical expression of certain rare disorders (target resistance to 1,25(OH)2D, pseudohypoparathyroidism, and pseudo- pseudohypoparathyroidism) will be characterized further. Some of these patients or their relatives will be entered into additional protocols, where appropriate for example, protocols to characterize the molecular causes of these disorders.

    Measured: take one to two weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypocalcemia and Pseudohypoparathyroidism, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

This study will provide information about problems relating to calcium in the blood, urine, and bones (time frame: take one to two weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00001242, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jan 2023.
