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 3 to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: All normal, healthy volunteer children between the ages of 3 and 18, inclusive, with no personal or first relative family history of urolithiasis. Both boys and girls will be enrolled with an effort to enroll an equal number of children of all ages after toilet training.

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy male and female children between the ages of 3 and 18, inclusive, of all races who are toilet trained and who can submit a 24-hour urine sample

Who cannot join

  • Active urinary tract infection
  • Known urologic anatomic abnormality
  • Personal or first-degree relative family history of urolithiasis or metabolic abnormality known to lead to urinary stone development
  • Renal insufficiency
  • Inability to collect a 24-hour urine specimen
  • Intake of medications known to alter the risk of stone development such as steroids or diuretics or vitamins or calcium supplementation exceeding recommended daily allowances
  • Adherence to restrictive diet for medical reasons
  • Inflammatory or absorptive bowel disease

About this study

Official title: Determining Normal Reference Ranges for Urinary Metabolites and Supersaturation Indices in the Pediatric Population

The reported normal values used in diagnosing and treating pediatric kidney stone formers are based on adult values or historic data from small studies. Urinary supersaturation indices which are now described in the adult stone literature as more sensitive predictors of stone composition, and precise predictors of response to therapy, are not established in children. The goals of this prospective study are to redefine normal values for pediatric urinary metabolites and supersaturation indices based on samples from a large number of healthy children and to identify if a difference in urinary supersaturations in children is protective.

    Measured: Assessed one time with normal urine

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine supersaturation indices in normal urine of the pediatric population

    Measured: Assessed one time in normal urine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 8 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 18 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Define normal reference ranges for urinary metabolites in the pediatric population (time frame: Assessed one time with normal urine). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Dec 2013.
