Trial summary

Introduction: Based on our experience with calcitonin as an FGF-23 suppressive agent in a patient with an FGF-23 producing tumor we hypothesize that calcitonin may be a physiologically important regulator of FGF-23 production and secretion in healthy humans. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of FGF-23 Suppressibility by Calcitonin in Healthy Men - Pilot Study

Introduction:

Based on our experience with calcitonin as an FGF-23 suppressive agent in a patient with an FGF-23 producing tumor we hypothesize that calcitonin may be a physiologically important regulator of FGF-23 production and secretion in healthy humans.

Aim:

In this study we wish to examine the FGF-23 suppressive effects of calcitonin in healthy men.

Study Design:

placebo-controlled, cross-over study

Method:

  • All twelve subjects are examined on two occasions, once after exposure to placebo 1 ml NaCl 0.9% subcutaneously, and once following calcitonin 200 IU/ml subcutaneously
  • On both occasions frequent bloodsampling will take place, out an indwelling catheter in de forearm vein.
  • Sampling times: -15, 0, 60, 120, 240, 360, and 480 minutes
  • Mealtimes: Calcium and Phosphate intake standardized on both occasions
  • All samples are analyzed for FGF-23, using a C-terminal FGF-23 ELISA kit (Immunotopics, San Clemente, USA) that measures intact and C-terminal fragments of FGF-23, and one that measures only intact FGF-23
  • Samples obtained at T-15, T0, T240 and T480 are stored for later analysis of Ca, albumin, PO4, PTH, 25-OHD and 1,25-OHD

Endpoint:

A change of 25% in de serum FGF-23 levels in response to a single subcutaneous injection of calcitonin 200 IU.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Calcitonin in people with Hypophosphatemia, run by Rijnstate Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 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 28 Jun 2016. 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 Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

A change of 25% in de serum FGF-23 levels in response to a single subcutaneous injection of calcitonin 200 IU. (time frame: eight hours). 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 28 Jun 2016.
