Trial summary

FGF-23 is a newly described protein that is an important regulator of phosphorus in the body. This protein increases in people with kidney disease and people who need dialysis have very high levels of FGF-23 in the blood. Read more about this study

About this study

FGF-23 is a newly described protein that is an important regulator of phosphorus in the body. This protein increases in people with kidney disease and people who need dialysis have very high levels of FGF-23 in the blood. However, although some studies have indicated that FGF-23 levels go up with increased intake of phosphorus, no one knows if FGF-23 levels can be lowered in patients with kidney disease by preventing them from absorbing phosphorus from food. This study is designed to see what happens to levels of FGF-23 in the blood when patients with chronic kidney disease take medications to prevent phosphorus absorption. Since high levels of FGF-23 have been linked with increased rates of death in patients with advanced kidney disease, controlling the levels may, in the future, be a way to decrease heart disease in patients with kidney disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevelamer Carbonate in people with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, run by University of California, Los Angeles 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 31 May 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in FGF-23 Level (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 31 May 2023.
