Show all 14Show fewer
  • Subjects who require immune suppressive therapy (including prednisone > 10mg daily for more than 2 weeks).
  • Current treatment with a separate ascorbic acid preparation. Ascorbic acid up to 250mg/day as a component of a multivitamin formulation is not excluded.

  • Women of child-bearing potential who are not using adequate contraceptive precautions. Sexually active females, unless surgically sterile or at least 2 years post-menopausal, must be using a highly effective contraception (including oral, transdermal, injectable, or implanted contraceptives, IUD, abstinence, use of a condom by the sexual partner or sterile sexual partner) for 30 days prior to the first dose of OxabactTM and must agree to continue using such precautions during the clinical study.
  • Presence of a medical condition that the Principal Investigator considers likely to make the subject susceptible to adverse effect of study treatment or unable to follow study procedures. Note: Subjects from correctional facilities or asylums and subjects who are mentally handicapped are not to be included in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage change in urinary oxalate levels (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Percentage change in urinary oxalate levels (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 8

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Percentage change in urinary oxalate levels (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 24 in subsets of subjects defined by baseline urinary oxalate level, above and below median at screening

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Percentage change in urinary oxalate levels (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 24 in subsets of subjects defined by concomitant vitamin B6 therapy and no vitamin B6 therapy, in PH type I

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Percentage change in urinary oxalate levels (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 24 in subsets of subjects defined by eGFR of ≥90 mL/min/1.73m2 and < 90 mL/min/1.73m2

    Measured: 24 weeks

  5. Percentage change in urinary oxalate levels (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 24 in subsets of subjects defined by PH Type I and PH Type II

    Measured: 24 weeks

  6. Percentage change in urinary oxalate levels (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 24 in subsets of subjects defined by age below 18 and age 18 or above

    Measured: 24 weeks

  7. Percentage of subjects who have ≥20% reduction from Baseline urinary oxalate at Week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

  8. Percentage change in plasma oxalate levels

    Measured: 24 weeks

  9. Frequency of Stone Events (i.e. nephrolithiasis or markers thereof)

    Measured: 24 weeks

  10. Correlation between percentage change in plasma oxalate levels and percentage change in urinary oxalate levels, from Baseline to Week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

  11. Adverse events (AEs), hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Oxalobacter formigenes in people with Primary Hyperoxaluria, run by OxThera at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 14 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 15 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Germany, 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Percentage change in urinary oxalate levels (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 24 (time frame: 24 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 15 May 2013.
