About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Oxazyme (OC4) in Patients With Hyperoxaluria

Hypothesis: Oral administration of the oxalate metabolizing enzyme Oxazyme (OC4) will degrade food-borne oxalate and hence prevent its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, by reducing oxalate concentrations in the gastrointestinal fluid, oxalate secretion from blood to the intestinal tract may be increased. Both effects would decrease blood levels of oxalate, and hence oxalate excretion in the urine.

Read the detailed description

Oxazyme is an oxalate degrading compound that can potentially degrade food-borne oxalate and hence prevent its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

We propose a 20-patient open-label trial pilot study of one month of Oxazyme twice daily (1gm Oxazyme sachet dissolved in 150 ml water) among adult subjects with a history of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. Patients will be stratified into those with enteric hyperoxaluria after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB, n=10) and those with idiopathic hyperoxaluria (n=10). The patients will perform two, 24-hour, urine collections immediately before starting Oxazyme and on the last two days of the treatment period.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OxazymeDrug

    Also called oxalate decarboxylase, OC4

    Oxazyme (registered trademark) is a non-systemic orally delivered drug composed of recombinant oxalate decarboxylase (OxDC). It is formulated to enzymatically degrade available dietary oxalate prior to its absorption.

    Dosing: 1gm Oxazyme containing approximately 1600 Units OxDC in a sachet administered BID together with lunch and dinner. Subjects were instructed to open the oxazyme sachets and either sprinkle on food or add to a glass of water or fruit juice and consume the contents with a meal twice daily.

What is being measured

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

  1. Urinary Oxalate Creatinine Ratio

    The urinary oxalate per creatinine ratio is expressed as mg/g. Paired t-test will be used when comparing reduction of urinary oxalate resulting from treatment (versus baseline) for each subject group.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total Urinary Oxalate Excretion

    Oxalate is a salt of oxalic acid produced by the body's metabolism and excreted in the urine, measured in this study in two, 24-hour, urine collections.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Oxazyme in people with Hyperoxaluria, run by Mayo Clinic 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 24 Dec 2012. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Dec 2012). 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?

Urinary Oxalate Creatinine Ratio (time frame: Baseline, Week 4). 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 24 Dec 2012.
