Trial summary

Primary hyperoxaluria is an inborn error of metabolism that results in marked overproduction of oxalate by the liver. The excess oxalate causes kidney failure and can cause severe systemic disease due to oxalate deposition in multiple body tissues. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of Hydroxyproline Plasma Concentration on Its Metabolism to Oxalate

Primary hyperoxaluria is an inborn error of metabolism that results in marked overproduction of oxalate by the liver. The excess oxalate causes kidney failure and can cause severe systemic disease due to oxalate deposition in multiple body tissues.

Metabolic pathways that lead to oxalate are poorly understood, but recent evidence suggests that hydroxyproline may play a role. Sources of hydroxyproline include the diet and bone turnover. If hydroxyproline can be confirmed as a significant factor in primary hyperoxaluria, diet modification might be of value in reducing the severity of disease.

This protocol, in which hydroxyproline labelled with a cold isotope is infused intravenously in patients with primary hyperoxaluria, will allow the researchers to measure the amount of oxalate produced from hydroxyproline. The contribution of hydroxyproline metabolism to the amount of oxalate excreted in urine in will be able to be determined for patients with each of the known types of primary hyperoxaluria.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the contribution of hydroxyproline metabolism to urinary oxalate and glycolate excretion in patients with primary hyperoxaluria.

Oxalic acid (COOH)2 is an end product of metabolism that is synthesized mainly in the liver. The researchers have estimated that 10 - 20 mg is synthesized in the body of healthy adults each day. The main precursor of oxalate is glyoxylate (CHO•COOH). The bulk of the glyoxylate formed is normally transaminated to glycine (NH2•CH2•COOH) by alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) or reduced to glycolate (CHOH•COOH) by glyoxylate reductase (GR). Less than 10% of the glyoxylate is oxidized to oxalate by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). In individuals with the disease, primary hyperoxaluria, AGT, GR, or hydroxy-oxoglutarate aldolase (HOGA) enzyme is deficient and the amount of oxalate synthesized by the liver increases to 80 - 300 mg per day. The increased oxalate excreted in urine can cause damage to kidney tissue. Calcium oxalate stones may form in the kidney or calcium oxalate crystals may deposit in renal tubules and the renal parenchyma (nephrocalcinosis). An increased rate of oxalate synthesis could also contribute to idiopathic calcium oxalate stone disease. Understanding the pathways of endogenous oxalate synthesis and identifying strategies that decrease oxalate production could be beneficial for individuals with these diseases.

Hydroxyproline is the primary source of glyoxylate identified in the body. Daily collagen turnover of bone results in the formation of 300 - 450 mg of hydroxyproline, which cannot be re-utilized by the body and is broken down. This metabolism yields 180 - 250 mg of glyoxylate. Further hydroxyproline is obtained from the diet, primarily from meat and gelatin-containing products. The bulk of the glyoxylate formed is converted to glycine by the liver enzyme AGT, some to glycolate and a small amount to oxalate. The proportion of these metabolites is not known with any certainty. In this study, a quantitative estimate of the metabolites formed will provide estimates of the contribution of hydroxyproline turnover to daily oxalate production.

What participants receive

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

  • Hydroxyproline and LeucineDrug

    Also called 13C5-hydroxyproline, 2H3-leucine

    Subjects will be infused with 13C5-hydroxyproline and 2H3-leucine for 6 hrs in the CRTU. The metabolic flux of 2H3-leucine has been well characterized, and is used as a control when studying the metabolism of trace infusions of labeled amino acids 3. Blood samples will be obtained every 30 min to determine the enrichment of plasma with 13C5-hydroxyproline and 2H3-leucine. Urine collections will be obtained hourly. The fluxes of whole body hydroxyproline and leucine will be calculated

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Percent Conversion of Hydroxyproline (Hyp) to Urinary Oxalate (UOx)

    The overall contribution of hydroxyproline catabolism to urinary oxalate (UOx) and glycolate (UGlc) excretion is determined by the excess mole percent enrichment of urine with 13C2-oxalate and glycolate corrected for the fraction of labelled [15N,13C5]-Hyp that is circulating in the plasma.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of study infusion and observation, an average of 24 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Hydroxyproline and Leucine 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 2 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 2 Jul 2017. 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 2 Jul 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?

Mean Percent Conversion of Hydroxyproline (Hyp) to Urinary Oxalate (UOx) (time frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of study infusion and observation, an average of 24 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 2 Jul 2017.
