Trial summary

In this study the investigators propose to use a daily dose of 45 mg (30 mg at 8 AM and 15 mg at 4 PM). This relatively small well-tolerated dose is likely to persistently increase urine volume and reduce urine supersaturation and to be well tolerated by patients with kidney stone disease and normal renal function… Read more about this study

About this study

In this study the investigators propose to use a daily dose of 45 mg (30 mg at 8 AM and 15 mg at 4 PM). This relatively small well-tolerated dose is likely to persistently increase urine volume and reduce urine supersaturation and to be well tolerated by patients with kidney stone disease and normal renal function (see below). The twice-daily (8 AM and 4 PM) regimen is designed to produce a maximal AVP inhibition on waking with a gradual fall-off of effect during the night. To this end, a higher dose is used in the morning, with a lower dose in the afternoon.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in urinary calcium oxalate supersaturation (SS)

    Calcium oxalate (CaOx) SS is primary endpoint for CaOx stone formers.

    Measured: Baseline to 3 weeks

  2. Change in Calcium phosphate SS

    Calcium phosphate (CaPhos) SS is the primary endpoint for CaPhos stone formers.

    Measured: Baseline to three weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tolvaptan in people with Nephrolithiasis, Calcium Oxalate and Nephrolithiasis, Calcium Phosphate, 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 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 30 Mar 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 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 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.

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?

Change in urinary calcium oxalate supersaturation (SS) (time frame: Baseline to 3 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Mar 2016.
