  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

  • 25(OH)D levels ≥ 20 ng/ml.
  • Signed informed consent.
  • BMI 18 - 30 kg/m2, inclusive.
  • Full blood count should be within the reference range as per WHO criteria. Minor abnormalities will be assessed by the Principle Investigator and after discussion with sponsor patients may still be entered if these are felt to be of "no clinical importance". Abnormalities due to hypoparathyroidism related are acceptable and will not constitute exclusion.
  • Patients with significant liver function impairment (liver enzymes above x3 the upper limit of normal range as per WHO criteria) will be excluded.
  • Subjects able to adhere to the visit schedule and protocol requirements.

Who cannot join

  • Haemoglobin <12 g/dL (females)/ <13gm/dL (males) [lower limit of reference range 12-15 \& 13-17]
  • Impaired renal function
  • impaired liver function; ALT >38 international units per liter (IU/L), or ALP>125 IU/L
  • Significant drug or alcohol abuse as assessed by the Principal Investigator
  • Allergy to soy bean products
  • Presence of kidney or urinary tract stones
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Concurrent therapy that, in the Investigator's opinion, would interfere with the evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the study medication.
  • Treatment with any investigational product within the last 30 days, enrollment or intention to enroll in any active study involving the use of investigational devices or drugs.
  • Presence of any other condition or circumstance that, in the judgment of the Investigator, might increase the risk to the patient or decrease the chance of obtaining satisfactory data to achieve the objectives of the study.
  • Active infections
  • Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy. Female subjects must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and be willing and able to use a medically acceptable method of birth control (reliable use of oral contraceptive, non-hormonal intrauterine device with condom, or diaphragm with condom, or condom with spermicide) from the screening visit through the study termination visit or declare that they are abstaining from sexual intercourse from the screening visit through the study termination visit or are surgically sterile (have undergone bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy) or post-menopausal. Postmenopausal women are defined as women with menstruation cessation for 12 consecutive months prior to signing of the informed consent form.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    safety will be measured by monitoring and recording adverse events related to hyper- and hypocalcemia

    Measured: up to 17 weeks

  2. Reduction in use of exogenous calcium supplement and/or alpha D3 supplement

    Measured: up to 17 weeks

  3. Tolerability- The rate of discontinuation of patients' participation in the study due to adverse events

    Measured: up to 17 weeks

  4. Plasma calcium levels

    Measured: at baseline and 60 minutes post-dose

  5. Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)of treatment

    To study the pharmacokinetic profile of PTH absorption

    Measured: at baseline and time-points post-dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The volunteers' compliance to treatment

    Compliance to treatment defined as proportion taking >80% study medication (good), 60-80% (satisfactory) and <60% (poor)

    Measured: up to 17 weeks

  2. Patient quality of life

    Patients will report a Quality Of Life (QOL) review

    Measured: up to 17 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EnteraBio's Oral Parathyroid Hormone (1-34) in people with Hypoparathyroidism, run by Entera Bio Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 7 Oct 2015. 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 Israel. 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 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?

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?

Number of participants with adverse events (time frame: up to 17 weeks). The study lists 5 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 7 Oct 2015.
