About this study

Official title: Effects of Theophylline on cAMP Signaling in Children With Pseudohypoparathyroidism Type 1a

This study will test an investigational drug, theophylline, in children with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a (PHP1a). This study involves a 3 day visit to the Vanderbilt Clinical Research Center.

Read the detailed description

Study measures will be done at baseline and during a 24h infusion of IV theophylline. Theophylline levels will be drawn to ensure therapeutic dosing and to monitor for toxicity. Measures include laboratory values, response to PTH infusion and resting energy expenditure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Urine cAMP

    Change in urine cAMP (after parathyroid hormone stimulation) before and during treatment with theophylline

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Resting Energy Expenditure (REE)

    Change in REE before and during treatment with theophylline

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Change in Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI)

    Change in AHI before and during treatment with theophylline

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Theophylline in people with Pseudohypoparathyroidism Type 1a and Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center 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 3 inclusion and 39 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 26 Jun 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 May 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?

Change in Urine cAMP (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02463409, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 26 Jun 2017.
