About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of normal diet and low-phosphate diet on the level and the circadian pattern of serum phosphate concentration in normal subjects and to explore the underlying mechanisms.

Read the detailed description

Emerging evidence show that serum phosphate concentrations are not only associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, but also associated with the mortality in community population (without history of CKD or cardiovascular disease). The rise of serum phosphate will lead to the elevation of serum plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in healthy people, contributing to bone disorders and left ventricle thickening. Therefore, maintaining normal serum phosphate and reducing postprandial fluctuation of serum phosphate are essential for CKD patients as well as healthy people.

As for serum phosphate modulation by diet, most evidence was focused on CKD patients, less focused on healthy people. An American study in 1980s indicated that phosphorus intake was significantly related with the level of 24-h serum phosphate and the circadian pattern of serum phosphate. However, this study failed to explore the underlying mechanisms and the diet in America is different from that in China. Nowadays, normal diet in China is inclined to having more calories and protein, which warrants high diet phosphorus intake, may contributing to huge fluctuation of serum phosphate and thus elevating the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, what is the level and circadian pattern of serum phosphate concentrations in normal subjects under our native normal diet in China? Is restricted phosphate diet able to alter the level and circadian pattern of serum phosphate? These questions are what the investigator sare eager to answer.

Accumulating evidence suggest that gastrointestinal tract has a vital effect in phosphate modulation. Berndt etc. suggested that in rat, epidermal cells of duodenum and jejunum could sense the gastrointestinal tract phosphate load, rapidly activating the type IIa Na/Pi-cotransporter in the renal tubule cells, leading to the increase of urinary phosphate, without any changes of serum FGF23, PTH and phosphate concentrations. So the author proposed that there had a gastro intestine-kidney axis in phosphate modulation. However, whether this axis exists in human body remains unclear.

Therefore, the investigators plan to conduct a crossover clinical study to evaluate the level and circadian pattern of serum phosphate concentrations modulated by native normal diet and restricted phosphate diet and then to explore the underlying mechanisms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing normal diet and restricted phosphate diet in people with Healthy, run by Huashan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 17 Aug 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 China. 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.

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?

Circadian rhythm of serum phosphorus concentration (time frame: 24 hour). 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 17 Aug 2016.
