About this study

This pilot study aims to develop a method for simultaneous whole-body calcium and phosphorus balance and full kinetic modeling of both ions in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this project is to produce preliminary data on the effects of the commonly prescribed dietary phosphorus restriction on whole-body Calcium (Ca) and Phosphorus (P) balance and kinetics patients with CKD, to support a larger future clinical study. The specific aims are to determine intestinal Ca and P fractional absorption and 2) Ca and P balance and full kinetics, effect sizes variance estimates in patients with CKD on a low Ca diet with high P diet versus dietary P restriction. The hypothesis is that a high P diet, in the context of a typical low Ca diet, leads to P retention negative Ca balance, and that dietary P restriction modestly reduces P retention but does not negative Ca balance.

The study design is a randomized 2-period cross-over study. All outpatient and inpatient visits place at the Indiana CTSI Clinical Research Center located in IU Health University Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. Subjects will be randomly assigned to controlled diets of either low Ca/high P (LCa/HP) or low (LCa/LP) for a 1-week, outpatient diet equilibration period, followed by 1-week inpatient full balance that includes a 48-hour Ca and P absorption testing protocol. After a 1-3 week washout subjects will crossover to the other diet regimen

What is being measured

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

  1. Fractional Calcium Absorption

    Determined by kinetic modeling of serum and urine Ca-44 isotope after oral and IV isotope administrations

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Fractional Phosphorus Absorption

    Determined by kinetic modeling of serum and urine P-33 isotope after oral and IV isotope administrations

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Calcium Balance

    Determined by analysis of calcium content in complete 24-hour urine and stool collections, subtracted from the diet calcium content consumed. Values can be negative, zero, or positive.

    Measured: 1 week

  4. Phosphorus Balance

    Determined by analysis of phosphorus content in complete 24-hour urine and stool collections, subtracted from the diet phosphorus content consumed. Values can be negative, zero, or positive.

    Measured: 1 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Serum Intact Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (iFGF23)

    Determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). Values for each subject are an average of 6 serial measures taken during the 1 week balance period (between Days 1-8)

    Measured: Day 1-8

  2. Serum Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH)

    Determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). Values for each subject are an average of 6 serial measures taken during the 1 week balance period (between Days 1-8)

    Measured: Day 1-8

  3. Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D)

    Determined by LC-MS/MS. Values are from Day 1 of the metabolic balance period (following 1 week of acclimation to assigned study diet).

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Phosphorus Diet and Low Phosphorus Diet in people with Phosphorus and Calcium Disorders and Chronic Kidney Disease Mineral and Bone Disorder, run by University of Minnesota 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 19 Sep 2024. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Sep 2024). 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?

Fractional Calcium Absorption (time frame: 48 hours). The study lists 4 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 19 Sep 2024.
