Active clinical trials for "Familial Hypophosphatemic Rickets"

This study evaluates the effect on height of a two year treatment with growth hormone in 19 children with X linked hypophosphatemic rickets.

This study will measure the effect of cinacalcet (Sensipar) on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion in children and adolescents with hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). The investigators are seeking evidence that patients with XLH may benefit from treatment with cinacalcet by achieving better control of PTH secretion.

This is phase 3b open-label, international, multicenter study to continue to monitor the long-term safety and efficacy of burosumab in adult patients with XLH that participated in previous clinical trials with burosumab (UX023-CL303 / UX023-CL304).

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) rare genetic disorder due by inactivating mutations in the PHEX gene leading to increased levels in FGF-23. Elevated FGF-23 reduces renal phosphate reabsorbtion and and limits 1-alpha hydroxylase driven Vitamin D activation, eventually leading to phosphate wasting, defective bone mineralization and additional health issues. Burosumab is a recombinant fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody developed to treat XLH by binding FGF23, thereby restoring normal phosphate homeostasis. BUR03 is a Phase 3b open-label, single-arm, single-center study to confirm the efficacy and safety of Burosumab treatment in adult (age ≥18 years) XLH patients without upper age limit and irrespective of baseline pain level and to further evaluate the efficacy in this cohort and the assocaited effect of treatment on physical functioning, mobility and activity. The study aims at enrolling and treating 34 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of XLH with q4w s.c. injection of Burosumab 1mg/kg body weight over 48 weeks. Primary objective is to attiain normal serum phosphorus levels, secondary objectives include key parameters of physical function and activity, mobility and mineral homeostasis.

The primary objective of this study is to establish the effect of KRN23 treatment on improvement in XLH-associated osteomalacia as determined by osteoid volume (osteoid volume/bone volume, OV/BV).

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common form of inherited rickets in the United States. It also causes bone disease in adults. XLH is caused by overproduction of a hormone call FGF23, which makes the body waste phosphate. This study is designed to determine if nasal calcitonin, an already approved drug in the US, can lower blood levels of FGF23 and reduce phosphate wasting in patients with XLH. In this study the investigators will: Determine whether nasal calcitonin significantly lowers integrated 24-hour blood levels of FGF23 in patients with XLH. Evaluate whether nasal calcitonin improves serum phosphate levels in XLH. Assess whether nasal calcitonin improves blood levels of the active form of vitamin D and calcium absorption from the intestine. Make sure that nasal calcitonin is safe and well tolerated.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated subcutaneous (SC) injections of KRN23 in adult subjects with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH). A Bone Substudy will evaluate the effects of single-blind KRN23 versus Placebo on bone mineral density and bone quality.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of paricalcitol, a form of synthetic vitamin D, in lowering parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and reducing disease symptoms in children and adults with X-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets.

Research Title: Evaluation of airway reactivity, allergy and inflammatory mediators in exhaled breath condensate in vitamin D resistant rickets. Aim: To assess the effect of absence of vitamin D receptors on airway reactivity, allergy and inflammatory mediators in exhaled breath condensate in a prospective study evaluating patients with vitamin D resistant rickets and in healthy controls. Sample size: 40 participants in the two groups. Primary end point: Airway reactivity as assessed by methacholine challenge test. Secondary outcome parameters: All other parameters are the secondary end points.

Currently, large oral doses of phosphate and 1,25(OH)2D (calcitriol) are the standard treatment of patients with familial hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). While this therapy is effective in healing the rickets, it is often limited by development of complications due to the high dose of medications required to achieve cure. Among them are the development of calcifications in the kidneys and secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) which in some patients may cause complications like high blood calcium level, high blood pressure and damage to the kidney. A drug to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism was just developed. In a short term study we found that it might help the treatment of XLH, by allowing the use of lower doses of the both phosphate and calcitriol. In the present study we will learn if indeed the addition of this new medicine (Cinacalcet) to the long-term treatment will allow the use of lower doses of both phosphate and calcitriol and consequently lower the risk of complications.
