  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The subject (or legally acceptable representative) must give written informed consent (and assent for subjects ≥ 12 years or country specific age as appropriate). For subjects less than 18 years of age, parent or guardian will provide informed consent and the subject will provide witnessed verbal assent
  • Male or female subjects ≥ 5 years of age
  • Urinary oxalate excretion of > 1.0 mmol/1.73m2/day at Baseline
  • Documentation of diagnosis of PH I or PH II by any one of the following:
  • Liver biopsy confirmation of deficient liver specific peroxisomal alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase, (AGT) or mislocalization of AGT from peroxisomes to mitochondria (PH I) or deficient glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase (GR/HPR) activity (PH II)
  • Homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for a known mutation in the causative genes for PH I and PH II
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Increased glycolate excretion for PH I or increased L-glycerate excretion for PH II
  • Subjects receiving pyridoxine must be receiving a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to entry in to the study and must remain on the stable dose during the study. Other (non-pyridoxine naïve) subjects (e.g. Pyridoxine non-responder: <30% reduction of the urine oxalate levels) not receiving pyridoxine at study entry must be willing to refrain from initiating pyridoxine during study participation. Note: There will be no pyridoxine-naïve subjects enrolled in the study.
  • Renal function defined as an estimated GFR ≥ 50 ml/min normalized to 1.73m2 body surface area

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant, lactating, or actively menstruating women and women of child-bearing potential who are not using adequate contraceptive precautions. Sexually active females, unless surgically sterile or at least 2 years post-menopausal, must be using a highly effective contraception (including oral, transdermal, injectable, or implanted contraceptives, IUD, abstinence, use of a condom by the sexual partner, or sterile sexual partner) for 30 days prior to the first dose of OxabactTM and must agree to continue using such precautions during the clinical study.
  • Note: A highly effective method of birth control is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence, or a vasectomised partner.
  • Positive serum pregnancy test.
  • Participation in any study of an investigational product, biologic, device, or other agent within 30 days prior to randomization or not willing to forego other forms of investigational treatment during this study.
  • Subjects on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
  • Subjects who have undergone transplantation (solid organ or bone marrow).
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Chronic gastrointestinal disease associated with enteric hyperoxaluria, e.g. history of inflammatory bowel disease, colostomy. Note: For clarity, existence of Secondary Hyperoxaluria (e.g. with cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, short bowel syndrome and/or deficiency of intestinal oxalate-degrading bacteria is included (as an exclusion criteria).
  • Current systemic (oral, IM, IV) antibiotic use or received systemic antibiotics within 14 days of study enrolment.
  • History of chronic, recurrent infections requiring >2 courses of antibiotics in the past 6 months.
  • History of malignancy except for basal or squamous cell skin cancer that has been excised.
  • Unable to collect 24-hour urine samples or follow other study procedures.
  • Subjects who cannot swallow a size 2 capsule.
  • Presence of a medical condition that the Principal Investigator considers likely to make the subject susceptible to adverse effect of study treatment or unable to follow study procedures.
  • Subjects who require immune suppressive therapy (including prednisone of > 10mg daily for more than 2 weeks).
  • Subjects from correctional facilities or asylums.
  • Subjects who are mentally handicapped.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in urinary oxalate Percentage change in urinary oxalate (expressed as mmole/1.73m2 /day) from Baseline to Week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of subjects who are responders at Week 24 where response is defined as a 20% or greater reduction from Baseline urinary oxalate to Week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Percentage change in urinary oxalate (expressed as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Percentage change in urinary oxalate (expressed as mmole/1.73m2/day and as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to Week 12

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Percentage change in urinary oxalate (expressed as mmole/1.73m2/day and as molar oxalate to creatinine ratio) from Baseline to average of Weeks 12 and 24

    Measured: 12 and 24 weeks

  5. Frequency of AEs and SAEs

    Measured: over 24 weeks

  6. Laborator safety data

    Measured: 12 and 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Oxalobacter formigenes in people with Primary Hyperoxaluria, run by OxThera 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 9 inclusion and 16 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 15 May 2013. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Reduction in urinary oxalate Percentage change in urinary oxalate (expressed as mmole/1.73m2 /day) from Baseline to Week 24 (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 15 May 2013.
