The purpose of this study is to determine if a reduction in the enzyme 1-hydroxylase, which activates Vitamin D, is the cause of overactivity of the parathyroid glands (called secondary hyperparathyroidism - normal blood calcium and elevated parathyroid hormone) in a selected group of young patients with normal kidney… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Suspected Partial 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-alpha-hydroxylase Deficiency

The purpose of this study is to determine if a reduction in the enzyme 1-hydroxylase, which activates Vitamin D, is the cause of overactivity of the parathyroid glands (called secondary hyperparathyroidism - normal blood calcium and elevated parathyroid hormone) in a selected group of young patients with normal kidney function.

Read the detailed description

Vitamin D, an essential nutrient, is produced by the skin after sunlight shines on it. Vitamin D must then be activated by both the liver and the kidneys to perform its function of maintaining strong bones and helping to prevent heart disease, infection, diabetes and cancer. Reduced kidney activation of Vitamin D occurs with advanced age and with all kidney diseases. We have identified a small group of patients who appear to have reduced ability of the kidneys to activate vitamin D, even though they are young and do not have chronic kidney disease. In these patients, we are comparing the ability of their kidneys to activate Vitamin D to that of healthy controls. To stimulate the kidneys to activate Vitamin D, we are giving parathyroid hormone intravenously over 8 hours and collecting blood and urine at baseline, 4 and 8 hours. This type of parathyroid infusion does not cause side effects. The gene that controls this activation is also being studied (by a simple blood test) to look for abnormalities. We are now actively recruiting healthy controls for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TeriparatideDrug

    Also called Forteo

    Teriparatide will be given by continuous intravenous infusion at a rate of 12 pmol/kg/hr for 8 hours to both "patients" and "controls"

What is being measured

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

  1. The Level of Activated Vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) After Parathyroid Hormone Infusion at Baseline, 4 and 8 Hours

    1,25-D was measured at baseline, 4 and 8 hours after PTH infusion

    Measured: baseline, 4 and 8 hours after start of infusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Number of Patients With Mutations in CYP27B1

    CYP27B1 gene (the gene for 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-alpha hydroxylase) was sequenced for all in patient group and compared with published control data

    Measured: blood samples taken at baseline and sequenced over several days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Teriparatide in people with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 1 Apr 2022. 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 14 May 2014). 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?

The Level of Activated Vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) After Parathyroid Hormone Infusion at Baseline, 4 and 8 Hours (time frame: baseline, 4 and 8 hours after start of infusion). 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 NCT00754442, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Apr 2022.
