About this study

Identify individuals with greater absorption of oxalate based on increase in urinary oxalate excretion in response to a controlled oxalate-rich test meal.

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective 4-day study of oxalate absorption in subjects with secondary hyperoxaluria. Subjects visited the research center three times for outpatient visits (Screening, Test Day 3, Day 4).

Subjects were instructed to follow a low-oxalate diet, consuming only study-specified food choices that had low or no oxalate and controlled calcium content Days 1 through 4 (Baseline Period through the Day 4 clinic visit) and, on Test Day 3, consumed an oxalate-rich test meal.

Subjects performed three 24-hour urine collections during Screening, Baseline Day 2, and Test Day 3. Test Day 3 included the oxalate-rich test meal and the subject collected a 24-hour urine separated into 4 urine collection intervals. (Pre-test meal, post-test meal to 4 hours, 4-6 hours post test meal and remaining time to complete 24 hours).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent of Oxalate Absorption Normalized by Baseline Urinary Oxalate Excretion Over a 24 Hour Test Period

    Percent of oxalate absorption normalized by baseline was calculated by 100*[UOx/test - UOx/baseline]/Ox intake from the test meal.

    Measured: 24 hours during baseline and test day following oxalate-rich meal

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percent of Oxalate Absorption By Test Interval

    Percent of Oxalate absorption by test interval was calculated as the urinary oxalate excretions (mg) during the test interval divided by the amount of oxalate in the test meal.

    Measured: 0-4 hours post test meal, 0-6 hours post test meal, 0-24 hours post test meal

  2. Percent Change From Baseline for Urinary Oxalate to Creatinine Ratio by Test Interval

    Urinary oxalate (UOx) excretion was normalized to units of mg/g creatinine by dividing the UOx in mg by the creatinine value in g from the same collection. Percent change from baseline for UOx/Cr from Baseline was calculated by 100 * [UOx/Cr for the test interval - UOx/Cr at Baseline] / UOx/Cr at Baseline.

    Measured: 24 hours during baseline, 0 to 4 hours post test meal, 0-6 hours post test meal, 6-24 hours post test meal, 0-24 hours post test meal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Test Meal in people with Secondary Hyperoxaluria and Nephrolithiasis, run by Allena Pharmaceuticals at 5 sites 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 28 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 24 Mar 2020). 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?

Percent of Oxalate Absorption Normalized by Baseline Urinary Oxalate Excretion Over a 24 Hour Test Period (time frame: 24 hours during baseline and test day following oxalate-rich meal). 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 28 Oct 2021.
