The Effect of Lanthanum Carbonate on Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 ( FGF23) in Chronic Kidney Disease

September 19, 2023 updated by: Stuart Sprague, NorthShore University HealthSystem

The Effect of Lanthanum Carbonate on Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23 ) in Chronic Kidney Disease

The aim of the study is to assess the effects of the drug lanthanum carbonate (a phosphorus binder drug) on c-terminal and on FGF23 levels in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

Targeting FGF23 measurement in CKD patients may impact both the progression of kidney disease and patient mortality.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a double blind randomized placebo controlled pilot study. Subjects with Chronic Kidney Disease ( CKD) stages 3-5 who are not undergoing renal replacement therapy and have not been started on phosphate binders will be randomized to either lanthanum carbonate 1500 mg daily or placebo for a 60 day treatment period. Patient doses will be increased up to a maximum dose of 3000 mg if the serum phosphate is greater than 5.5 mg/dL.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
