Milk Products in the Treatment of Hypophosphatemic Rickets

November 15, 2017 updated by: University of Aarhus

Milk Products in the Treatment of Hypophosphatemic Rickets: A Randomised Crossover Trial

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of a high intake of milk and/or cheese products compared to phosphate tablets in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets when evaluating the S-phosphate levels as a main effect parameter. The study was designed as a randomized, multiple crossover study.

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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Objectives:

Standard treatment of hypophosphatemic rickets consists of oral phosphate tablets and vitamin D analogous. Due to their rapid absorption, serum-phosphate fluctuations can occur and secondary hyperparathyroidism may be a consequence. Our aim was to evaluate, if phosphate supplement administered as milk or cheese is superior or equal to phosphate tablets in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets

Study population:

Patients with genetic verified hypophosphatemic rickets were included in the period from August 2015 to June 2016. Patients were excluded from the study if they presented with tertiary hyperparathydoism, were treated with Cinacalcet or suffered from milk allergy.

Study design:

The study was designed as a randomized, multiple crossover study with three treatment periods consisting of the regular oral phosphate supplement, a high milk intake or a high cheese intake (randomization.com). Patients were instructed to discontinue their regular treatment, except for their usual doses of D vitamin analogs, three days prior to sample collection and instead engage in the study treatment. Furthermore, they should follow their normal eating habits while undergoing the study treatment, which was controlled by food and liquid registrations.

At the phosphate supplement session, the patients were treated with an 800 mg oral phosphor supplement distributed over five times a day independently of any prior treatment dose. At the cheese session, the patients were treated with an estimated phosphate content of 800 mg distributed over 5 meals. At the milk session, the patients were treated with 800 ml of milk daily corresponding to approximately 800 mg phosphor per day.

Sampling:

After three days of treatment, the patients visited our clinic for anaerobically handled blood samples, which were collected 5 times through out one day for calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 and basic phosphatase. Urine samples for calcium and phosphate was collected in containers from 0800 to 1200 and from 1200 to 1600. A 24-hour urine samples was obtained from the day before the sampling from 0800 to 0800 hours the following morning.

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.
Outcome Measure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
