Study summary

Hypothesis: Oral administration of the oxalate metabolizing enzyme Oxazyme (OC4) will degrade food-borne oxalate and hence prevent its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, by reducing oxalate concentrations in the gastrointestinal fluid, oxalate secretion from blood to the intestinal tract may be increased. Both effects would decrease blood levels of oxalate, and hence oxalate excretion in the urine.

Read the detailed description

Oxazyme is an oxalate degrading compound that can potentially degrade food-borne oxalate and hence prevent its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

We propose a 20-patient open-label trial pilot study of one month of Oxazyme twice daily (1gm Oxazyme sachet dissolved in 150 ml water) among adult subjects with a history of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. Patients will be stratified into those with enteric hyperoxaluria after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB, n=10) and those with idiopathic hyperoxaluria (n=10). The patients will perform two, 24-hour, urine collections immediately before starting Oxazyme and on the last two days of the treatment period.

Inclusion criteria

  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass hyperoxaluric Calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone subjects or Idiopathic hyperoxaluric CaOx stone subjects
  • Patients must have or had radio-opaque stones present on x-ray, or a history consistent with the passage of a stone or stone surgery or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) in the last 5 years.
  • Hyperoxaluria Ox/Cr ratio ≥36 mg/g
  • The patient must be able to provide written informed consent
  • Patients must be able to urinate reliably into a collection vessel to measure urine volume.
  • Patients may be taking drugs for the prevention of stone disease, including pyridoxine, thiazides, citrate supplements and allopurinol, as long as there have been no changes in these medications for at least 3 months

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Primary hyperoxaluria patients
  • Use of Oxadrop, Oxabsorb, or other therapies affecting oxalate absorption from the gut, other than stable doses of calcium.
  • Subjects who are pregnant. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment and must practice some form of birth control during the trial.
  • Patients on an unstable dose of any other drugs for the prevention of stone disease (i.e., pyridoxine, citrate supplements. etc.). Patients should have been on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to randomization.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    RYGB CaOx Stone Formers

    Subjects with enteric hyperoxaluria after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). Dosing: 1gm Oxazyme containing approximately 1600 Units OxDC in a sachet administered BID together with lunch and dinner. Subjects were instructed to open the oxazyme sachets and either sprinkle on food or add to a glass of water or fruit juice and consume the contents with a meal twice daily.

    Drug: Oxazyme

  • Experimental
    Idiopathic Hyperoxaluria CaOx Stone Formers

    Subjects with idiopathic hyperoxaluria. Dosing: 1gm Oxazyme containing approximately 1600 Units OxDC in a sachet administered BID together with lunch and dinner. Subjects were instructed to open the oxazyme sachets and either sprinkle on food or add to a glass of water or fruit juice and consume the contents with a meal twice daily.

    Drug: Oxazyme

Interventions

  • DrugOxazyme

    Oxazyme (registered trademark) is a non-systemic orally delivered drug composed of recombinant oxalate decarboxylase (OxDC). It is formulated to enzymatically degrade available dietary oxalate prior to its absorption. Dosing: 1gm Oxazyme containing approximately 1600 Units OxDC in a sachet administered BID together with lunch and dinner. Subjects were instructed to open the oxazyme sachets and either sprinkle on food or add to a glass of water or fruit juice and consume the contents with a meal twice daily.

    Also known as: oxalate decarboxylase, OC4

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Urinary Oxalate Creatinine Ratio

    The urinary oxalate per creatinine ratio is expressed as mg/g. Paired t-test will be used when comparing reduction of urinary oxalate resulting from treatment (versus baseline) for each subject group.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 4

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total Urinary Oxalate Excretion

    Oxalate is a salt of oxalic acid produced by the body's metabolism and excreted in the urine, measured in this study in two, 24-hour, urine collections.

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of May 2010, a primary completion of Sep 2011 and a completion of Oct 2011. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Dec 2012, 1 year 3 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 24, 2012, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
