Study summary

There is limited empirical data documenting disease progression and impact on quality of life for patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). This study seeks to investigate the impact of XLH in adults living in the UK retrospectively and prospectively over a 12 month period, using qualitative interviews, SEIQoL-DW, EQ-5D-5L, SF36 quality of life tools.

XLH is a rare, genetic, chronically debilitating and deforming condition (www.nice.org.uk/guidance/HST8). XLH is characterised by renal phosphate wasting, hypophosphatemia and defective bone mineralisation. The incidence of XLH is reported to be between 1:20,000 and 1:25,000 live births. In the UK, it is estimated that there are around 250 paediatric XLH patients and around 2,500 adult XLH patients (Delmestri,et al [Unpublished report]2018). The clinical phenotype of XLH is varied amongst patients, even among affected members of the same family. This can range from no signs or symptoms, slow growth in children, short stature, bone abnormalities that can affect movement and result in pain, bowed legs and knocked knees (where lower legs are positioned at an outward angle), tooth abscesses and excessive dental caries and hearing loss (adult patients only).

This study will recruit 36 adults living with XLH, who are aged 28 years or over and living in the UK. The study will be advertised by the Sponsor and funder Medialis Ltd and via the patient organisation Metabolic Support UK. All study activities will take place via tele-visits and online questionnaires. The study will last approximately 2 years, allowing for one-year recruitment and a further 12 months to conduct all study visits.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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 Oct 23, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
