Study summary

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) rare genetic disorder due by inactivating mutations in the PHEX gene leading to increased levels in FGF-23. Elevated FGF-23 reduces renal phosphate reabsorbtion and and limits 1-alpha hydroxylase driven Vitamin D activation, eventually leading to phosphate wasting, defective bone mineralization and additional health issues.

Burosumab is a recombinant fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody developed to treat XLH by binding FGF23, thereby restoring normal phosphate homeostasis.

BUR03 is a Phase 3b open-label, single-arm, single-center study to confirm the efficacy and safety of Burosumab treatment in adult (age ≥18 years) XLH patients without upper age limit and irrespective of baseline pain level and to further evaluate the efficacy in this cohort and the assocaited effect of treatment on physical functioning, mobility and activity.

The study aims at enrolling and treating 34 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of XLH with q4w s.c. injection of Burosumab 1mg/kg body weight over 48 weeks.

Primary objective is to attiain normal serum phosphorus levels, secondary objectives include key parameters of physical function and activity, mobility and mineral homeostasis.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female, aged ≥ 18 years, inclusive
  • Diagnosis of X-linked Hypophosphatemia supported by classic clinical features of adult XLH (e.g. short statue or bowed legs, clinical symptoms as judged by the investigator) and at least one of the following at Screening visit:

    • documented PHEX mutation in either the patient, or
    • in a directly related family member with appropriate X-linked inheritance
    • Increased serum levels of c-term FGF23 or iFGF23
  • Biochemical findings consistent with XLH at Screening visit following overnight fasting:

    • Serum phosphorus level or
    • TmP/ below lab specific lower limit of normal (LLN)
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min (using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equitation) or eGFR of 30 up to 60 mL/min at Screening visit with confirmation that the renal insufficiency is not due to nephrocalcinosis
  • Subjects who provide written after the nature of the study has been explained, and prior to any research-related procedures.
  • Participants must, in the opinion of the investigator, be willing and able to complete all aspects of the study, adhere to the study visit schedule and comply with the assessments.
  • Females of must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Screening and be willing to have additional pregnancy tests during the study. Females considered not to be of child-bearing potential include those who have been in menopause for at least 2 years prior to Screening, or have had tubal ligation at least one year prior to Screening, or have had a total hysterectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
  • Female Participants of child-bearing potential who are sexually active must consent to use an effective method of as determined by the site investigator (i.e. oral hormonal contraceptives, patch hormonal contraceptives, vaginal ring, intrauterine devices, surgical hysterectomy, vasectomy, tubal ligation, or true abstinence) from the period following the signing of the informed consent through 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia, defined as serum calcium levels outside the age-adjusted normal limits and deemed as in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Vitamin D deficiency (25OH D3 \< 20ng/ml); if Vitamin D is low at screening, substitution is allowed and recompensation has to be confirmed before treatment start by normalized levels of Vitamin D (25OH D3 ≥ 20ng/ml)
  • Serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) >2.5-fold the (ULN)
  • Severe renal insufficiency with a (eGFR) \<30 at screening
  • Treatment with oral phosphate and / or active vitamin D analogues in addition to Burosumab treatment. (In order to ensure appropriate patient care and preclude any harm due to deficient supply, required supplementation with oral phosphate salts and/or active vitamin D analogues at screening can be continued during the run-in phase but has to be stopped before Baseline and Initiation of treatment with Burosumab.)
  • Treatment with bisphosphates or Denosumab within the last 6 months
  • Treatment with Teriparatide within the last 3 months
  • Intake of calcimimetics within 30 days before screening
  • Patients with known to Burosumab and the active substances of any of the of Burosumab
  • Presence of a concurrent disease or condition that would interfere with study participation or affect safety in the opinion of the investigator
  • Use of any product other than Burosumab or investigational medical device within 30 days prior to screening, or requirement for any investigational agent prior to completion of all scheduled study assessments.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

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 May 3, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
