Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

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.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

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.

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from Baseline (CFB) in mean serum phosphorus level at the end of the dose cycle

    Time frame: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain score over time

    Change from baseline to post-baseline visits in BPI-Q3 (Worst Pain) score as averaged from daily diary scores recorded over 1 week and the study visit score. The BPI evaluates the condition of all pain over the previous 24 hours. Two dimensions are measured: pain severity (worst, least, average, and now) and the impact of pain on functioning (pain interference with general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others, and sleep). Question 3 of the short-form BPI (BPI-Q3) asks subjects to rate their pain at its worst in the last 24 hours on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48

  2. Change in BPI Pain Severity score and Pain Interference score over time

    Change from baseline to post-baseline visits in BPI pain severity score as averaged from daily diary scores recorded over 1 week and the study visit score. The BPI evaluates the condition of all pain over the previous 24 hours. Two dimensions are measured: pain severity (worst, least, average, and now) and the impact of pain on functioning (pain interference with general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others, and sleep). The severity of pain in the last 24 hours is rated on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48

  3. Change in BPI Pain Interference score over time

    Change from baseline to post-baseline visits in BPI pain interference score as recorded on the day of the study visit. The BPI evaluates the condition of all pain over the previous 24 hours. Two dimensions are measured: pain severity (worst, least, average, and now) and the impact of pain on functioning (pain interference with general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others, and sleep). Pain interference in the last 24 hours is rated on a scale of 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes).

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48

  4. Change in the Stiffness and Physical Function domains of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) over time

    The WOMAC is a 24-item participant-reported questionnaire with two domains, Stiffness (2 questions) and Physical Function (17 questions) over the previous 48 hours. The WOMAC is administered in a 5-point Likert-scale format using descriptors of none, mild, moderate, severe, and extreme corresponding to an ordinal scale of 0-4. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse stiffness and functional limitations. Scores are normalized to a 0-100 metric where 0 was the best health state and 100 the worst.

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48

  5. Change in the health related QOL assessment by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function over time

    The PROMIS was developed by the National Institutes of Health and uses domain-specific measures to assess patient well-being (Broderick et al. 2013), (NIH 2015). It uses a T-score metric in which 50 is the mean of a relevant reference population and 10 is the standard deviation (SD) of that population. For the Physical Function Domain, increases indicate greater mobility.

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48

  6. The proportion of subjects achieving mean serum phosphorus levels above the lower limit of normal (LLN; 2.5 mg/dL [0.81 mmol/L]) at the end of the dosing cycle

    Time frame: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48

  7. The proportion of subjects achieving mean serum phosphorus levels above the LLN (2.5 mg/dL [0.81 mmol/L]) at the mid-point of dosing cycle

    Time frame: Weeks 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22

  8. CFB in mean serum phosphorus level at the mid-time point of dosing cycle

    Time frame: Weeks 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22

  9. Mean percent CFB in serum phosphorus levels averaged at the end of dose cycles

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

  10. Cumulative exposure: area under curve (AUC) of serum phosphorus

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

  11. Change in serum 1,25(OH)2D over time

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

  13. Change in ratio of renal tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR; algorithm method) over time

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

Other outcomes

  1. Radiologic healing or resolution of pre-existing fractures and/or pseudofractures, as defined by skeletal survey at Baseline and subsequent targeted radiography

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48

  2. Change in enthesopathy spur at the calcaneus measured by lateral foot X-rays

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24 and 48

  3. Change in 6-minute walking test (6MWT) over 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 Jul 9, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
