Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 researchers measure

Primary outcomes

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

    Time frame: Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 52, and 64

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in rickets at Weeks 40 and 64 as examined by the Radiograph Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) global score

    Changes in the severity of rickets and bowing were assessed using a disease specific qualitative RGI-C scoring system. The RGI-C is a 7-point ordinal scale with possible values: +3 = very much better (complete or near complete healing of rickets), +2 = much better (substantial healing of rickets), +1 = minimally better (i.e., minimal healing of rickets), 0 = unchanged, -1 = minimally worse (minimal worsening of rickets), -2 = much worse (moderate worsening of rickets), -3 = very much worse (severe worsening of rickets).

    Time frame: Weeks 40 and 64

  2. Change in Rickets Severity Score (RSS) total score at Weeks 40 and 64

    The RSS system is a 10-point radiographic scoring method that was developed to assess the severity of nutritional rickets in the wrists and knees based on the degree of metaphyseal fraying, cupping, lucency, separation, and the proportion of the growth plate affected. Scores are assigned for the unilateral wrist and knee X-rays deemed by the rater to be the more severe of the bilateral images. The maximum total score on the RSS is 10 points and the minimum score is 0, with a total possible score of 4 points for the wrists and 6 points for the knees (the total score is the sum of the wrist and knee score). Higher scores indicate greater rickets severity.

    Time frame: Weeks 40 and 64

  3. Change in lower extremity skeletal abnormalities, including genu varum and genu valgus, as determined by the RGI-C long leg score at Weeks 40 and 64

    Changes in the severity of lower extremity skeletal abnormalities, including genu varum and genu valgus, were assessed using a disease specific qualitative RGI-C scoring system. The RGI-C is a 7-point ordinal scale with possible values: +3 = very much better (complete or near complete healing), +2 = much better (substantial healing), +1 = minimally better (i.e., minimal healing), 0 = unchanged, -1 = minimally worse (minimal worsening), -2 = much worse (moderate worsening), -3 = very much worse (severe worsening).

    Time frame: Weeks 40 and 64

  4. Change in serum phosphorus over time

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 52, 64, and 74

  5. Change in serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) over time

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 52, 64, and 74

  6. Change in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) over time

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 52, 64, and 74

  7. Change in urinary phosphorus over time

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 52, 64, and 74

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

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 52, 64, and 74

  9. Change in recumbent length/standing height in cm, height for age z scores

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

  10. Change in growth velocity from pre-treatment and post-treatment over time

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

  11. Change in growth velocity z scores from pre-treatment and post-treatment over time

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

  12. Six-minute walking test (6MWT) results to examine walking ability (total distance; patients ≥5 years at the time of signing the ICF only)

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

  13. Six-minute walking test (6MWT) results to examine walking ability (percent of predicted normal; patients ≥5 years at the time of signing the ICF only)

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

  14. Ten-item Short Form Health Survey for Children (SF-10) physical domain scores to examine health-related Quality of Life

    The SF-10 is a brief, 10-item, guardian-completed assessment designed to measure the physical and psychosocial functioning of children. The physical functioning (PHS) domain includes 5 questions that assess limitations in physical activities because of health problems. The PHS domain score was calculated using norm-based scoring so that 50 is the average score and the standard deviation equals 10. Higher scores are associated with better functioning/quality of life; a positive change from Baseline score indicates an improvement.

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

  15. Ten-item Short Form Health Survey for Children (SF-10) Psychosocial scores to examine health-related Quality of Life

    The SF-10 is a brief, 10-item, guardian-completed assessment designed to measure the physical and psychosocial functioning of children. The Psychosocial functioning (PSS) domain includes 5 questions that assess limitations in psychosocial activities because of health problems. The PHS domain score was calculated using norm-based scoring so that 50 is the average score and the standard deviation equals 10. Higher scores are associated with better functioning/quality of life; a positive change from Baseline score indicates an improvement.

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

  16. Face Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) scores to examine health-related Quality of Life

    The FPS-R is a dimensionless 10 point Likert scale used to assess self-reported pain intensity on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most pain you can imagine). Greater pain scores are indicative of more severe pain.

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

  17. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores to examine health-related Quality of Life

    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 Pain Interference Domain, decreases indicate less pain, for the Physical Function Mobility Domain, increases indicate greater mobility and for the Fatigue Domain, decreases indicate less fatigue.

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 24, 40 and 64

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 ↗
