Study summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMOR-1, consisting of Amorphous Calcium Carbonate (ACC) as the active drug substance, in treating hypocalcemia in adults with hypoparathyroidism.

Read the detailed description

AMOR-1 contains Amorphous Calcium Carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles, which provide higher calcium absorption and bioavailability compared to the crystalline form. Therefore, significantly smaller doses of elemental calcium provided by ACC may be sufficient to maintain the desired serum calcium levels in people with hypoparathyroidism. The lower calcium doses can potentially reduce the adverse effects, associated with long-term, high daily doses of calcium supplementation, consumed by these patients.

The main question for the study is: Can replacing the current calcium supplement with AMOR-1, which contains half the amount of elemental calcium, maintain blood calcium levels in people with hypoparathyroidism? Patients with a history of hypoparathyroidism will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either AMOR-1 or Control (the conventional crystalline calcium carbonate supplement), respectively. Their current dose of calcium supplement will be gradually replaced with AMOR-1 or the Control over 2-4 weeks. At the end of the replacement phase, participants in the AMOR-1 arm are anticipated to receive 50% of the elemental calcium compared to their initial intake from the crystalline calcium supplements. Subjects in the Control arm will maintain their initial elemental calcium intake. Following this replacement phase, the participants will continue receiving their individual dose of AMOR-1 or the Control for an additional 10-12 weeks (Dose Maintenance phase). At the end of this phase, the participants will revert to their initial calcium supplement and will be monitored for an additional month until the end of the study. All participants will receive an active form of vitamin D in parallel to the study treatment. Throughout the study, participants will be routinely monitored for safety and efficacy, including calcium levels in the blood and urine.

  5. Oral calcium ≥ 1000 mg QD above the normal dietary calcium intake
  6. Albumin-adjusted total serum calcium concentration level between 7.5 mg/dL and 10.5 mg/dL, or if outside of this range, considered not by the Investigator.
  7. Vitamin D metabolite/analog therapy with calcitriol ≥0.25μg QD or alfacalcidol ≥0.50 μg QD.
  8. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) ≥50 nmol/l (20 ng/ml), or if below, considered not clinically significant by the Investigator.

  10. Absence or stable symptoms from hypocalcemia over the last 3 months prior to Screening as reported by the patient or through medical documentation.
  11. For subjects receiving thyroid replacement therapy, the dose is stable for at least 6 weeks prior to screening and the TSH serum levels are within the normal range. A serum TSH level below the lower limit of the normal range but not undetectable in participant treated with thyroid hormone may be allowed if there is no anticipated need for a change in thyroid hormone dose during the trial.
  12. Female subjects who are (12 consecutive months of spontaneous amenorrhea and age >= 51 years), or who are surgically sterilized may be enrolled, as may women of who had a negative pregnancy test at screening and are willing to use two medically acceptable methods of for the duration of the study and undergo pregnancy testing according to the study protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Any disease that might affect calcium metabolism or calcium-phosphate homeostasis other than hypoparathyroidism, such as active hyperthyroidism, Paget's disease of bone, Type 1 or poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus ( > 9%), acromegaly, multiple endocrine neoplasia types I and II, Cushing's syndrome or disease, acute pancreatitis, malnutrition, recent prolonged immobility.
  2. Severe liver disease ( score >9) (US FDA, 2003) or hepatic transaminases ( and AST) > 3 times the upper limit.
  3. Severe renal insufficiency defined as estimated (eGFR) \< 30 ml/min/1.73 m2.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

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.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

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.
