Calcimimetics in Hypophosphatemic Rickets

Not Applicable

Conditions
Familial Hypophosphatemic Rickets

Registration Number
NCT00844740
Lead Sponsor
Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City
Brief Summary

Currently, large oral doses of phosphate and 1,25(OH)2D (calcitriol) are the standard treatment of patients with familial hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). While this therapy is effective in healing the rickets, it is often limited by development of complications due to the high dose of medications required to achieve cure. Among them are the development of calcifications in the kidneys and secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) which in some patients may cause complications like high blood calcium level, high blood pressure and damage to the kidney. A drug to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism was just developed. In a short term study we found that it might help the treatment of XLH, by allowing the use of lower doses of the both phosphate and calcitriol. In the present study we will learn if indeed the addition of this new medicine (Cinacalcet) to the long-term treatment will allow the use of lower doses of both phosphate and calcitriol and consequently lower the risk of complications.
