入选标准
- •Males or females ≥18 years of age who are able to give informed consent.
- •Calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), either newly-diagnosed or pre-existing, currently on STS or not yet treated with STS and either not on pain medication or on a stable pain medication regimen. The diagnosis of calciphylaxis can be made when:
- •The following clinical features are all present, or two (2) of the following clinical features and typical histopathological findings are present.
- •Clinical features:
- •A patient on chronic hemodialysis for chronic kidney disease or with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 15/ml/min/1.73 m2
- •More than 2 painful and non-treatable skin ulcers with concomitant painful purpura
- •Painful and non-treatable skin ulcers on the trunk, extremities, or penis with concomitant painful purpura
- •Histopathological findings by skin biopsy when 3 clinical findings are not present:
- •Necrosis and ulceration of the skin with calcification of the tunica media and internal elastic membrane of small to medium-sized arterioles of dermis and subcutaneous fat are essential for the diagnosis
- •Concentric stenosis due to edematous intimal thickening is also seen in the small to medium-sized arterioles of dermis and subcutaneous fat
- •End stage renal disease (ESRD) on chronic maintenance hemodialysis.
- •Willingness to undergo washout of pre-existing STS treatment (if required by treatment allocation) and to continue in a double blind treatment period of 4 weeks, during which they might receive placebo.
- •Ability to comply with all study requirements.
排除标准
- •History of allergic or other adverse reaction to STS
- •Current treatment with STS for indications other than CUA (e.g. cyanide poisoning)
- •Currently on alternative treatment for CUA as listed below. Unless treatment has been discontinued for at least 1 month prior to the screening visit.
- •Hyperbaric Oxygen
- •Bisphosphonates
- •Pentoxifylline
- •Tissue Plasminogen Activator
- •Lucilia sericata larvae (maggot therapy)
- •On Cinacalcet for treatment for CUA (i.e. cinacalcet was either started or dose increased after the appearance of lesions)
- •Any co-existing disease or problem that makes participation in the study unadvisable for the patient or compromises integrity of the study
- •Cirrhosis of the liver
- •History of congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class III or IV) with multiple hospital admissions (at least 3 admissions in 6 months)
- •Persistent and uncontrolled metabolic acidosis
- •Chronic kidney disease or renal transplant patients with diagnosis of calciphylaxis who are not on hemodialysis.
- •Any other disease or condition which, in the judgment of the Investigator, would place a subject at undue risk by being enrolled in the trial, or cause inability to comply with the trial
