简要总结
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder (OMIM 264800, frequency 1/25000) characterized by progressive ectopic calcification of connective tissues. PXE mainly affects the skin (inesthetic papules and plaques in the skin folds), the retina (central blindness), the vasculature (peripheral arterial occlusive disease and stroke) and the renal system (renal lithiasis) in adulthood. Although rarely, early lethal forms have been reported. This chronic and highly disabling condition results from a loss of function of the gene encoding for the ABCC6 membrane transporter primarily expressed in the hepatocytes and renal tubular cells. Recently, it has been reported that PXE was characterized by a 50-60% decrease in the plasma level of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a major physiological anti-calcifying factor. PXE is an incurable disease which therapeutic options are limited to symptomatic treatments to stem the devastating effect of the ectopic calcifications. Recently, encouraging proof of concept studies with animals PXE models and healthy volunteers have shown that, contrary to what was initially reported and thought, the oral administration of PPi salts are able to increase PPi plasma levels, opening up new therapeutic perspectives in PXE. Therefore, we propose to perform the first Phase II randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a daily and oral administration of PPi salts against placebo in PXE patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Arterial calcification score
时间窗: 12 months
Using manufacturer dedicated software, the investigator, will determine the calcification score from CT images according to the validated Agatston score method. A threshold of 130 Hounsfield Units for calcium detection will be used for the study. Voxels above this threshold representing arterial wall calcifications will be manually identified and selected by the observer on the CT image. Calcifications mass in the studied arterial segments will be analyzed and quantified. The length and antero-posterior mean diameter of each arterial segment will be determined for further normalization of the calcification score to the arterial wall surface (data expressed as HU/mm2 of arterial surface). The intraclass correlation and Bland-Altman coefficient for inter-observer reliability of the total peripheral artery calcium mass measurement will be determined by scoring 10 random scans by two independent investigators.
