Study Description

Brief Summary:
Children and adults with XLH recruited will be treated with calcitriol alone (without phosphate supplementation) for one year, during which the calcitriol dose will be escalated during the first 3 months of therapy. The investigators hypothesize that treatment of adults and children with XLH alone will improve serum phosphate levels and skeletal mineralization without causing an increase in kidney calcifications. The study will also examine if calcitriol therapy will improve growth in children.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from baseline in serum phosphate in adults and children with XLH [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ]
  2. Change from baseline in TmP/GFR in adults and children with XLH [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ]
    a measure of kidney resorption of phosphate

  3. Rickets score for children with XLH [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ]
    a score of rickets severity determined by reading x-rays of wrists and knees (10 point Thacher score with 0 being normal and 10 being severe)

  4. Change from baseline in nephrocalcinosis grade [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ]
    determine if there is change in amount of calcifications in the kidneys: graded from grade 0 (normal) to grade IV (stone formation, solitary focus of echos at the tip of the renal pyramid)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Growth in children with XLH [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ]
    Z-score of growth
