Oral Pyrophosphate Absorption in PXE Disease

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum Clinical Trial

Official title: Oral Disodiumpyrophosphate (Na2H2PPi) Absorption in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE)

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

Pyrophosphate is an endogenous, non-toxic metabolite inhibiting soft tissue calcification. The aim of our study is to find optimal dosing and safety of oral disodium-PPi (Na2H2PPi). Absorption curves (pharmacokinetics), AUC0-t, Cmax and Tmax for PPi and phosphate will be provided for healthy controls and PXE-patients both fasting and with standard meal intake.

Clinical Trial Description

Phase II oral capsulized disodium-PPi (Na2H2PPi) powder absorption study in subjects with PXE (n=8-12) will be done in the ward of Internal Medicine of Tampere University Hospital and University Medical Center Utrecht.

After a 10-hour fast at 8.00 a.m. 30 mg/kg (first day) and 50 mg/kg (second day) capsulized dose of PPi will be given with 2 dl water. At 12.00 a.m. another capsulized 30 mg/kg (first day) or 50 mg/kg (second day) single dose of PPi with a standard mixed meal (lunch) will be given with 2 dl water at the time when a subject starts eating.

Plasma and urine sampling include plasma and spot urine electrolytes, creatinine, and pyrophosphate. Plasma sampling will be done at 0, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 min after ingestion of PPi. Urine spot sample will be taken at 0 and 240 min after ingestion of PPi.

Physical activity is restricted. Side-effects will be recorded. ;
