O. Formigenes Colonization in Calcium Oxalate Kidney Stone Disease

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this trial is to test if colonization with the gut bacteria Oxalobacter formigenes leads to a reduction in urinary oxalate excretion in patients with calcium oxalate kidney stone disease. The study will recruit adult participants with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones who are not colonized with Oxalobacter formigenes. Participants will - ingest fixed diets containing low and moderately high amounts of oxalate for 4 days at a time - collect urine, blood and stool samples during the fixed diets - ingest a preparation of live Oxalobacter formigenes to induce colonization with Oxalobacter formigenes

Clinical Trial Description

In this study the investigators propose to measure the excretion of urinary oxalate on a fixed diet with controlled amounts of oxalate, before and after inducing colonization with the gut bacteria Oxalobacter formigenes in individuals with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones not already colonized with Oxalobacter formigenes. Screening and Pre-colonization phase. Between the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW), the study will enroll 40 individuals with a history of idiopathic calcium oxalate kidney (20 males/20 females). Screening will include stool colonization testing, blood complete metabolic profile, 24-hr urine specimens collected at home on self-selected diets and anthropometric measurements. Participants will ingest a low-oxalate (<60 mg/day) fixed diet for 4 consecutive days and collect two 24-hr urines and a stool sample after 2 days of dietary equilibration, as well as one fasted blood sample on the last morning. After a wash-out period of at least 1 week, participants will ingest a moderately high-oxalate (250-300 mg/day) fixed diet for 4 consecutive days and collect two 24-hr urines and a stool sample after 2 days of dietary equilibration, as well as one fasted blood sample on the last morning. Colonization and Post-colonization phase. Participants will be colonized with Oxalobacter formigenes by ingesting a freshly thawed paste of live bacterial preparation of O. formigenes. They will collect a stool sample 1 week later to assess if colonization occured. After confirmation of successful colonization, participants will ingest a low-oxalate (<60 mg/day) fixed diet for 4 consecutive days and collect two 24-hr urines and a stool sample after 2 days of dietary equilibration, as well as one fasted blood sample on the last morning. After a wash-out period of at least 1 week, participants will ingest a moderately high-oxalate (250-300 mg/day) fixed diet for 4 consecutive days and collect two 24-hr urines and a stool sample after 2 days of dietary equilibration, as well as one fasted blood sample on the last morning. Follow-up phase Participants will be followed up every 6 months to assess sustainability of colonization, provide a stool sample and answer a simple questionnaire. A 24-hr urine collection will be requested once a year after colonization, on the same moderately high oxalate diet diet after 2 days of dietary equilibration. ;
