Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
We plan to enroll 20 subjects to obtain complete data on 16 subjects. We aim to have 10 subjects who will have confirmed familial idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) and 10 subjects who will have no family history of hypercalciuria.
Subjects will be brought into the Clinical Research Center at the University of Chicago where blood samples will be collected by phlebotomy to obtain the following screening tests: complete metabolic panel; including calcium, phosphate, magnesium, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and albumin; parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol. A twenty-four hour urine collection starting with second void of the day will be collected for calcium, phosphate, magnesium, citrate, oxalate, sodium, ammonia, sulfate, and creatinine. Subjects on diuretics will be screened after a 2 week washout period, provided this can be discontinued safely. If subjects have participated in study protocol number 12-1421, these screening tests do not have to be repeated and the results from protocol number 12-1421 will be used to determine eligibility.
Screening subjects who meet inclusion criteria can proceed to the observational study. Screening subjects who are vitamin D depleted (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D less than 35 ng/mL) may be rescreened after repletion of vitamin D.
A letter describing the study aims, protocols, and risks and benefits will be sent to their primary care physicians and gynecologists. Upon completion of the study, a summary letter will be sent as well.
Prior to the baseline visit a twenty-four hour urine collection starting with the second void of the day will be collected for calcium, phosphate, magnesium, citrate, oxalate, sodium, ammonia, sulfate, and creatinine. Subjects on diuretics will require a 2 week washout period, provided this can be discontinued safely. During the baseline visit a medical history will be taken and a physical exam will be performed. Venous blood will be collected for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, C-telopeptides of type 1 collagen (CTX), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and sclerostin. If the subject has had these blood tests performed in the preceding four months for protocol 12-1421, the blood tests will not be repeated. 18F sodium fluoride PET/CT bone scan will be performed. The protocol for the radionuclide imaging is attached.
All subjects will be started on transdermal 17-beta-estradiol 0.05 mg/d, which is equivalent to the standard dose of conjugated estrogen dose of 0.625 mg, for 4 weeks and increased to 0.1 mg for subsequent 4 weeks. Given the short duration of this study, progesterone will not be provided, as 8 weeks is not of sufficient duration to significantly increase the risk of endometrial cancer (Strom, Schinnar et al. 2006).
For the entire study, diuretics will be discontinued if it has been deemed safe to do so by the principle investigator or prescribing physician. Throughout the study, subject will maintain 900-1200 mg of dietary calcium daily. To monitor dietary calcium intake, a 5 day diet diary will be kept from Sunday to Thursday of the fourth week of each medication dose. Compliance of the study medication will be assessed by estrogen patch counts.
The following blood tests will be repeated 4 and 8 weeks after starting estradiol patch: complete metabolic panel (including calcium, phosphate, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, magnesium, creatinine, and albumin), 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, parathyroid hormone, estradiol, osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, C-telopeptides of type 1 collagen (CTX), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and sclerostin. In addition, 4 and 8 weeks after starting estradiol patch, 24 hour urine collection will be performed for calcium, phosphate, magnesium, citrate, oxalate, sodium, ammonia, sulfate, and creatinine.
