Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia(IIH) is a rare,genetic disorder of mineral metabolism. Biallelic loss of functions mutations of CYP24A1, the gene encoding the 24-hydroxylase enzyme that represents the principal pathway for inactivation of vitamin D metabolites, cause the most common and severe form of IIH.Investigators have preliminary data supporting a novel therapeutic approach to suggest rifampin as an investigational drug to induce over-expression of CYP3A4, an important enzyme that provides an alternate catabolic pathway for inactivation of vitamin D metabolites. In this study, investigators will recruit 5 patients with biallelic inactivating mutations of CYP24A1. Participants will be followed prospectively for a total 6-11 months. This will include 2 months of observation, 2 months of receiving the starting dose of rifampin, followed by 2 month washout phase. Efficacy of the starting dose of rifampin will be determined prior to proceeding only in non responders to the escalation dose of rifampin 10mg/kg/day.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia(IIH) is a rare,genetic disorder of mineral metabolism characterized by severe hypercalcemia and/or hypercalciuria, suppressed serum levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), elevated levels of the active vitamin D metabolite, 1,25(OH)2D, and nephrocalcinosis. Biallelic loss of functions mutations of CYP24A1, the gene encoding the 24-hydroxylase enzyme that represents the principal pathway for inactivation of vitamin D metabolites, cause the most common and severe form of IIH.

Investigators have preliminary data supporting a novel therapeutic approach to suggest rifampin as an investigational drug to induce over-expression of CYP3A4, an important P450 microsomal enzyme that is expressed in the liver and intestine. When CYP3A4 is induced, the increased enzyme activity provides an alternative catabolic pathway for inactivation of vitamin D metabolites. The purpose of this study is to obtain results and support for an open label, escalating dose study to assess the effect, safety, and tolerability of once daily oral rifampin for two months in participants with IIH due to inactivating mutations in CYP24A1.

In this study, Investigators will recruit 5 patients with biallelic inactivating mutations of CYP24A1. Participants will be followed prospectively for a total 6-11 months. This will include 2 months of observation, 2 months of receiving the starting dose of rifampin, followed by 2 month washout phase. Efficacy of the starting dose of rifampin will be determined prior to proceeding only in non responders to the escalation dose of rifampin 10mg/kg/day. In addition to determining if this treatment is efficacious in reducing elevated serum and urinary calcium in patients, it will be determined if there is a dose effect of rifampin. As well, detailed measurements of vitamin D metabolites will determine if rifampin reduces hypercalcemia through increased CYP3A4 activity.

Study Design

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This is a phase 1 pilot study whereby all participants start the study at a starting dose 5mg/kg/day (at study visit 2) for two months, and those that do not respond to 5mg/kg/day, otherwise known as non-responders, will receive a higher dose of 10 mg/kg/day (at study visit 4) for another two months. Recruited patients will be followed prospectively for a total of 6-11 months. This will include 2 months of observation, 2 months of receiving the starting dose of rifampin of 5mg/kg/day with a maximum dose of 600mg/day followed by a 2 month washout phase. The efficacy of the starting dose of rifampin will be determined prior to proceeding only in non-responders to the higher dose of 10 mg/kg/day with a maximum dose of 600 mg/day.
