Brief Summary

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

This study aims to determine the daily rate of endogenous synthesis of oxalate using carbon 13 oxalate isotope tracer technique and a low-oxalate controlled diet.

Detailed Description

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

Urinary oxalate excretion is derived from both dietary sources and endogenous synthesis. This study will use low-oxalate controlled diet and intravenous infusion of the isotope tracer carbon 13 oxalate, timed with blood and urine collections, to determine the daily rate of endogenous oxalate synthesis in non-stone forming volunteers and in subjects with calcium oxalate kidney stones. A DXA scan will be used to assess body composition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Constant infusion of 13C2-oxalate

Subjects who have passed screening, will consume a low-oxalate, normal calcium controlled diet for 5 days total. On Days 3 and 4, subjects will collect two 24-hour urines. On Day 5, they will receive a carbon 13 oxalate infusion which will occur at a constant rate for 6 hours, in the fasted state, following a priming dose. Hourly urine and twice hourly blood samples will be collected during the 6 hours. Meals will be resumed at the end of the infusion and timed urine collections will take place at home until the next day. A DXA scan will be performed to assess body composition at another date.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low-oxalate controlled diet

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Participants will consume a diet that is controlled in its contents of protein, carbohydrates, fat, calcium, oxalate, vitamin C and sodium for 5 days. Participants will be asked not to take any dietary supplements, exercise strenuously, or consume food or drink that is not provided to them.

Primed, continuous intravenous infusion of 13C2-oxalate

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will receive a continuous intravenous administration of carbon-13 oxalate, a naturally occurring form of oxalate, over the course of several hours until steady-state is achieved, using an IV catheter, while remaining fasting.
