Can a simple scan reveal why muscles tire in phosphate diabetes?
NCT ID NCT06921720
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses a special MRI technique to measure energy molecules (ATP and phosphate) in the leg muscles of people with phosphate diabetes, a condition that causes bone pain and muscle fatigue. By comparing measurements at rest and during exercise, researchers hope to uncover the link between low phosphate levels and muscle weakness. The goal is to find objective markers of muscle health that could improve understanding of the disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide objective biomarkers to assess muscle metabolism in phosphate diabetes, potentially guiding future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no intervention, so it cannot directly improve outcomes. The findings may not translate into clinical benefits.

Inclusion Criteria: * Inclusion Criteria for Patients: * Patient ≥ 10 years old with phosphate diabetes, i.e., genetically confirmed XLH or phosphate diabetes of another origin characterized by hypophosphatemia with a decreased Tm/GFR. * Patient has given consent to participate in the study. * Signed consent (by both legal representatives for minor patients). * Patient regularly followed up within the pediatric nephrology services at the Femme Mère Enfant hospital and the nephrology-functional exploration services at the Edouard Herriot hospital. Inclusion Criteria for Pediatric Controls: * Patient aged 10 to 17 years, without chronic kidney disease, without hypophosphatemia, without muscular abnormalities, and without growth disorders. * Patient has given consent to participate in the study. * Signed consent (by both legal representatives for minor patients). * Patient regularly followed up within the pediatric nephrology services at the Femme Mère Enfant hospital. Inclusion Criteria for Adult Controls: * Patient without chronic kidney disease, without hypophosphatemia, without muscular abnormalities, and without malnutrition. * Patient has given consent to participate in the study. * Signed consent. * Patient regularly followed up within the renal functional exploration services at the Edouard Herriot hospital. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant, parturient, or breastfeeding women * Individuals deprived of liberty by a judicial or administrative decision * Individuals receiving psychiatric care * Individuals admitted to a healthcare or social institution for purposes other than research * Adults under legal protection (guardianship, curators) * Individuals not affiliated with a social security system or benefiting from a similar scheme * Subjects participating in another interventional study with an exclusion period still in effect at pre-inclusion * General contraindications for MRI: wearing a pacemaker/ICD (implantable cardiac device) or mechanical heart valves not MRI-compatible, presence of non-MRI-compatible equipment, presence of metallic objects.
