New study aims to cut diagnostic delays for rare bone disease
NCT ID NCT05596539
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study follows 130 adults with hypophosphatasia, a rare bone disorder, to understand how they are diagnosed and what symptoms they have. Researchers hope to find ways to reduce the long delay between first symptoms and diagnosis. No treatment is being tested; this is purely an observation and data collection effort.
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 study could help doctors diagnose hypophosphatasia earlier in adults, leading to better management.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to any direct medical advances or changes in care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * men and women, * aged 18 and over, with no upper age limit, who have had a total alkaline phosphatase value of less than 40 IU/l on at least 3 occasions, or at least a total alkaline phosphatase value below 40 IU/L and evidence of ALPL gene polymorphism * with at least one rheumatological symptom. Exclusion Criteria: * transient hypophosphatasia: absence of confirmation of a value below 40 IU/l on at least 3 samples, lack of genetic confirmation * secondary hypophosphatasia according to the expert rheumatologist (drugs, endocrine disease, other genetic disease...).
