Phosphate therapy's hidden toll on aging bodies revealed
NCT ID NCT03771105
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how long-term phosphate therapy affects the kidneys, blood vessels, and heart in people with two rare bone disorders: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH). Researchers will measure hormone levels and check organ function in 30 participants aged 13 and older. The goal is to understand the risks of current treatments and how they might influence healthy aging.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Children above the age of 13 years * Younger and older adults with XLH and HHRH with confirmed NPT2c mutations affecting both copies of the NPT2c gene (HHRH) or one copy of the PHEX gene (XLH) * Be willing to provide access to prior medical records to determine eligibility including imaging, biochemical, medical, and surgical history data * Be willing and able to complete all aspects of the study * Be willing to adhere to the study visit schedule and comply with the assessments (in the opinion of the investigator). Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects will be excluded, if they are children younger than age 13 years * Subjects that have other diseases likely to impact bone and mineral metabolism (e.g. renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal disorders, and malignancy), * Subjects that are currently pregnant, * Subjects that received medical therapy or developed any condition, which in the opinion of the investigator, could present a concern for either subject safety or difficulty with data interpretation. * Subjects will be excluded from Aim 2, if they are unable to tolerate supplemental phosphate.
