What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

A first-in-human study of KK8123 in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia.

Do I need to stop my current medications for the KK8123 trial?

You may need to stop certain medications before joining the trial. Specifically, you should not use vitamin D, oral phosphate, certain antacids, and some other medications within 14 days before starting the study. If you are on chronic pain medications, you must keep the same dose and schedule throughout the trial.

How does the drug KK8123 differ from other treatments for hypophosphatemia?

KK8123 is unique because it is a human monoclonal antibody targeting FGF23, a protein involved in phosphate regulation, which is different from traditional treatments that use phosphate supplements and vitamin D. This approach directly addresses the underlying cause of certain types of hypophosphatemia by reducing the excessive action of FGF23, potentially offering more effective management of the condition. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug KK8123 for treating hypophosphatemia?

Research shows that intravenous phosphorus therapy, similar to KK8123, effectively increases phosphorus levels in patients with severe hypophosphatemia, making it a safe and effective treatment option. ^{1 6 7 8 9}

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a study of 10 adult patients with severe hypophosphatemia, intravenous phosphorus therapy using 9 mmole of monobasic potassium phosphate (KH2PO4) every 12 hours significantly improved serum phosphorus levels, with all patients exceeding 1 mg/dL by 36 hours and six achieving normal levels by 48 hours.

The treatment was found to be safe, as serum potassium levels remained normal and only one patient experienced a decline in serum calcium, indicating that this approach is effective for managing severe hypophosphatemia in patients with normal kidney function.

In a study involving 47 critically ill patients with hypophosphatemia, aggressive intravenous administration of potassium phosphate was found to be 98% effective in correcting phosphate levels, regardless of the infusion speed.

The rapid administration of potassium phosphate was deemed safe, with no significant adverse events reported, although one patient experienced a mild increase in serum potassium levels.

Severe hypophosphatemia, defined as phosphate levels below 1.0 mg/dl, can occur as a complication of acute pancreatitis, even in cases not related to alcohol abuse, which is a rare finding in the medical literature.

The study highlights the importance of recognizing hypophosphatemia as a potential complication of pancreatic inflammation, as both conditions can significantly impact various physiological systems in the body.

Hypophosphatemia is a common issue in ICU patients, particularly those undergoing renal replacement therapies (RRT), which can lead to serious complications like muscle weakness and respiratory failure.

There are currently no specific guidelines for treating hypophosphatemia in critically ill patients, but using phosphate-containing solutions during RRT could help prevent this electrolyte imbalance and its associated risks.

A revised weight-based phosphorus-dosing algorithm was evaluated in 79 critically ill trauma patients, showing that both moderate and high doses effectively increased serum phosphorus levels, with significant improvements observed by day 2.

The dosing algorithm was found to be safe, as there were no significant changes in serum concentrations of magnesium, sodium, potassium, or ionized calcium during the study, indicating stable metabolic parameters.

The nationwide survey estimated an annual incidence of 117 cases of FGF23-related hypophosphatemic diseases in Japan, with tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) and X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) being the most common forms.

While complete tumor resection can improve symptoms in TIO patients, treatments for XLH, such as phosphate and active vitamin D3, do not fully normalize phosphate levels, indicating a need for better management strategies for genetic cases.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by renal phosphate wasting and is linked to mutations in the PHEX gene, which affects phosphate regulation and is associated with complications like osteophytes and osteoarthritis.

FGF23 plays a crucial role in XLH by reducing the expression of sodium-phosphate co-transporters in the kidneys, leading to hypophosphatemia despite normal levels of vitamin D, highlighting a novel mechanism of phosphate regulation in the body.

KRN23, a novel anti-FGF23 antibody, effectively increases serum phosphate levels in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) when administered subcutaneously every 28 days, with a significant peak serum phosphate increase observed 7-10 days post-dosing.

The pharmacokinetics of KRN23 show a long elimination half-life of 17.8 days, indicating sustained effects, and the treatment demonstrated a maximum effect on serum phosphate levels, suggesting its potential as a long-term therapy for managing XLH.

This case series highlights three instances of hypophosphataemia (HP) in severely malnourished children, emphasizing its potential severity and association with other electrolyte imbalances, such as hypokalaemia and hypocalcaemia.

The study suggests that HP can complicate conditions like sepsis and pneumonia in malnourished children, indicating the need for careful monitoring and treatment of phosphorus levels to improve outcomes and reduce mortality in this vulnerable population.
