E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a disorder of renal phosphate wasting, defective bone mineralisation, and impaired growth plate or endochondral ossification caused by inactivating mutations in the PHEX gene (phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome), and is the most common form of heritable rickets. |

• Evaluate the effect of KRN23 therapy in improving rickets in children with XLH compared with active control (oral phosphate/active vitamin D) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary Efficacy Objectives:
Evaluate the effects of KRN23 as compared with active control on:
• Growth velocity and lower extremity deformity
• Pharmacodynamic markers that reflect the status of phosphorus homeostasis, including serum 1,25(OH) 2 D, serum and urinary phosphorus, ratio of renal tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR), and tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP)
• Biochemical markers of bone turnover that reflect rickets severity (alkaline phosphatase [ALP])
• Walking ability and patient-/parent-reported pain, fatigue, and physical function/mobility
Pharmacokinetic Objective:
Assess the PK of KRN23 throughout the dosing cycle
Safety Objective:
Evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of KRN23 in the treatment of children with XLH (aged 1 to ≤12 years), including adverse events (AEs) (e.g., nephrocalcinosis), as compared with active control, and immunogenicity profile |

Screening and/or Baseline Visit
** If 25(OH)D levels are below the normal range, 25(OH)D supplementation will be prescribed.
Assuming a subject meets all other eligibility requirements, the subject may be rescreened after a minimum of 7 days of treatment. |

Data Monitoring Committee
An independent DMC that includes members with expertise in metabolic bone disease, cardiology, and nephrology, and the conduct of clinical trials in children will act in an advisory capacity to
monitor subject safety on a routine basis throughout the trial. The DMC will meet at least twice a year during the active-controlled period. The roles and responsibilities of the DMC will be defined in the
DMC Charter. |
