Osteoporosis Hypomagnesemia | Drug: EffCaMgCit Other: Placebo | Phase 3 |
In the current proposal, the investigators wish to conduct a 1-year treatment trial, directed at obtaining more definitive evidence that EffCaMgCit overcomes all three complications of PPI.
Aim 1. To test the hypothesis that EffCaMgCit would prevent/treat osteoporosis, by suppressing parathyroid function and bone resorption, thereby stabilizing bone mineral density (BMD). The critical endpoint will be overall change in BMD T-Score and Z-Score from baseline to the end of study. Secondary endpoints will be the change in serum PTH and C-terminal telopeptide (CTX).
Aim 2. To test the hypothesis that EffCaMgCit would prevent/treat hypomagnesemia/magnesium deficiency, by providing bioavailable magnesium. The critical endpoint will be the overall change in the fractional excretion of magnesium (FEMg) and free muscle magnesium by MRS from baseline to the end of study. Secondary endpoints will be the change in serum and urinary magnesium.
Aim 3. To test the hypothesis that EffCaMgCit would reduce the risk of CKD during PPI use by averting putative hypomagnesemia/magnesium deficiency and neutralizing acid load. The investigators propose that PPI causes hypomagnesemia/magnesium deficiency and confers an acid load, - factors implicated for incident CKD and its progression. EffCaMgCit is expected to avert incident CKD by providing bioavailable magnesium and alkali load. Critical endpoints will be the overall change in endogenous creatinine clearance, urinary alpha-1 microglobulin, and a measure of acid-base status.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 56 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | To provide adequate blinding, each medication sachet will be labelled with the study name, IRB number, principal investigator's name, expiration date and identification number of the study subject. Labels will be applied to the appropriate medication sachets once the subject has been randomized and assigned to a treatment group. Labelling of the sachets will be done by personnel who are not engaged in patient care. |

- Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) T-Score at 1 Year [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) T-Score from baseline to 1 Year as measured by dual photon absorptiometry. The range, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), for T-Score is: -1 and above = Normal, Between -1 and -2.5 = Osteopenia, -2.5 and below = osteoporosis.
- Change From Baseline in the Fractional Excretion of Magnesium (FEMg) at 1 Year [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change From Baseline in the Fractional Excretion of Magnesium (FEMg) at 1 Year as measured by the ratio of magnesium clearance and creatinine clearance, using 24-h urinary magnesium and creatinine and corresponding serum magnesium and creatinine obtained post meal/load.
- Change from baseline in endogenous creatinine clearance at 1 year. [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change from baseline in endogenous creatinine clearance at 1 year. Endogenous creatinine clearance will be obtained by using 24-h urinary creatinine and post-meal/load venous blood sample ((uCr, mg/24hr) / (sCr, mg/dL * 14.4)) as well as using the Cockcroft and Gault formula ([(140 - age) x TBW] / (Scr x 72) (x 0.85 for females)).
- Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Z-Score at 1 Year [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Z-Score at 1 Year as measured by dual photon absorptiometry. Outcome is considered positive if the Z Score after one year of treatment becomes less negative (less than -2). There is no specific score range for the Z Score.
- Change From Baseline in Free Muscle Magnesium at 1 Year [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change From baseline in free muscle magnesium at 1 year as assessed by measuring intracellular Mg in a calf muscle, by using 31P (Phosphorous) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
- Change in Serum Parathyroid Function (PTH) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change from baseline in serum parathyroid function (PTH) at 1 year will be measured by Biomerica Intact-PTH ELISA.
- Change in C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change from baseline in serum bone resorption marker C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) at 1 year will be measured by lab finding utilizing ELISA CTX-I (CrossLaps).
- Change in Serum Magnesium [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change from baseline in serum magnesium at 1 year will be measured by ion selective electrode.
- Change in Urine Magnesium [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year ]Change from baseline in urine magnesium at 1 year measured by atomic absorption.
