Do You Have X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH)?

A clinical trial is being conducted at several research centers to determine if an investigational agent from Kyowa Hakko Kirin Pharma, Inc. improves the health of adult patients by alleviating the complications associated with XLH.
Eligible participants will be provided study treatment at no charge and may receive compensation for their involvement.
To be eligible for this study you must:
  • Be at least 18 years of age;
  • Have been diagnosed with XLH; and
  • Agree not to change diet or exercise routine for the duration of the study.
Phase I is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-dose, dose-escalation study of KRN23 in X-linked Hypophosphatemia. This first phase is intended to assess the safety and tolerability of KRN23 after a single intravenous or subcutaneous administration in XLH patients.
Phase II is a non-randomized, open-label study intended to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated doses of KRN23 administered subcutaneously in adult subjects with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH).
