Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with hypophosphatemia (< 0.8 mmol/L) who are hospitalized in ICU, oncology, or rheumatology and have a clinical indication for phosphate supplementation.

Probably not a fit

Patients with kidney disease stage 3 or higher, active infection, pregnancy, current active vitamin D treatment, recent Ferinject therapy, or other exclusion criteria may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies

This interventional study examines how phosphate supplementation influences circulating FGF23 concentrations in adults with hypophosphatemia who are hospitalized for intensive care, oncology, or rheumatology care. FGF23 is a key regulator of phosphate balance, and prior data suggest intake changes alter its levels; however, data in hypophosphatemia are limited. The trial involves obtaining blood samples to measure FGF23 before and after phosphate administration to characterize the relationship between supplementation and hormone response. Eligible patients have low phosphate levels and a clinical need for supplementation, while several conditions (such as advanced kidney disease, active vitamin D therapy, or infection) exclude participation. Results could inform how phosphate therapy modulates phosphate homeostasis via FGF23 in this population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could clarify how phosphate therapy modulates FGF23, potentially guiding safer and more effective supplementation strategies.

How similar studies have gone: Previous data in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets suggest phosphate supplementation can raise FGF23, but broader data in hypophosphatemia are limited, making this investigation relatively novel.
