Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether mass spectrometry analysis of stable (non-radioactive) calcium isotopes in plasma or urine samples can help in the diagnosis of bone and calcium disorders.

Full detailed description

The aim of this pilot study is to explore the diagnostic value of MC-ICP-MS (multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) or TIMS (thermal ionization mass spectrometry) measurement of endogenous stable calcium isotopes in plasma and urine samples in patients seen during routine clinical care at the outpatient clinics (incl. Center for Metabolic Bone Diseases) of the University Hospitals Leuven.

Outcomes

What the study measures.

Primary outcomes

Likelihood ratio (LR) of urinary calcium δ44/40 Ca (‰) values for diagnosing negative skeletal calcium balance

Time frame · follow-up will vary on clinical basis, with expected averages of 1 year (for osteoporosis) to 3 months (for other conditions)

The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of the new test will be compared to expert clinical diagnosis as the gold standard. This diagnosis is established during follow-up and based on clinical observations, bone mineral density results/changes, bone turnover markers and response to treatments.

Secondary outcomes

Likelihood ratio (LR) of plasma calcium δ44/40 Ca (‰) values for diagnosing negative skeletal calcium balance

Time frame · follow-up will vary on clinical basis, with expected averages of 1 year (for osteoporosis) to 3 months (for other conditions)

The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of the new test will be compared to expert clinical diagnosis as the gold standard. This diagnosis is established during follow-up and based on clinical observations, BMD results, bone turnover markers and response to treatments.

Area under the receiver-operator curve (AUROC) of calcium δ44/40 Ca (‰) values compared to bone turnover markers, with expert clinical diagnosis as the golden standard

Time frame · follow-up will vary on clinical basis, with expected averages of 1 year (for osteoporosis) to 3 months (for other conditions)

Osteocalcin and bèta-CTx (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen) will be measured.
