It is a minimal risk study of an over-the-counter beverage called Moonstone, which is commercially available. This study is considered preparatory for the RO-1 and is not intended to produce a definitive outcome regarding kidney stones.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\nThe study will enroll patients with calcium, cystine and uric acid stone composition. Patients will be at least 18 years of age, with no upper limit of age. Patients will sign an informed consent form (ICF). We will seek participants who have experienced any USD events including renal colic with spontaneous stone passage, emergency room visits, or urological interventions, in the previous 5 years in order to encourage enrollment and adherence to the protocol. We will include all racial and ethnic groups, and both men and women. Besides stone composition, standard demographic data including gender, age, and body mass index will be collected.\n\nPatients who are taking alkalinizing medications for prevention of USD including KCit, potassium bicarbonate, sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate will be eligible for participation in the study. The patient's usual dose, however, will be discontinued for the 2 weeks which make up the two study periods. This maneuver will not be an important risk for stones for several reasons: 1) the period off alkali altogether will be one week; 2) the one week of Moonstone will offer a significant amount of alkali, likely as much or more than the patients' usual prescription doses; 3) participants will continue to adhere to fluid intake and dietary prescriptions.\n\nThese data are intended to be included in an RO-1 resubmission due November 5. We will therefore aspire to include 10 patients with calcium stones, 3 patients with cystine stones and 3 patients with uric acid stones.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nInvestigators will exclude patients taking thiazides (indapamide, hydrochlorothiazide, and chlorthalidone). Our reasoning is that most calcium stone patients are not taking thiazides and such patients may be total body potassium-depleted (not necessarily reflected by serum potassium. Potassium depletion reduces citrate excretion (through effects on intracellular pH in the proximal tubule) so that patients taking thiazides could start with lower urine citrate excretion and have less of an increment in the Moonstone periods. The order of the periods might affect the magnitude of urine chemistry changes in those two periods.\n\nPatients with chronic kidney disease tend to have reduced urinary citrate excretion due to mild metabolic acidosis. We will therefore exclude patients with estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 calculated by the CKD-EPI equation. eGFRs will have been measured in the preceding year at a time when urinary tract obstruction due to USD was not present. We will also exclude women who are pregnant or nursing and people with any medical, psychiatric, debilitating disease/disorder, or social condition that in the judgment of the investigator would interfere with or serve as a contraindication to adherence to the study protocol or ability to give informed consent, or affect the overall prognosis of the patient.\n\nThe study will also exclude patients with a previous history of gastrointestinal intolerance, or any other intolerance of alkalinizing preparations. The proportion of USD patients who do not tolerate KCit is not clear. The Cochrane review on this topic states that there are adverse events reported with citrate therapy, but the effect was not statistically significant, in part because of incomplete reporting. Based on our experience, we usually cite this problem to affect about 10% of stone formers, with older people more frequently affected. We therefore do not think this exclusion criterion will have a sizable effect on enrollment."}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04697706', 'briefTitle': 'Effect of a High Citrate Beverage on Urine Chemistry in Urinary Stone Disease', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'NYU Langone Health'}, 'officialTitle': 'Effect of a High Citrate Beverage on Urine Chemistry in Urinary Stone Disease', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '20-01153'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Study period "Water"', 'description': 'Participants will take in 1L of tap water per day plus ad lib, self-selected fluids.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Water']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Study period "Moonstone"', 'description': "Participants will take one packet of Moonstone powder reconstituted in 500 ml water, twice a day, to total 1 L per day (66 meq of potential alkali/day) plus ad lib fluids.
