New Formulation NCT00244777 ↗ Introduction of Hypo-osmolar ORS for Routine Use Completed United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Phase 4 2002-12-01 The World Health Organization has very recently recommended the routine use of a hypo-osmolar ORS in the management of diarrhoeal diseases. This recommendation is based on the better efficacy of the hypo-osmolar ORS over the standard WHO ORS demonstrated in controlled clinical trials. The recommendation, however, also expressed the need for "careful monitoring to better assess risk, if any, of symptomatic hyponatraemia". There thus is a need for phase IV trials before the new solution is introduced into routine clinical practice to assess the risk in relatively large number of patient populations. The proposed study will be carried out at two different settings- at the urban settings of the Dhaka Hospital (60000 patients) and at the rural settings of the Matlab Hospital (15000 patients) of ICDDR,B. The hypo-osmolar rice or glucose-based ORS will be introduced as standard management of patients with diarrhoea . The hypo-osmolar ORS will contain 75 mmol /L of sodium instead of 90 mmol/L. Surveillance will be carried out to detect adverse events focusing on the occurrence of seizures or undue lethargy during hospitalization. Each episode of seizure or undue lethargy would be evaluated to determine if they are associated with abnormal levels of serum sodium or glucose, or fever. It has been estimated that about 3% (1,800) of patients initially admitted to the Short Stay Ward of the Dhaka Hospital, and 340 patients at the Matlab Hospital might require admission to the longer stay inpatient wards due to seizure or altered consciousness. Such patients would be thoroughly assessed including determination of their serum sodium and glucose, two common causes of seizures/altered consciousness, to determine if and to what extent they could be attributed to hyponatraemia.The results from this study would be used in planning and implementing the routine use of the new formulation of ORS at all Government, NGO and private health care facilities that treat diarrhoeal patients, in Bangladesh and in other countries.

New Formulation NCT01889173 ↗ Comparative Pharmacokinetics and Safety of 3 Different Formulations of TNX-102 2.8 mg SL Tablets and Cyclobenzaprine 5 mg Oral Tablet in Healthy Adults Completed Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Phase 1 2013-06-01 Very low dose (VLD) cyclobenzaprine at bedtime has shown promise as a treatment for fibromyalgia, but the chemistry of cyclobenzaprine requires new formulation technology for bedtime use. The present trial is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of 3 different formulations of TNX-102 2.8 mg SL Tablets (a new formulation of cyclobenzaprine designed to result in increased dosage precision and decreased potential for morning grogginess) and to compare the bio-availability of 3 different formulations of TNX-102 2.8 mg SL Tablets (TNX-102 with potassium phosphate, TNX-102-B with sodium phosphate, and TNX-102-C with trisodium citrate) to that of cyclobenzaprine (5 mg tablets).
OTC NCT04651088 ↗ Comparing Alkalinizing Agents Efficacy on Stone Risk in Patients on a Metabolically Controlled Diet Not yet recruiting University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Early Phase 1 2021-12-01 The purpose of this study is to compare over the counter and alternative prescription urinary alkalinizing agents to slow release potassium citrate in their ability to modify urinary parameters associated with stone formation.

NCT00120731 ↗ Effects of Potassium Citrate in Urine of Children With Elevated Calcium in Urine and Kidney Stones Withdrawn Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City N/A 2005-07-01 High amounts of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria) can cause development of kidney stones in children. Treatment for these children includes plenty of fluids, a low-salt diet and medications such as potassium citrate. A major advantage of potassium citrate, as compared to hydrochlorothiazide, is its lack of side effects. One problem the researchers and others have observed is that some children continue to form kidney stones despite correction of hypercalciuria with potassium citrate. One possible explanation is that in some individuals potassium citrate therapy results in an excessive elevation of urine pH, a situation that may predispose to calcium phosphate stone formation. In this study, the researchers will study the effects of potassium citrate on urine chemistries and acid-base balance in three groups of children aged 5-17 years: - children who are hypercalciuric stone formers; - healthy children without a history of hypercalciuria or kidney stones. Particular attention will be paid to try to identify those who develop a very high urine pH (>8) and the factors leading to this metabolic reaction. The researchers will try to learn whether it is the child's characteristics, the disease manifestations, the dose of the drug, or a combination of the above which may be the cause of the development of very alkaline urine. Based on the results, the researchers hope to be able to better "tailor" the individual treatment for each child with kidney stones.

Potassium citrate is a versatile compound with a wide range of applications in the healthcare, food and beverage, and cosmetics industries. This article delves into the clinical trials, market analysis, and future projections of potassium citrate, highlighting its significance and growth potential.

Clinical Trials and Medical Applications

Efficacy in Preventing Kidney Stones

One of the most notable clinical trials involving potassium citrate was conducted to evaluate its efficacy in preventing new stone formation in patients with idiopathic hypocitraturic calcium nephrolithiasis. The study, published in a medical journal, showed that patients treated with potassium citrate experienced a significant reduction in stone formation rates compared to those receiving a placebo. The treatment increased urinary citrate, pH, and potassium levels, leading to a marked decrease in stone formation[4].

Therapeutic Uses

Potassium citrate is used in various therapeutic applications, including as an electrolyte replenisher, excipient, protein supplement, and antacid. It is also utilized as a diuretic in clinical medicine to reduce fluid levels in the body without causing potassium loss.
