AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Males or females age 6 months to 65 years.
* at least one mutations of CYP24A1
* Serum and/or urinary calcium above the normal reference range for age
* Serum PTH concentration \<20 pg/ml
* Elevated or normal serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Parents/guardians or subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, may be non-compliant with study schedules or procedures.
* Allergy to rifampin or related medications
* Current therapies with medications that have significant drug-drug interactions with rifampin, defined as a medication considered to interact with CYP3A4 or CYP3A5 and either induce or inhibit expression or function of these P450 enzymes. By "drug-drug" interactions we are looking for medications that will affect metabolism or action of rifampin as exclusionary, not medications that will be affected by rifampin.
* Pregnancy or breastfeeding
* Laboratory abnormalities that indicate clinically significant hepatic, or renal disease:
* Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) \> 2.0 times the upper limit of normal Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT) \> 2.0 times the upper limit of normal Total bilirubin \> 2.0 times the upper limit of normal Creatinine \> 2.0 times the upper limit of normal
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
