[Results of clinical trials with the cation exchange preparation campanyl in the therapy and metaphylaxis of calcium-containing urinary calculi (author's transl)].

Abstract

The efficacy of the cation exchange preparation Campanyl (T1286) was tested in the treatment and metaphylaxis of calcium-containing urinary calculi. For this purpose, in vitro experiments, animal exeriments, orienting clinical studies in 79 patients, and a long term clinical trial in 42 patients over 12 months were undertaken; 22 of the latter patients are also still being treated with the cation exchange preparation, the observation period for 15 patients being 3 1/2 years and 2 1/2 years for 7 patients. As a result of these studies a lowering of the medium calcium excretion and a reduction of calculus discharge by more than half was achieved in the patients being treated with the cation exchanger, without restriction of calcium in the diet. There was not yet seen litholysis. Serious side effects or an influence on the serum electrolytes was not recorded with Campanyl (T1286).
