A Phase 4 Randomized Multicenter Open Label Trial of Paricalcitol Versus Calcitriol for Efficacy and Safety in Stage 3 or 4 Ckd Patients With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Paricalcitol and Calcitriol for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Kidney Disease. Completed, enrolled 110 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) occurs in many patients with kidney disease and leads to bone disease. Active forms of vitamin D, calcitriol and paricalcitol, treat SHPT, but may have different effects on blood calcium. This study will randomize patients with SHPT and stage 3 or 4 CKD to treatment with calcitriol or paricalcitol, and monitor patients for the incidence of high blood calcium, and effectiveness of SHPT treatment.
