A Phase 3, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety of Paricalcitol Capsules in Pediatric Subjects Ages 10 to 16 With Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease Receiving Peritoneal Dialysis or Hemodialysis
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating paricalcitol for End-Stage Renal Disease and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism. Completed, enrolled 13 participants.
Detailed Summary
The objective is to evaluate the safety of paricalcitol capsules in pediatric subjects, ages 10 to 16 years old, with Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (kidney failure) receiving peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis and being treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Subjects will be in the dosing period of the study for 12 weeks in order to evaluate the incidence of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in blood). Approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled and all 12 will receive paricalcitol capsules.

Timeline
Interventions
Paricalcitol soft capsule. Starting dose of paricalcitol was determined by the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) value (iPTH/120) from prior to Day 1, rounded down to the nearest whole number, not to exceed 16 µg 3 times weekly, no more frequently than every other day. Decisions to hold, maintain, increase, or decrease a dose were based on the iPTH, phosphorus, and calcium results generated from the most recent visit and within target Kidney Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiatives (KDOQI) levels.
