Effect of Paricalcitol on Endothelial Function in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Patients (the PENNY Study)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Paracalcitol and placebo for Chronic Kidney Disease.. Completed, enrolled 88 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that Paricalcitol, an active form of vitamin D, improved endothelial function in stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. A secondary aim of this trial was to study the relationship between endothelial function and plasma/serum and genetic biomarkers of bone mineral disorders in CKD (BMD-CKD) and renin angiotensin-aldosteron system (RAS) (angiotensin II and plasma renin activity).
