Active clinical trials for "Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary"

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cinacalcet after a single oral dose in children aged 28 days to less than 6 years with chronic kidney disease receiving dialysis.

Active parathyroid glands among renal dialysis patients contribute to calcified and hardened blood vessels. Such damage to the blood vessels, in turn, takes a significant toll in terms of cardiovascular disease. Calcimimetics has been suggested to lower the risk of vascular calcification. Role of cinacalcet was demonstrated in animal model but human data are lacking. The investigators designed an open label pilot study to evaluate the effect of cinacalcet in 20 peritoneal dialysis patients with inadequately controlled secondary hyperparathyroidism despite standard treatment. The primary outcome is the aortic pulse wave velocity at 26 and 52 months after cinacalcet treatment.

Evaluate the efficacy of paricalcitol, cholecalciferol, and placebo in the reduction of parathyroid hormone in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). Assess changes, if any, in measures of self-assessed well-being attributable to paricalcitol after RYGB. Evaluate the rates of hypercalcemia, kidney stones, gastrointestinal side effects, and other organ system adverse effects of paricalcitol, cholecalciferol, and placebo in patients after RYGB

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability and efficacy of multiple ascending doses of etelcalcetide in hemodialysis patients for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT).

The purpose of this study is to observe the effectiveness and safety of the use of a low initial dose regime (iPTH/100) in chronic kidney disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (PTH>300pg/mL) and that require dialysis at least 3 times per week.

This study will measure serum levels of the active Vitamin D compound that circulates in hemodialysis subjects treated with either doxercalciferol injection (Hectorol®) or Zemplar® (paricalcitol injection).

This is a multicenter, multiple-dose, single-arm, open-label study to assess the impact on serum corrected calcium levels when switching patients from cinacalcet to etelcalcetide (AMG 416).

To examine efficacy and safety after 12-week administration of ASP7991 in secondary hyperparathyroidism patients undergoing hemodialysis

To evaluate the effect of PTH lowering on erythropoietin consumption in calcitriol-resistant patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease.

The purpose of this study was to compare two different initial dosing schemes for the administration of paricalcitol in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism: the already in use iPTH/80 scheme, and an iPTH/120 scheme, which corresponds to the immediately lower dose, based on current instructions on paricalcitol dose adjustment. We studied the effectiveness of the two dosing schemes in achieving a target iPTH level (150 - 300 pg/mL)
