Active clinical trials for "Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary"

Safety, Efficacy, PK and PD of CTAP101 (calcifediol) ER Capsules for SHPT in HD Patients VDI

The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR6508 for Chinese patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism of chronic kidney disease treated by maintenance hemodialysis.

This study evaluates the metabolic and clinical results of two well recognized and accepted surgical techniques in the management of severe hyperparathyroidism in patients under regular dialysis treatment.

The purpose of this non-inferiority study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a mineral and bone disease treatment protocol based on calcitriol to one based on paricalcitol in hemodialysis patients using revised Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) parathyroid hormone targets.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of paricalcitol in participants with moderate to severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) undergoing hemodialysis who are resistant to treatment with calcitriol.

This is a prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate change of cardiovascular calcification after parathyroidectomy in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis compared with control group on conservative treatment.

The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of cinacalcet for reducing the plasma intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level by ≥ 30%.

Patients with kidney failure on dialysis can be successfully transplanted. However, many of them do not attain a normal kidney function and/or present a slow deterioration of kidney function after transplantation. As a consequence, they can develop an endocrine disorder called hyperparathyroidism, which can cause bone disease and a high risk of bone fractures. In spite of the known bone disease and hyperparathyroidism, there is no well defined treatment for these patients. Moreover, kidney transplant recipients present a higher mortality rate compared to the general population, and the principal cause of death is cardiovascular disease. Dialysis patients are known to have extensive cardiovascular calcifications and increased vascular stiffness, and these factors have been closely associated with cardiovascular mortality. The effect of vitamin D on bone health is well known in the general population. Many studies showed a reduction in fracture rate in post-menopausal women and older men receiving vitamin D and calcium supplements. Vitamin D analogues are also commonly used to treat hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients. Finally, vitamin D has been suggested to have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system and to reduce mortality in dialysis patients. Hectorol® is a vitamin D analog which has been demonstrated to effectively treat hyperparathyroidism in dialysis and pre-dialysis patients. The effects of vitamin D supplementation on bone disease, hyperparathyroidism and cardiovascular function in kidney transplant recipients have not been properly studied. Whether Hectorol® therapy helps reducing the severity of bone disease and improving vascular function in kidney transplant recipients is still unknown.

The 1st phase of the study will assess the acute biochemical response of PTH, calcium and phosphorus to orally administered doses of cinacalcet once (60mg) or twice (30mg x 2) per day. The 2nd phase of the study designed to evaluate the long term effects of cinacalcet on BMD (bone mineral density)and the levels of PTH, calcium, phosphorus as well as its ability to control secondary hyperparathyroidism without simultaneous administration of other vitamin D compounds.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and efficacy of thrice weekly intravenous (IV) administration of etelcalcetide in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients receiving hemodialysis who had completed 12 weeks of treatment with etelcalcetide in parent study 20120331 (KAI-4169-005; NCT01414114).
