Active clinical trials for "Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary"

This study aims to provide intravenous paritcalcitol treatment for the sick and poor hemodialysis patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) resistant to existing vitamin D analogs therapy or with hypercalcemia precluding the use of existing vitamin D analogs. The study aims to evaluate the effect of paricalcitol on control of SHPT, biochemical parameters of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease, cardiac parameters, vascular calcification and stiffness parameters and nutrition status in patients receiving chronic hemodialysis treatment.

The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, and safety of Paricalcitol for secondary hyperparathyroidism with stage 3 and stage 4 chronic kidney disease in adults.

The objective of this study was to observe the safety of paricalcitol utilization in pediatric participants (ages 0 to 16 years old) being treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Participants were to be followed for a minimum of 3 months and up to approximately 36 months to monitor the incidence of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in blood).

Microwave ablation, as a new method to therapy secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT), now is developing rapidly. However, it is still unknown whether it is effective to accept microwave ablation for hemodialysis patients with mild-to-moderate SHPT. In this prospective, randomised control and paried clinical trial study, the investigators will observe the efficiency and safety of microwave ablation in hemodialysis patients with mild-to-moderate secondary hyperparathyroidism. The patients in age-matched control group will accept active Vitamin D therapy.

The purpose of this study is to compare short-term and long-term efficacy of total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation and total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation for Secondary hyperparathyroidism.

This is a single arm, open-labelled study to determine the effectiveness of combination Cinacalcet with Vitamin D analogue in the treatment of severe hyperparathyroidism in patients with ESRF on haemodialysis. Patients will be started on PO Cinacalcet 25mg OD + PO/IV active Vitamin D analogues adjusted by increments/decrements in steps of 1 mcg 3x per week every 1-4 weeks until the corrected calcium level is within 2.4-2.54 mmol/L. After iPTH has reached 2-9x ULN, patient enters maintenance phase. If serum calcium falls below 2.1mmol/L, active Vit D dose will be increased and if it is above 2.54 mmol/L, the dose will be decreased. Percentage reduction of iPTH levels from baseline at 6,12 and 24 months treatment and Percentage of patients achieving iPTH levels within the target range of 2-9x upper limit normal at 6, 12 and 24 months will be determined

Twelve-month, multicenter, intra-subject controlled (retrospective-prospective), open-label, active-treatment study to evaluate the dose-response and pharmacokinetics (PK) of cinacalcet HCl for the treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in paediatric subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis, followed by 12-month study extension.

Active forms of vitamin D and its analogs are used to treat elevated parathyroid hormone levels and bone disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD). More recent animal and human studies suggest that treatment with vitamin D may be associated with reduction of inflammation and urinary protein loss as well as reduction the activity of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) in addition to its effects on the bone metabolism. The investigators of this study have used the new technique of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU) to measure the flow of blood to the kidney in other human studies. In this study, the investigators will investigate if 3 month of treatment with an active form of vitamin D in individuals with kidney disease and high parathyroid hormone levels would reduce protein loss in the urine. The investigators will also look at the potential changes in blood flow to the kidney using CEU, kidney function (GFR), inflammation and activity of RAS in response to treatment with active form of vitamin D. Finally, they will examine the association between reduction of protein loss in the urine as shown in other studies with any of the other factors measured (e.g, change in blood flow or inflammation).

The purpose of this study is to assess health-related Quality of Life (QoL) changes in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) undergoing hemodialysis and receiving paricalcitol intravenous (iv).

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the percentage of cardiac patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 treated with paricalcitol IV achieving intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels in target range of Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) treatment guidelines (150 - 300 pg/mL) after 2 years.
