Who may be able to join

  • Subject was at least 18 years of age, diagnosed with CKD Stage 5 and undergoing HD or PD.

  • For those subjects taking phosphate binders prior to the study, the subject had to have been on a stable (type and dose) phosphate binder at least 4 weeks prior to the Pretreatment Phase.
  • For entry into the Pretreatment Phase, the subject must have had a calcium level <= 10.5 mg/dL and a CaxP level <= 65 mg2/dL2.
  • For entry into the Treatment Phase, the subject must have had iPTH >= 300 pg/mL (determined by Nichols iPTH assay), a calcium level of 8.0 to 10.5 mg/dL, inclusive, and CaxP <= 65 mg2/dL2.
  • Subject voluntarily signed and dated an informed consent, approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), after the nature of the study was explained and the subject had the opportunity to ask questions. The informed consent was signed before any study-specific procedures were performed or any medications were withheld.
  • Additional criteria for HD subjects included the following: the subject was diagnosed with CKD Stage 5 and must have been on maintenance HD 3 times a week (TIW) for at least 2 months prior to the Screening Phase and was expected to remain on HD for the duration of the study.
  • Additional criteria for PD subjects, included the following: the subject was diagnosed with CKD Stage 5 and must have been on continuous PD (either continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis [CCPD], continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [CAPD], or a combination of the 2) 7 days per week for at least 2 months prior to the Screening Phase and was expected to remain on this PD regimen for the duration of the study.

Who cannot join

  • Subject had a history of an allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to drugs similar to the study drug.
  • Subject received a partial parathyroidectomy within 1 year prior to the Screening Phase.
  • Subject had acute renal failure within 3 months of the Screening Phase.
  • Subject had chronic gastrointestinal disease, which in the investigator's opinion, may have resulted in clinically significant gastrointestinal malabsorption.
  • Subject had taken aluminum-containing phosphate binders for > 3 weeks in the last 3 months prior to the Screening Phase, or required such medications for > 3 weeks in the study.
  • Subject had a current malignancy (with the exception of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin), or clinically significant liver disease, in the opinion of the investigator.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Subject had a history of drug or alcohol abuse within 6 months prior to the Screening Phase.
  • Subject had evidence of poor compliance with diet, medication or HD/PD that may have interfered, in the investigator's opinion, with adherence to the protocol.
  • Subject had participated in any investigational drug or device study within 4 weeks prior to the Treatment Phase.
  • Subject was taking calcitonin, maintenance IV or oral glucocorticoids, cinacalcet, bisphosphonates, vitamin D compounds (other than study drug), or other drugs that may have affected calcium or bone metabolism, other than females on stable estrogen and/or progestin therapy.
  • Subject was known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive.
  • For any reason, subject was considered by the investigator to be an unsuitable candidate to receive Zemplar.
  • Additional exclusion criteria for PD subjects, were: Subject had active peritonitis within 1 month prior to the Screening Phase; Subject had more than 1 episode of peritonitis within 4 months prior to the Screening Phase.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Zemplar Capsule in people with Kidney Disease, run by Abbott at 16 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The efficacy endpoint is achievement of two consecutive > or = 30% decreases from baseline in iPTH levels. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2011.
