About this study

Official title: A One-year, Multicountry, Multicenter Study of Zemplar Injections in Patients With End Stage Chronic Kidney Disease, Undergoing Hemodialysis, Not Adequately Controlled With Oral Vitamin D Receptor Activator (Calcitriol or Alfacalcidol)

This is the post-marketing study conducted in two countries: Croatia and Serbia. In both countries Zemplar (paricalcitol) is the first injectable form of any Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) activator available for chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis. The evaluation of outcomes of VDR activator treatments in clinical practice is a major challenge in the management of this patient population. The aim of this post-marketing observational study is to obtain further data on the outcomes of Zemplar Injection administration during routine clinical use.

Read the detailed description

This study is a non-interventional, observational study in which Zemplar® Injection is prescribed in the usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) with regards to dose, population and indication. The study population consists of participants receiving hemodialysis in whom the diagnosis of secondary hyperparathyroidism has been established, and who are not adequately controlled with the oral VDR activator (calcitriol or alfacalcidol). Participants will be included via consecutive sampling. To be included, participants should have a clinical indication to initiate treatment with Zemplar® Injection due to: (1) a diagnosis of secondary hyperparathyroidism and (2) because they require a change in treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism (e.g. due to a lack of effectiveness of the previous treatment). Each participant will be observed during his/her Zemplar® Injection treatment regimen for a maximum period of 12 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving at Least a 40% Reduction of iPTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) From Baseline

    Measured: Baseline through 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Serum iPTH Level Less Than or Equal to 300 Picograms Per Milliliter (pg/mL)

    Percentage of subjects achieving a serum iPTH level less than or equal to 300 pg/mL on the final visit.

    Measured: Baseline through 12 months

  2. Time (Measured in Days) to Achieve Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) Levels Less Than or Equal to 300 pg/mL

    The average time (measured in days) to achieve target iPTH levels.

    Measured: Baseline through 12 months

  3. Clinically Meaningful Hypercalcemia, Defined as Corrected Serum Calcium Greater Than 11.0 Milligrams Per deciLiter (mg/dL) Taken at Two Consecutive Measurements.

    Number of participants with clinically meaningful hypercalcemia, defined as corrected serum calcium greater than 11.0 milligrams per deciLiter (mg/dL) taken at two consecutive measurements (visits) during the study.

    Measured: Baseline through 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parathyroid Hormone, run by Abbott at 21 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 21 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Croatia, Serbia. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Sep 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Subjects Achieving at Least a 40% Reduction of iPTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) From Baseline (time frame: Baseline through 12 months). 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 21 Sep 2011.
