About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy,Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Pilot Trial Of Paricalcitol and Cholecalciferol(Vitamin D3) in the Treatment Of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients After ROUX-EN-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

Evaluate the efficacy of paricalcitol, cholecalciferol, and placebo in the reduction of parathyroid hormone in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Paricalcitol and Cholecalciferol in people with Gastric Bypass and Parathyroid Hormone, run by Kerstyn C. Zalesin, M.D. at 1 site 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 13 inclusion and 15 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 22 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Mar 2017). 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?

The Primary Outcome Measure With iPTH (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 22 Mar 2017.
