About this study

Official title: The Effect of Paricalcitol Versus Placebo on Plasma N-Terminal-proBNP in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Nephropathy

The primary objective is to assess the impact of three months of treatment with an active vitamin D analogue on a risk marker for excess overall mortality and cardiovascular morbidity/mortality in Type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic kidney disease. The hypothesis is that active vitamin D analogue treatment reduces the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 1 diabetic kidney disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Paricalcitol in people with Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetic Nephropathy, run by Peter Rossing at 1 site in Denmark.

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 6 inclusion and 17 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 13 Apr 2012. 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 Denmark. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Change in plasma NT-proBNP (time frame: 7 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 13 Apr 2012.
