About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety of Paricalcitol Capsules in Pediatric Subjects Ages 10 to 16 With Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease Receiving Peritoneal Dialysis or Hemodialysis
The objective is to evaluate the safety of paricalcitol capsules in pediatric subjects, ages 10 to 16 years old, with Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (kidney failure) receiving peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis and being treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Subjects will be in the dosing period of the study for 12 weeks in order to evaluate the incidence of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in blood). Approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled and all 12 will receive paricalcitol capsules.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
paricalcitolDrug
Also called ABT-358, Zemplar
Paricalcitol soft capsule. Starting dose of paricalcitol was determined by the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) value (iPTH/120) from prior to Day 1, rounded down to the nearest whole number, not to exceed 16 µg 3 times weekly, no more frequently than every other day. Decisions to hold, maintain, increase, or decrease a dose were based on the iPTH, phosphorus, and calcium results generated from the most recent visit and within target Kidney Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiatives (KDOQI) levels.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Paricalcitol | Experimental | Open-label paricalcitol (maximum dose of 16 µg), 3 times weekly (no more frequently than every other day) for 12 weeks. Receives: Drug: paricalcitol |

Number of Subjects With Adverse Events
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. For more details on adverse events please see the Adverse Event section.
Measured: From first dose of study drug until 30 days following last dose of study drug (up to 16 weeks).
Number of Subjects With Potentially Clinically Significant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings
12-lead ECGs were recorded after the subject had been in the supine position for at least 5 minutes. The number of subjects with potentially clinically significant ECG findings, as determined by the investigator, is presented.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing paricalcitol in people with End-Stage Renal Disease and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott).
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 6 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 2 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Nov 2016). 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 With Hypercalcemia (time frame: Day 1 to Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01382212, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 2 Jul 2018.
