About this study

Official title: A Phase 2A, Open-label, Dose-ranging and Pharmacokinetic Study of an Oral Vitamin D Compound (DP001) in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients on Hemodialysis

This is an open-label, dose-ranging study of the vitamin D analog DP001 in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The primary goals of this 4-week Phase 2A study are to identify an appropriate starting dose of DP001 to be used in subsequent studies in this population and for evaluation of pharmacokinetics of DP001 in ESRD patients.

Read the detailed description

Vitamin D hormone or analogs, when bound to the vitamin D receptor, suppress PTH synthesis by binding to a negative regulatory element in the promoter of the PTH gene, and have been used successfully in the clinic to reduce elevated PTH levels in dialysis patients and other CKD patients. DP001 is a highly potent vitamin D compound.

In two clinical trials testing DP001 in postmenopausal women, oral DP001 reduced PTH levels in a dose-dependent manner, with a dose of 220 ng lowering PTH by at least 30% in a majority of patients following one or six months of daily dosing.

This study is an open-label, dose-ranging study of DP001 in ESRD patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Cohorts of up to 6 patients will be enrolled and administered oral DP001 at 110 ng three times per week for four weeks. Laboratory data from each cohort will be assessed and used to determine a dose for the next cohort. Up to 5 dose-ranging cohorts will be studied, with the goal of identifying an appropriate dose for a randomized, placebo-controlled study of oral DP001 for 12 weeks. The data will also be used to select an appropriate dose for an additional cohort of 12 open-label patients in the current study in which the pharmacokinetics of DP001 following a single dose and after repeated doses will be studied.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DP001 in people with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, run by Deltanoid Pharmaceuticals at 6 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 16 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 intact parathyroid hormone levels in blood (time frame: Baseline and 4 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 16 Aug 2017.
