About this study

Official title: The Study of Efficacy and Safety of Calcium Sensing Receptor in Chronic Dialysis Patients

The dialysis patient of chronic kidney disease and parathyroid hormone levels greater than or equal to 800 Pg per ml were divided into two groups by randomized 1:1, one group to receive medication and a control group that did not receive the medication. By group to receive in those taking 25 mg per day to get the default dose and the dose is adjusted according to the levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone. By adjusting the dose of 25 mg every 3 weeks for a period of 12 weeks, the drug is between 25-75 mg dose , with a maximum dose of not more than 100 mg per day (weeks 3, 6 , 9).

After a follow-up treatment in weeks 12, 24 and 36 with an blood,ultrasound test parathyroid glands , abdominal x-ray side . To evaluate the changes without the drug .Unless the track during treatment the patients with low blood calcium levels over 8.4 mg per dL . No dose adjustment . regpara while if blood calcium levels less than 7.5 mg per deciliter . Must be stop taking medication for patients in the control group will receive standard treatment . Which consisted of dose vitamin D sterol and parathyroid surgery . Unable to control the level of parathyroid hormone with vitamin D sterol.

While participating in the research are not allowed to adjust the amount of vitamin D sterol in the two groups . But the amount of dialysate calcium phosphate binders and can be adjusted as appropriate to healthcare is fine .

Read the detailed description

The renal impairment is caused FGF-23 resistance to the congestion of phosphate and stimulate the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from the parathyroid gland causes secondary hyperparathyroidism. They also found that high levels of FGF-23 is also a risk factor of vascular calcification.

The Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) is a disorder caused by renal impairment cause abnormalities occurring in the body. Can be summarized into three main parts as follows : 1) The disorders of minerals and hormones (laboratory abnormalities) such as hyperphosphatemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism. 2 ) The disorders of bone (bone abnormalities) , formerly known as renal osteodystrophy 3) The vascular calcification which results happened increase the risk of heart disease and stroke (cardiovascular disease) , broken bones (fractures) and death rate (mortality).

The secondary hyperparathyroidism. PTH secretion from parathyroid glands are more than normal and a major cause of the congestion of phosphate , reduced levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25 (OH) 2D] in the blood and a decrease in blood calcium levels decreased calcium levels in the blood is low. will result in a calcium (calcium sensing receptor or CaSR) on parathyroid glands make parathyroid cell signaling and increased PTH secretion .

That PTH increased continuously in the long run will cause the destruction of the bone called bone decay know "osteitis fibrosa". Some patients with a bone fracture. Important characteristics of osteitis fibrosa is an increase of bone destruction(osteoclastic bone resorption). In addition, the bone marrow may also be found associated with bone marrow fibrosis which causes anemia and did not respond to erythropoietin.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • calcium sensing receptor agonistDrug

    Also called Regpara

    For the Regpara those taking 25 mg per day to get the default dose and the dose is adjusted according to the levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone. By adjusting the dose of 25 mg every 3 weeks for a period of 12 weeks, the drug is between 25-75 mg dose, with a maximum dose of not more than 100 mg per day (weeks 3, 6, 9).

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy and safety of Regpara in chronic dialysis patients with high blood levels of parathyroid

    Regpara those taking 25 mg per day to get the default dose and the dose is adjusted according to the levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone. By adjusted dose of 25 mg every 3 weeks (weeks 3, 6, 9) for a period of 12 weeks, the drug is between 25-75 mg dose, with a maximum dose of not more than 100 mg per day .

    Measured: Baseline to 36 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy of the REGPARA in reducing the FGF23 level

    The Regpara those taking 25 mg per day to get the default dose and the dose is adjusted according to the levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone. By adjusted dose of 25 mg every 3 weeks (weeks 3, 6, 9) for a period of 12 weeks, the drug is between 25-75 mg dose, with a maximum dose of not more than 100 mg per day .

    Measured: baseline - 36 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing calcium sensing receptor agonist in people with Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 28 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 Thailand. 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?

Efficacy and safety of Regpara in chronic dialysis patients with high blood levels of parathyroid (time frame: Baseline to 36 week). 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 NCT02056730, 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 28 Mar 2017.
