Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the use of Zemplar (paricalcitol) capsules in real-life clinical practice in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a single arm, open, multicenter, non-interventional, post marketing observational study, which has been conducted in 24 sites in Greece, under normal clinical practice and as per the locally approved Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) of study medication (oral paricalcitol). Eligible patients were followed up for a 12-month period after enrollment. All study activities were consistent with European Union (EU) directive 2001/20/EC section for non-interventional studies.

In this study, paricalcitol was prescribed on an on-label basis in an everyday setting to observe drug actions in a distinct geography (Greece with \> 250 days/year of sunny days) as well as in a significant subpopulation (Chronic Kidney Disease \[CKD\] stages 3-5 transplanted patients). Dose tolerability, treatment effects, as well as maintenance of results were registered for a 12-month period in order to obtain experience in the long term use of paricalcitol capsules. Furthermore, in centers where additional blood parameters were examined as part of clinical routine, these were recorded and analyzed.
