Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Paricalcitol Injection With Maxacalcitol Injection in Adult Japanese Chronic Kidney Disease Subjects Receiving Hemodialysis With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (NCT NCT01341782)

NCT ID: NCT01341782

Last Updated: 2013-06-06

Results Overview

The target iPTH range was 60-180 pg/mL, based on the average of the last 3 weeks of treatment, and with no hypercalcemia during the treatment phase. Hypercalcemia was defined as at least 1 corrected calcium value \> 11.0 mg/dL or at least 2 corrected calcium values ≥ 10.5 mg/dL. iPTH was measured before the first dialysis session of each week and analyzed by the central laboratory.

Measure
Paricalcitol
Participants received paricalcitol at an initial dose of 2 µg, and maxacalcitol placebo administered 3 times per week at each hemodialysis via intravenous catheter for 12 weeks. After 2 weeks the dose could be adjusted ± 1 µg based on protocol-specified criteria up to a maximum of 7 µg.
Maxacalcitol
Participants received maxacalcitol at an initial dose of 5 µg (intact parathyroid hormone \[iPTH\] \< 500 pg/mL at Screening) or 10 µg (iPTH ≥ 500 pg/mL at Screening), and paricalcitol placebo administered 3 times per week at each hemodialysis via intravenous catheter for 12 weeks. After 2 weeks the dose could be adjusted ± 2.5 µg based on protocol-specified criteria up to a maximum of 20 µg.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: iPTH measured during the last three weeks of treatment (Weeks 11, 12, and 13). Calcium measured throughout the study (Weeks 1-13).

Population: The per-protocol set (PPS) consists of all randomized patients who completed at least 8 weeks of treatment and met the conditions specified by the subject classification (i.e., no violation of inclusion/exclusion criteria) that occurred before the study blind was broken.

The target iPTH range was 60-180 pg/mL, based on the average of the last 3 weeks of treatment, and with no hypercalcemia during the treatment phase. Hypercalcemia was defined as at least 1 corrected calcium value \> 11.0 mg/dL or at least 2 corrected calcium values ≥ 10.5 mg/dL. iPTH was measured before the first dialysis session of each week and analyzed by the central laboratory.
