Brief Summary

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

Primary Objective:

Evaluate the effect of Hectorol® capsules in reducing elevated levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH).

Secondary Objectives:

* Evaluate the safety profile of Hectorol® capsules versus Rocaltrol® (calcitriol) capsules.
* Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 after administration of Hectorol®.

Detailed Description

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hectorol

Hectorol (Doxercalciferol) will be administered orally two to three times weekly dependent on patient age. A dose titration scheme is used to individualize the dose to the patient's iPTH management.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Doxercalciferol (GZ427397)

Intervention Type DRUG

Pharmaceutical form: capsule

Route of administration: oral

Rocaltrol

Rocaltrol (Calcitriol) will be administered orally seven days/week. A dose titration scheme is used to individualize the dose to the patient's iPTH management.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or female aged 5 to 18 years old.
* Weight ≥15 kg.
* Chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 3 or 4 not on dialysis, defined as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 15 and 59 mL/min/1.73m\^2 (established by Schwartz equation) at Week -2 visit.
* Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) value \>100 pg/mL for CKD Stage 3 or \>160 pg/mL for CKD Stage 4, at Week -2 visit.
* Signed informed consent/assent form.

Exclusion Criteria

* The patient has a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level \<30 ng/mL at screening.
* The patient has a corrected calcium ≥10 mg/dL at the Week -2 visit.
* The patient has a serum phosphorus \>4.5 mg/dL for children 13 to 18 years of age; \>5.8 mg/dL for children 5 to 12 years of age at the Week -2 visit.
* The patient is anticipated to require maintenance hemodialysis within 3 months.
* The patient used cinacalcet or vitamin D sterol therapies such as calcitriol, doxercalciferol, or paricalcitol within 14 days prior to the baseline visit.
* The patient has a history of, or active, symptomatic heart disease within 12 months prior to the baseline (Week 0) visit.
* The patient currently has a chronic gastrointestinal disease (ie, malabsorption, severe chronic diarrhea, chronic ulcerative colitis, or ileostomy).
* The patient currently has primary hyperparathyroidism or has had a total parathyroidectomy.
* The patient has an active malignancy.
* The patient is unable to swallow a capsule in size similar to the Hectorol® and Rocaltrol® capsules.
* The patient has a history of sensitivity or allergy to doxercalciferol, calcitriol or other vitamin D analogs.
* The patient currently uses aluminum or magnesium-based binders.
