| NCT00123461 ↗ | Study of Safety and Efficacy of Doxercalciferol in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 3 or 4, and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism | Completed | Genzyme, a Sanofi Company | Phase 4 | 2005-07-01 | The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Hectorol® (doxercalciferol) capsules in treating patients with Stage 3 or Stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) with secondary hyperparathyroidism who have vitamin D levels in the normal range. Previous studies with doxercalciferol were conducted in patients who had low levels of vitamin D. |
| NCT00285467 ↗ | Cholecalciferol Versus Doxercalciferol in the Treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Chronic Kidney Disease | Completed | Indiana University School of Medicine | N/A | 2006-01-01 | The majority of patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) (stages 3 and 4) develop secondary hyperparathyroidism (2°HPT), but the optimal therapy to control hyperparathyroidism in this group is unknown. The National Kidney Foundation presented guidelines in 2003 recommending vitamin D supplementation for vitamin D insufficient patients and active vitamin D therapy in patients with sufficient levels. These guidelines are based on opinion since there are no significant trials to determine if vitamin D supplementation is effective in this population. The active vitamin D metabolites doxercalciferol, paricalcitol, and calcitriol have been shown to effectively suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH), but have not been compared with vitamin D supplementation with a calciferol (ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol). Beyond hyperparathyroidism, small studies suggest vitamin D replacement in vitamin D insufficient non-CKD subjects result in improved pain, feeling of well being, blood pressure and strength. In this proposed study we wish to directly compare the effectiveness of cholecalciferol versus doxercalciferol in suppressing elevated PTH levels in subjects with CKD not on dialysis who have vitamin D insufficiency in a three month study. Secondary endpoints will be change in blood pressure. |
| NCT00418600 ↗ | A Phase 4, Conversion Study of Hectorol® Injection to Hectorol® Capsules in Stage 5 CKD Patients on Dialysis | Completed | Genzyme, a Sanofi Company | Phase 4 | 2006-11-01 | Hectorol is a safe and effective treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients. Hectorol (doxercalciferol capsules) is indicated for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis and in pre-dialysis patients with Stage 3 or Stage 4 chronic kidney disease. Hectorol (doxercalciferol injection) is indicated for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. This protocol will determine clinically appropriate doses of Hectorol (doxercalciferol capsules) when converting subject from Hectorol (doxercalciferol injection.) The study will enroll hemodialysis patients that have been controlled on intravenous Hectorol. the information gained from this study will be a useful guide for physicians in managing CKD Stage 5 patients for whom a change from intravenous to oral vitamin D administration is appropriate. |
| NCT00454350 ↗ | A Phase 4 Pharmacokinetic Study of Hectorol Injection and Zemplar Injection in CKD Subjects on Hemodialysis | Completed | Genzyme, a Sanofi Company | Phase 4 | 2007-02-01 | This study will measure serum levels of the active Vitamin D compound that circulates in hemodialysis subjects treated with either doxercalciferol injection (Hectorol®) or Zemplar® (paricalcitol injection). |
| NCT00463021 ↗ | A Phase 4 Study to Determine Dosing of Hectorol® Capsules When Converting From Zemplar® Injection | Completed | Genzyme, a Sanofi Company | Phase 4 | 2007-04-01 | Protocol HECT00306 aims to determine clinically appropriate doses of Hectorol (doxercalciferol capsules) when converting from Zemplar (paricalcitol injection) for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in Stage 5 chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. |
