NCT ID: NCT03063190 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Vitamin D Deficiency

Cholecalciferol Supplementation in Restless Leg Syndrome in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

RLS
Start date: March 31, 2022
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is sleep disorder characterized by an unpleasant feeling in the lower limbs, which can be accompanied by paresthesias, and need for urgent movement of the legs. Its diagnosis is clinical, based on an International Committee of the Study of RLS (International Restless Legs Syndrome Study) questionnaire. Its prevalence is about 5-15% in the general population, being twice as frequent in women and with a tendency to increase incidence with aging. In the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population, mainly in patients on dialysis, the prevalence increases by up to 70%. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with RLS and active vitamin D supplementation seems to improve RLS and severity. It is seems, studies on the role of vitamin D supplementation in CKD population are missing. The clinical-scientific hypothesis of this study is that replacement of vitamin D (cholecalciferol) will improve the symptoms of RLS. As parathyroidectomy can relieve RLS, the aim of researchers is to randomize patients with CKD on dialysis to receive cholecalciferol or placebo in 2 distinct groups: secondary hyperparathyroidism and adynamic bone disease.

NCT ID: NCT01453634 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT)

2007
Start date: January 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Open-label, pharmacodynamic, safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy study of Lunacalcipol Injection.

NCT ID: NCT01426724 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Disease

Effects of Vitamin D on Renal Blood Flow, Proteinuria and Inflammation in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Start date: September 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Active forms of vitamin D and its analogs are used to treat elevated parathyroid hormone levels and bone disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD). More recent animal and human studies suggest that treatment with vitamin D may be associated with reduction of inflammation and urinary protein loss as well as reduction the activity of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) in addition to its effects on the bone metabolism. The investigators of this study have used the new technique of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU) to measure the flow of blood to the kidney in other human studies. In this study, the investigators will investigate if 3 month of treatment with an active form of vitamin D in individuals with kidney disease and high parathyroid hormone levels would reduce protein loss in the urine. The investigators will also look at the potential changes in blood flow to the kidney using CEU, kidney function (GFR), inflammation and activity of RAS in response to treatment with active form of vitamin D. Finally, they will examine the association between reduction of protein loss in the urine as shown in other studies with any of the other factors measured (e.g, change in blood flow or inflammation).

NCT ID: NCT01421407 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for End Stage Renal Disease

Efficacy and Safety of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Device to Treat Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Start date: August 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those who are undergoing long-term haemodialysis treatment. sHPT is characterized by persistently elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and major disturbances in phosphorus and calcium metabolism. When glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls, the phosphorus clearance decreases significantly, leading to phosphorus retention. The resulting hyperphosphatemia is thought to be one of the principal causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism which is a very early complication of patients with CKD. Its diagnosis and treatment is crucial in the management of such patients.The treatment of the sHPT of CKD's patient includes dietary phosphate restriction, the use of phosphate binders, correction of hypocalcaemia, the use of vitamin D and its derivatives. The calcimimetic agent cinacalcet hydrochloride may be also used in combination with vitamin D. While the majority of patients can be controlled in this way, medical therapy is not always successful in achieving adequate control of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Oral medications (calcimimetics, recently developed phosphate binders, and active vitamin D derivatives amount to very high monthly costs, and have efficacy limitations as well as side-effects. HIFU may become a valuable alternative treatment that help control secondary hyperparathyroidism in selected patients presenting with enlarged parathyroid gland(s) visible at ultrasonography,. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HIFU treatment in chronic haemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism presenting with enlarged parathyroid gland(s) which are visible at ultrasonography and for whom medical therapy has been unsuccessful.
