Filter by:The purpose of this trial is to determine the safety and tolerability of ascending single and multiple oral doses of LEO 27847 in secondary hyperparathyroidism patients.
The purpose of this study is to see if Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is common in people who receive a kidney transplant. Patients with HPT often have high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and may have large parathyroid glands in the neck. Patients with HPT can develop bone disease (osteodystrophy). This bone disease can cause bone pain, fractures, and poor formation of red blood cells. Other problems from HPT may include increases in blood levels of calcium (hypercalcemia) and low blood levels of phosphorus (hypophosphatemia). The high calcium levels may cause calcium to deposit in body tissues. Calcium deposits can cause arthritis (joint pain and swelling), muscle inflammation, itching, gangrene (death of soft tissue), heart and lung problems, or kidney transplant dysfunction (worsening of kidney transplant function). The purpose of this research study is to better understand the evolution of Hpt in people during the first 12 months after receiving a kidney transplant.
The aim of this post-marketing observational study is to obtain further data on the long term use, safety and efficacy of selective Vitamin D Receptor Activator's as it is prescribed in the normal clinical setting and according to the approved Summary of Product Characteristics for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients in Turkey. The relation of the safety data to PTH (Parathyroid hormone) suppression over time will be evaluated. Also the number and incidence of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia will be recorded.
Active parathyroid glands among renal dialysis patients contribute to calcified and hardened blood vessels. Such damage to the blood vessels, in turn, takes a significant toll in terms of cardiovascular disease. Calcimimetics has been suggested to lower the risk of vascular calcification. Role of cinacalcet was demonstrated in animal model but human data are lacking. The investigators designed an open label pilot study to evaluate the effect of cinacalcet in 20 peritoneal dialysis patients with inadequately controlled secondary hyperparathyroidism despite standard treatment. The primary outcome is the aortic pulse wave velocity at 26 and 52 months after cinacalcet treatment.
Evaluate the efficacy of paricalcitol, cholecalciferol, and placebo in the reduction of parathyroid hormone in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). Assess changes, if any, in measures of self-assessed well-being attributable to paricalcitol after RYGB. Evaluate the rates of hypercalcemia, kidney stones, gastrointestinal side effects, and other organ system adverse effects of paricalcitol, cholecalciferol, and placebo in patients after RYGB
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of single rising doses of etelcalcetide in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of KAI-4169 in healthy young males.
The objective of this study was to observe the safety of paricalcitol utilization in pediatric participants (ages 0 to 16 years old) being treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Participants were to be followed for a minimum of 3 months and up to approximately 36 months to monitor the incidence of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in blood).
This study was performed to determine whether calcitriol provides a therapeutic advantage to alfacalcidol for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in ESRD patients.
The aim of the study is to compare the results of a parathyroid hormone (PTH)suppression test using a single oral tablet of cinacalcet in two groups of subjects: 1- a group of healthy adults in whom the results of the test with cinacalcet will be compared with those of the standardized PTH suppression test with intravenous calcium loading; 2- a group of patients with proven primary hyperparathyroidism in whom the results of the test with cinacalcet will be compared with those obtained during the same test, in healthy controls.
