| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | 
| •To assess the percentage of patients with appropriate control plasma levels of calcium, phosphorus, calcium x phosphorus product and intact parathormone following correction of the 25-OH vitamin D by oral administration of cholecalciferol (D-Cure ®). |  | 
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | 
| • To assess the percentage of hemodialysed patients with 25-OH vitamin D deficiency (≤ 30 ng/mL) • To assess the effectiveness of weekly administration of 25.000 UI D-cure ® for 3 months to correct 25-OH vitamin D deficiency (> 30 ng/mL)
 • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of D-cure ® weekly dosing in the treatment of 25-OH vitamin D deficiency among dialysis patients
 • To explore associations between the 25-OH vitamin D levels and biological and clinical markers associated to mineral and bone disorder.
