Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of paricalcitol capsules for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in pediatric subjects ages 10 to 16 years with Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), receiving peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis through the evaluation of the incidence of hypercalcemia.

    Dosage and administration details
    Starting dose of paricalcitol was determined by the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) value (iPTH/120) from prior to Day 1, rounded down to the nearest whole number, not to exceed 16 µg 3 times weekly, no more frequently than every other day. Decisions to hold, maintain, increase, or decrease a dose were based on the iPTH, phosphorus, and calcium results generated from the most recent visit and within target Kidney Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiatives (KDOQI) levels.

    Number of Subjects With Adverse Events
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. For more details on adverse events please see the Adverse Event section.

    The purpose of the amendment was to revise the definition of full immunosuppressant therapy, so otherwise eligible transplant patients were not excluded.
    21 Aug 2012
    The purpose of the amendment was to add a maximum iPTH value for entry into the Washout Period and increased the upper limit for corrected calcium for entry into the Dosing Period. In addition, the fasting requirement for blood draws was removed at all points in the study at the request of the investigators.
    29 Aug 2012
    The purpose of the amendment was to clarify that positive drug test results, due to controlled drugs prescribed for a medical need, were not exclusionary
    19 Jun 2013
    The purpose of the amendment was to revise the number of study sites to accommodate additional sites outside of the United States and add equivalent values in the units mmol/L for current calcium and phosphorus in the units mg/dL to comply with local standards.
    31 Oct 2013
    The purpose of the amendment was to modify the protocol so that subjects on hemodialysis could be included in the study.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The sample size of the study was limited to 13 subjects and there was no comparator group, so the study was not designed to analyze efficacy.
