About this study

To examine the effects of two types of active vitamin D (calcitriol and doxercalciferol) and two phosphate binders (sevelamer and calcium carbonate) on the bone disease and blood tests of children with kidney failure

Read the detailed description

Pediatric patients treated with CCPD who displayed biochemical and bone biopsy proven secondary hyperparathyroidism were randomly assigned to one of 2 vitamin D analogues (calcitriol or doxercalciferol) and one of two phosphate binders (sevelamer or calcium carbonate) in a two by two factorial designed prospective trial. Serum biochemical measurements were obtained at baseline and monthly throughout the 8 months of the trial. Bone biopsy was obtaine at baseline and repeated at study completion.

Being tested
1 alpha D2, 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3, Sevelamer HCl, Calcium Carbonate
Medical subject headings
Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary, Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 1 alpha D2, 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3 and Sevelamer HCl in people with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Renal Osteodystrophy, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bone Formation Rate (time frame: 8 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00560300, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jan 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
