About this study

The objective of this non-interventional study is to confirm that with standard OsvaRen® treatment it is possible to achieve in at least 60% of the patients the levels of phosphorus, total calcium, and iPTH seen in the CALMAG study also in the normal clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

Only a small fraction of haemodialysis patients meet the published NKF-KDOQI standards for calcium, phosphorus, calcium x phosphorus product and intact parathyroid hormone. One of the reasons is the still difficult and insufficient therapy with phosphate binders. Even though calcium containing phosphate binders have been proven to be effective, they are reported to lead in certain patients to hypercalcaemia. This observational study therefore not only evaluates the efficacy of the phosphate binder OsvaRen® (containing calcium acetate and magnesium carbonate) but also the frequency of untoward events in daily practice as well as to the state of hyper-/ hypoparathyroidism as represented by serum iPTH values and the practice patterns used to adjust to and to fully exploit the qualities of the different available phosphate binders. In addition, the compensatory actions of the physicians, such as adaptation of the dialysate calcium or the combination with non-calcium containing phosphate binders, are going to be monitored. In order to receive additional safety data in the context of daily practice, the frequency of untoward events related to the treatment will be documented and analysed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperphosphataemia and ESRD, run by Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH at 24 sites in 4 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 6 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in Germany, Denmark, Spain, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

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?

Serum phosphorus (time frame: 12 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 NCT01424787, 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 6 Mar 2015.
