About this study

Official title: Comparison of Medical Therapy (Oral Cinacalcet) Versus Surgical Therapy (Total Parathyroidectomy) on Vascular/Valvular Calcification in Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis Patients With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism - A Pilot Randomized Study

This is a pilot, prospective randomized controlled study with the primary objective to evaluate and compare medical treatment of severe SHPT, namely oral cinacalcet versus surgical treatment, that is, parathyroidectomy with forearm autografting, on the progression of coronary artery and valvular calcification and left ventricular mass index in endstage renal disease patients receiving peritoneal dialysis over 12 months. The change in arterial stiffening, left ventricular volume, aortic valve calcium score and bone mineral density, nutritional status and biochemical parameters, quality of life measures will be evaluated as secondary objectives of this study.

Read the detailed description

Patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) are frequently complicated with vascular calcification. There is some suggestion that subtotal parathyroidectomy may reduce or stabilize vascular calcium scores in dialysis patients. Experimental data suggests that SHPT plays an important role in mediating uraemic arterial disease and that parathyroidectomy largely prevented the development of calcification. Cinacalcet has emerged as a novel therapy for the treatment of SHPT and has been shown to reduce the need for surgical parathyroidectomy. However, their effects on vascular, cardiac, bone and nutrition status have not been evaluated and compared with parathyroidectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cinacalcet and Surgical total parathyroidectomy with forearm autografting in people with Kidney Failure and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 12 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hong Kong. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Change in coronary artery calcium score (time frame: 52 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01447368, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 12 Oct 2021.
