What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ParicalcitolDrug

    Also called Zemplar

    1 capsule/day for 6 months. On Month 1 and Month 3 it can be increased up to 2 capsules/day or decreased down to 1 capsule/48 hours.

  • CalcifediolDrug

    Also called Hidroferol

    5 drops/day during 6 months. On Month 1 it can be increased up to 7 drops/day. If this occurs then, on Month 3, it can decreased to 5 drops/day or continue 7 drops/day until end of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Paricalcitol and Calcifediol in people with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Due to Renal Causes, run by Fundación Senefro at 16 sites in Spain.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 19 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Spain. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Nov 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Patients With iPTH Serum Concentration >110 pg/mL. (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Nov 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
