What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Response During Efficacy Assessment Period

    To evaluate the efficacy of repeated dosing with 900 mcg per week of CTAP101 extended release (ER) Capsules versus placebo in raising mean serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) to ≥50 ng/mL and in reducing mean plasma intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) by at least 30% from pre-treatment baseline.

    Measured: 26 weeks

  2. Total 25-hydroxyvitamin D Response Analysis During Efficacy Period

    Summary of participants with mean serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D ≥50 ng/mL at the end of treatment

    Measured: 26 weeks

  3. Number of Participants With Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) Response During Efficacy Assessment Period

    Summary of participants who experienced a reduction in mean plasma iPTH by greater than 30% from the pre-treatment baseline

    Measured: 26 weeks

  4. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile (Cmax) of Serum Calcifediol

    To assess Cmax of serum calcifediol after a single dose of 900 mcg at the start of the study (Single Dose PK Period), and a repeat dose of 300 mcg at the end of the study (Repeat Dose PK Period)

    Measured: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 hours post-dose (single and repeat dose)

  5. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile (Tmax) of Serum Calcifediol

    To assess Tmax of serum calcifediol after a single dose of 900 mcg at the start of the study (Single Dose PK Period), and a repeat dose of 300 mcg at the end of the study (Repeat Dose PK Period)

    Measured: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 hours post-dose (single and repeat dose)

  6. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile (AUC0-t) of Serum Calcifediol

    To assess AUC0-t of serum calcifediol after a single dose of 900 mcg at the start of the study (Single Dose PK Period), and a repeat dose of 300 mcg at the end of the study (Repeat Dose PK Period)

    Measured: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 hours post-dose (single and repeat dose)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacodynamic Analysis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D

    Effect of CTAP101 on 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Calcifediol Oral Capsule in people with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Due to Renal Causes and Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by OPKO Health, Inc. at 18 sites in United States.

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 0 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Mar 2025). 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?

Number of Participants With Response During Efficacy Assessment Period (time frame: 26 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Apr 2026.
