Official Title: Providing Intravenous Paricalcitol Treatment to the Sick and Poor Chronic Hemodialysis Patients With Severe Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Resistant to Existing Vitamin D Analogs

Study ID: NCT03023748

Interventions

Intravenous Paricalcitol

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study aims to provide intravenous paritcalcitol treatment for the sick and poor hemodialysis patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) resistant to existing vitamin D analogs therapy or with hypercalcemia precluding the use of existing vitamin D analogs. The study aims to evaluate the effect of paricalcitol on control of SHPT, biochemical parameters of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease, cardiac parameters, vascular calcification and stiffness parameters and nutrition status in patients receiving chronic hemodialysis treatment.

Detailed Description: This is a 2-year single-arm intervention study of which intravenous paricalcitol will be provided as a second-line treatment to 30 chronic hemodialysis patients with severe SHPT (defined as intact parathyroid hormone \[iPTH\] ≥ 800pg/mL) resistant to existing vitamin D analogs treatment (including rocaltrol and alfacalcidol) or with hypercalcemia (defined as serum calcium ≥2.56mmol/L) precluding the use of existing vitamin D analogs. The study aims to evaluate the control of SHPT, various biochemical parameters of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease, left ventricular mass and volumes, vascular calcification and stiffness parameters, handgrip strength and serum albumin with the use of intravenous paricalcitol in patients receiving chronic hemodialysis treatment.
