Evaluation of Treatment With Zemplar Capsules in the Therapy of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT)

September 12, 2014 updated by: AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott)

Evaluation of Treatment With Zemplar Capsules in the Therapy of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 3 or 4 in the Conditions of Routine Clinical Practice. A Multi-country, Multi-center Post Marketing Observational Study in Routine Clinical Use in Eastern European Countries.

The aims of this post-marketing observational study (PMOS) are to evaluate the time period needed to achieve > 30% decrease of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) compared to the initial values and to provide data on the tolerability and compliance of treatment with Zemplar (paricalcitol) capsules in the therapy of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or 4 in conditions of routine clinical practice.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a non-interventional, observational, open-label, multi-country, multicenter post-marketing study in which Zemplar (paricalcitol) is prescribed in the usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization. Follow up visits will occur 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after screening.

Zemplar capsules will be prescribed in usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization with regards to dose, population and indication as well as local guidelines. The decision to prescribe or not prescribe Zemplar capsules would be made prior to entry of a subject in the study.

Follow-up of patients should enable 6 patient visits during this period.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients 18 years of age or older
  • Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 and 4 and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT)
  • Patients with Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) > 70 pg/mL and with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or with Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) > 110 pg/mL and with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4
  • Patients clinically indicated for treatment with Zemplar capsules
  • Patient must provide the authorization to use his/her data for statistical evaluation before entering to the post marketing observational study (PMOS). Local Law requirements are to be followed

Group / Cohort
Chronic Kidney Disease, Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
All eligible participants with chronic kidney disease stage 3 and 4 and secondary hyperparathyroidism treated with Zemplar (paricalcitol) capsules according to the local marketing authorization

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to Achieve a > 30% Decrease From Baseline in Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) Values
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 12 Months
Mean time to achieve a > 30% decrease in intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) compared with the initial values at baseline (screening visit).
From Baseline up to 12 Months
Percentage of Participants With Calcium x Phosphorus Product (CxP) Values > 65 mg˄2/dL˄2 or 5.24 mmol˄2/L˄2
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 12 Months
The percentage of participants with Calcium x Phosphorus Product (CxP) values > 65 mg˄2/dL˄2 or 5.24 mmol˄2/L˄2 at any timepoint during followup, up to 12 months.
From Baseline up to 12 Months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a > 30% Decrease From Baseline in Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH)
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 12 Months
The percentage of participants with a decrease in iPTH levels > 30% at any timepoint during followup, up to 12 months.
From Baseline up to 12 Months
Percentage of Participants With Hypercalcemia
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 12 months
The percentage of participants with hypercalcemia (Calcium > 2.6 mmol/L [10.5 mg/dL]) at any timepoint during followup, up to 12 months.
From Baseline up to 12 months
Mean Weekly Dose of Zemplar (Paricalcitol)
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 12 months
Compliance was assessed using the mean weekly total dose of Zemplar (paricalcitol).
From Baseline up to 12 months
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Adverse events were collected from the screening visit to month 12 (total 13 months); Serious Adverse Events were collected from the time that informed consent was obtained to 30 days after last dose of study drug (up to 13 months)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) is any noxious and undesired reaction related to an experimental drug or experiment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life-threatening, results in or prolongs hospitalization, results in congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, spontaneous or elective abortion, or requires intervention to prevent a serious outcome. AEs were rated for severity as either Mild: transient and easily tolerated; Moderate: causes discomfort and interrupts usual activities; or Severe: causes considerable interference with usual activities, may be incapacitating or life-threatening. AEs related to Zemplar (paricalcitol) were assessed as being either probably or possibly related by the investigator.
Adverse events were collected from the screening visit to month 12 (total 13 months); Serious Adverse Events were collected from the time that informed consent was obtained to 30 days after last dose of study drug (up to 13 months)
