A Phase 4, Conversion Study of Hectorol� Injection to Hectorol� Capsules in Stage 5 CKD Patients on Dialysis
Information source: Sanofi
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Intervention: Hectorol® (doxercalciferol capsules) (Drug); doxercalciferol capsules, Hectorol® (Drug); doxercalciferol capsules, Hectorol® capsules (Drug)
Phase: Phase 4
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Genzyme, a Sanofi Company Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Medical Monitor, Study Director, Affiliation: Genzyme, a Sanofi Company
Summary
Hectorol is a safe and effective treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis
patients. Hectorol (doxercalciferol capsules) is indicated for the treatment of secondary
hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis and in pre-dialysis
patients with Stage 3 or Stage 4 chronic kidney disease. Hectorol (doxercalciferol
injection) is indicated for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with
chronic kidney disease on dialysis.
This protocol will determine clinically appropriate doses of Hectorol (doxercalciferol
capsules) when converting subject from Hectorol (doxercalciferol injection.) The study will
enroll hemodialysis patients that have been controlled on intravenous Hectorol. the
information gained from this study will be a useful guide for physicians in managing CKD
Stage 5 patients for whom a change from intravenous to oral vitamin D administration is
appropriate.
