Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the use of Zemplar (paricalcitol) capsules in real-life clinical practice in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Detailed description

This was a single arm, open, multicenter, non-interventional, post marketing observational study, which has been conducted in 24 sites in Greece, under normal clinical practice and as per the locally approved Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) of study medication (oral paricalcitol). Eligible patients were followed up for a 12-month period after enrollment. All study activities were consistent with European Union (EU) directive 2001/20/EC section for non-interventional studies. In this study, paricalcitol was prescribed on an on-label basis in an everyday setting to observe drug actions in a distinct geography (Greece with \> 250 days/year of sunny days) as well as in a significant subpopulation (Chronic Kidney Disease \[CKD\] stages 3-5 transplanted patients). Dose tolerability, treatment effects, as well as maintenance of results were registered for a 12-month period in order to obtain experience in the long term use of paricalcitol capsules. Furthermore, in centers where additional blood parameters were examined as part of clinical routine, these were recorded and analyzed.

Median Time to Attain the First Lower Intact Parathormone (iPTH) Levels

The time to attain the first lower iPTH levels was considered as the time from the date of oral paricalcitol treatment onset until the date when any of the following conditions were initially met: a 30% reduction from iPTH levels prior to treatment onset had been achieved, for patients who were still outside the target range; or iPTH levels equal or lower to the upper limit of the target range according to Kidney Disease Quality Outcome Initiative (K/DOQI) guidelines (CKD Stage 3: ≤ 70 pg/mL; CKD Stage 4: ≤ 110 pg/mL; CKD Stage 5: ≤ 300 pg/mL).

Time frame: Measured from start of study, up to a maximum of 12 months

Population: Subset of participants with baseline CKD stage ≥ 3 as well as with available iPTH values greater than the upper limit of the target range, prior to paricalcitol treatment onset. Target range for this specific analysis was defined based on patient's CKD stage (per baseline eGFR) prior to paricalcitol treatment onset.

Non-serious Adverse Events (nSAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

In order to establish the safety profile of oral paricalcitol in daily clinical practice, non-serious adverse events (nSAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) were collected during the course of the study. An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with their treatment. If an adverse event meets any of the following criteria, it is considered a serious adverse event (SAE): results in death or is life-threatening, results in admission or prolongation of hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Please see Adverse Events section below for more details.

Time frame: From time of enrollment throughout the study up to 12 months for nSAEs. SAEs from time of enrollment throughout the study up to + 30 days after end of study.
