Study summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy of CTAP101 Capsules versus placebo in reducing intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) by at least 30% from pretreatment baseline; safety and tolerability of CTAP101 will also be evaluated

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CTAP101 Capsules administered for 26 weeks to treat SHPT in subjects ≥18 years of age with stage 3 or 4 CKD and vitamin D insufficiency. The study will be conducted at approximately 40 sites within the United States (US). Approximately 550 subjects will be screened to randomize approximately 210 eligible subjects, stratified by CKD stage (approximately 105 subjects in each stage) in a 2:1 ratio to receive either CTAP101 Capsules or matching placebo. An Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) will provide study treatment group assignments using the computer-generated randomization code provided by the IVRS vendor. Subjects will receive an initial daily dose of 1 capsule (CTAP101 Capsules, 30 µg, or matching placebo) for the first 12 weeks. After l2 weeks (visit 8) and per pre-defined criteria, the dose may be increased in a blinded fashion by the IVRS with oversight by an independent medical monitor.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Urinary albumin excretion ≤ 3000 mcg/mg of creatinine
  2. Stage 3 or 4 CKD
  3. Plasma iPTH: ≥ 85 pg/mL and \< 500 pg/mL
  4. Serum Ca: ≥ 8.4 mg/dL and \< 9.8 mg/dL
  5. Serum P: ≥ 2.0 mg/dL and \< 5.0 mg/dL
  6. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D: ≥ 10 ng/mL and \< 30 ng/mL.
  7. Stable dose of Vitamin D therapy ≤ 1600 IU/day and receiving same dose for at least 2 months

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of kidney transplant or parathyroidectomy
  2. Spot urine calcium:creatinine ratio > 0.2 (>200 mg/g Cr)
  3. Current serious illness, such as , , liver disease, cardiovascular event or hepatitis
  4. Currently on dialysis
  5. Use of pharmacological dose of ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol (≥ 50,000 IU mcg per month) during the study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

  • Active comparator
    CTAP101 30 μg capsules

    1 CTAP101 30 μg capsule daily at bedtime for 12 weeks, with a possible increase to 2 CTAP101 30 μg capsules daily at bedtime for study duration, if needed (26 weeks total). Subjects not requiring a dose increase after 12 weeks would receive 1 CTAP101 30 μg capsule and one sugar pill (to CTAP101 30 μg capsule) for weeks 13-26.
