Vascular Reactivity in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Patients Receiving Paricalcitol Versus Placebo

NCT00915876 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

This research is studying how Vitamin D may affect blood vessels reaction to stress and blood levels of substances that may increase blockages in the blood vessels in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Blood vessel health is worsened in CKD and some studies have shown that Vitamin D improves blood vessel health. The type of Vitamin D being used in this study (paricalcitol) is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved to treat high parathyroid hormone levels. The purpose of this study is to find out if paricalcitol has other benefits beyond its ability to lower parathyroid hormone levels such as improving the blood vessels reaction to stress and decreasing blood levels of substances that may increase blockages in the blood vessels.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00915876

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00915876 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 41 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Amy Barton Pai, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Chronic Kidney Disease appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00915876 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
