2MD-7H-2B: A Phase 2 Study of an Oral Vitamin D Compound (DP001) in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients on Hemodialysis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to test a new vitamin D compound for its ability to reduce parathyroid hormone levels in patients who are on hemodialysis.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the vitamin D analog 2-methylene-19-nor-20S-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (DP001) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The effect of 12 weeks of oral administration of DP001 on serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels will be evaluated in ESRD patients who have secondary hyperparathyroidism.
