Frequently asked questions about Maxacalcitol

What is Maxacalcitol used for?

Maxacalcitol is being studied for secondary hyperparathyroidism in people with chronic kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It is an investigational small molecule developed by Abbott Laboratories, and it has been evaluated in Phase 2 clinical research in Japan.

Who makes Maxacalcitol?

Maxacalcitol is developed by Abbott Laboratories, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABT. The company has sponsored Phase 2 clinical research of the drug in Japan for secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease patients receiving hemodialysis.

What phase is Maxacalcitol in?

Maxacalcitol is in Phase 2 development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The clinical work completed to date consists of Phase 2 studies conducted in Japan in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis who have secondary hyperparathyroidism.

What clinical trials is Maxacalcitol in?

Maxacalcitol has been studied in completed Phase 2 trials. NCT00990704 compared paricalcitol with maxacalcitol in chronic kidney disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, enrolling 47 participants in Japan. NCT00667576 was a dose-response study of paricalcitol injection in chronic kidney disease patients receiving hemodialysis, enrolling 153 participants in Japan.

Is Maxacalcitol the same as paricalcitol?

No. Maxacalcitol and paricalcitol are separate drugs, although both were evaluated in the same Phase 2 clinical program in Japan. NCT00990704 directly compared paricalcitol with maxacalcitol in chronic kidney disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, and NCT00667576 studied paricalcitol injection in hemodialysis patients.

How many patients have been enrolled in Maxacalcitol trials?

The Phase 2 program for Maxacalcitol has enrolled 153 participants in total. The studies were randomized and controlled, conducted in Japan, and included adults aged 20 years and older with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis and secondary hyperparathyroidism. All trials in the program are completed.
