2 If a patient is taking the lowest dose on the daily or three times a week regimen, and a dose reduction is needed, dosing frequency can be decreased.
Serum calcium levels should be closely monitored after initiation of the treatment and during dose titration periods. If hypercalcemia or a persistently elevated calcium- phosphate product greater than 55 mg2/dL2 (4.4 mmol2 /L2) is observed, the dose of calcium based phosphate binders should be reduced or withheld. Alternatively, the dose of Zemplar may be reduced or temporarily interrupted. If interrupted, the drug should be restarted at a lower dose, when serum calcium and calcium- phosphate product are in the target range.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Stage 5
Zemplar should be administered three times a week every other day.
Initial Dose
The initial dose of Zemplar in micrograms is based on a baseline iPTH level (pg/mL)/60 [(pmol/L)/7], up to an initial maximum dose of 32 micrograms.
Dose Titration
Subsequent dosing should be individualised and based on iPTH, serum calcium and phosphorus levels. A suggested dose titration of paricalcitol capsules is based on the following formula:


Serum calcium and phosphorus levels should be closely monitored after initiation, during dose titration periods, and with co-administration of strong P450 3A inhibitors. If an elevated serum calcium or elevated Ca x P is observed and the patient is on a calcium-based phosphate binder, the binder dose may be decreased or withheld, or the patient may be switched to a non-calcium-based phosphate binder.
If serum calcium > 11.0 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) or Ca x P > 70 mg2/dL2 (5.6 mmol2/L2) or iPTH ≤ 150 pg/mL, the dose should be decreased by 2 to 4 micrograms with respect to that calculated by the most recent iPTH/60 (pg/mL) [iPTH/7 (pmol/L)]. If further adjustment is required, the dose of paricalcitol capsules should be reduced or interrupted until these parameters are normalised.
As iPTH approaches the target range (150-300 pg/mL), small, individualised dose adjustments may be necessary in order to achieve a stable iPTH. In situations where monitoring of iPTH, Ca or P occurs less frequently than once per week, a more modest initial and dose titration ratio may be warranted.
Special Populations
Hepatic Impairment:
No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
There is no experience in patients with severe hepatic impairment (see Section 5.2).
Paediatric population:
The safety and efficacy of Zemplar Capsules in children under the age of 18 years have not yet been established
Currently available data are described in section 5.1 but no recommendation on a posology can be made.
Elderly:
No overall differences in safety and effectiveness were observed between elderly patients (65 – 75 years) with regard to younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
Method of administration
Zemplar can be taken with or without food.
4.3 Contraindications
Paricalcitol should not be given to patients with evidence of vitamin D toxicity, hypercalcaemia, or hypersensitivity to paricalcitol or any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Over suppression of parathyroid hormone may result in elevations of serum calcium levels and may lead to low-turnover bone disease. Patient monitoring and individualised dose titration is required to reach appropriate physiological endpoints.
If clinically significant hypercalcaemia develops and the patient is receiving a calcium-based phosphate binder, the dose of the calcium-based phosphate binder should be reduced or interrupted.
Chronic hypercalcaemia may be associated with generalized vascular calcification and other soft-tissue calcification.
Phosphate or vitamin D-related medicinal products should not be taken concomitantly with paricalcitol due to an increased risk of hypercalcaemia and Ca x P product elevation (see Section 4.5).
Digitalis toxicity is potentiated by hypercalcemia of any cause, so caution should be applied when digitalis is prescribed concomitantly with paricalcitol (see Section 4.5).
In pre-dialysis patients, paricalcitol, like other vitamin D receptor activators, may increase serum creatinine (and therefore decrease the estimated GFR [eGFR]) without changing true glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
Caution should be exercised if co-administering paricalcitol with ketoconazole (see Section 4.5).
Warning for excipients:
This medicinal product contains small amounts of ethanol (alcohol), less than 100 mg per 1 mcg, 2 mcg and 4 mcg capsule which may be harmful to those suffering from alcoholism (refer to sections 2 and 4.2). To be taken into account in pregnant or breast-feeding women, children and high risk groups such as patients with liver disease or epilepsy.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Ketoconazole: Ketoconazole is known to be a nonspecific inhibitor of several cytochrome P450 enzymes. The available in vivo and in vitro data suggest that ketoconazole may interact with enzymes that are responsible for the metabolism of paricalcitol and other vitamin D analogs. Caution should be taken while dosing paricalcitol with ketoconazole.The effect of multiple doses of ketaconazole administered as 200 mg, twice daily (BID) for 5 days on the pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol capsule has been studied in healthy subjects. The Cmax of paricalcitol was minimally affected, but AUC0-∞ approximately doubled in the presence of ketoconazole. The mean half-life of paricalcitol was 17.0 hours in the presence of ketoconazole as compared to 9.8 hours, when paricalcitol was administered alone (see PRECAUTIONS Section 4.4). The results of this study indicate that following either oral or intravenous administration of paricalcitol the maximum amplification of the paricalcitol AUCINF from a drug interaction with ketoconazole is not likely to be greater than about two-fold.
Specific interaction studies were not performed. Digitalis toxicity is potentiated by hypercalcaemia of any cause, so caution should be applied when digitalis is prescribed concomitantly with paricalcitol.
Phosphate or vitamin D-related medicinal products should not be taken concomitantly with paricalcitol due to an increased risk of hypercalcaemia and Ca x P product elevation (see Section 4.4).
High doses of calcium-containing preparation or thiazide diuretics may increase the risk of hypercalcaemia.
Magnesium-containing preparations (e.g. antacids) should not be taken concomitantly with vitamin D preparations, because hypermagnesemia may occur.
Aluminium-containing preparations (e.g. antacids, phosphate-binders) should not be administered chronically with Vitamin D medicinal products, as increased blood levels of aluminium and aluminium bone toxicity may occur.
Drugs that impair intestinal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as cholestyramine, may interfere with the absorption of Zemplar Capsules.
4.6 Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
There are no adequate data on the use of paricalcitol in pregnant women. Animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). Potential risk in human use is not known, therefore paricalcitol should be not be used unless clearly necessary.
Breastfeeding
It is not known whether paricalcitol is excreted in human milk. Animal studies have shown excretion of paricalcitol or its metabolites in breast milk, in small amounts. A decision on whether to continue/discontinue breast-feeding or to continue/discontinue therapy with Zemplar should be made taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding to the child and the benefit of Zemplar therapy to the woman.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Zemplar has negligible influence on ability to drive and use machines.
4.8 Undesirable effects
Chronic Kidney Disease, Stages 3 and 4
The safety of paricalcitol capsules has been evaluated in three 24-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centre clinical trials involving 220 CKD Stage 3 and 4 patients. There were no statistically significant differences between the paricalcitol-treated patients and placebo-treated patients in the incidence of hypercalcaemia Zemplar (2/106, 2 %) vs placebo (0/111, 0 %) or elevated calcium phosphate product Zemplar (13/106, 12%) vs placebo (7/111, 6%).
The most commonly reported adverse reaction for paricalcitol treated patients was rash, occurring in 2% of patients.
All adverse events at least possibly related to paricalcitol, both clinical and laboratory, are displayed in Table 3 by MedDRA System Organ Class, Preferred Term and frequency. The following frequency groupings are used: very common (≥1/10); common (≥1/100 to <1/10); uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100); rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000); very rare (<1/10,000), not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).

*This adverse reaction has been observed in studies in predialysis patients (see also section 4.4).
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.
4.9 Overdose
Excessive administration of Zemplar capsules can cause hypercalcaemia, hypercalciuria, hyperphosphataemia, and over suppression of parathyroid hormone. High intake of calcium and phosphate concomitant with Zemplar capsules may lead to similar abnormalities.
Treatment of patients with clinically significant hypercalcaemia consists of immediate dose reduction or interruption of paricalcitol therapy and includes a low calcium diet, withdrawal of calcium supplements, patient mobilisation, attention to fluid and electrolyte imbalances, assessment of electrocardiographic abnormalities (critical in patients receiving digitalis), and haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis against a calcium-free dialysate, as warranted.
Signs and symptoms of vitamin D intoxication associated with hypercalcaemia include:
Early: Weakness, headache, somnolence, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, constipation, muscle pain, bone pain and metallic taste.
Late: Anorexia, weight loss, conjunctivitis (calcific), pancreatitis, photophobia, rhinorrhoea, pruritis, hyperthermia, decreased libido, elevated BUN, hypercholesterolaemia, elevated AST and ALT, ectopic calcification, hypertension, cardiad arrhythmias, somnolence, death and rarely, overt psychosis.
Serum calcium levels should be monitored frequently until normocalcaemia ensues.
Paricalcitol is not significantly removed by dialysis.
5. Pharmacological properties
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Anti-parathyroid agents –ATC code: H05BX02.
Mechanism of Action
Paricalcitol is a synthetic, biologically active vitamin D analog of calcitriol with modifications to the side chain (D2) and the A (19-nor) ring. Unlike calcitriol, paricalcitol is a selective vitamin D receptor (VDR) activator. Paricalcitol selectively upregulates the VDR in the parathyroid glands without increasing VDR in the intestine and is less active on bone resorption. Paricalcitol also upregulates the calcium sensing receptor in the parathyroid glands. As a result, paricalcitol reduces parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels by inhibiting parathyroid proliferation and decreasing PTH synthesis and secretion, with minimal impact on calcium and phosphorus levels, and can act directly on bone cells to maintain bone volume and improve mineralization surfaces. Correcting abnormal PTH levels, with normalisation of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, may prevent or treat the metabolic bone disease associated with chronic kidney disease.
Clinical Efficacy
Chronic Kidney Disease, Stages 3-4
The primary efficacy endpoint of at least two consecutive ≥ 30 % reductions from baseline iPTH was achieved by 91% of paricalcitol capsules-treated patients and 13% of the placebo patients (p<0.001). Serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase like serum osteocalcin were significantly reduced (p<0.001) in patients treated with paricalcitol capsules compared to placebo, which is associated with a correction of the high bone turnover due to secondary hyperparathyroidism. No deterioration in the kidney function parameters of estimated glomerular filtration rate (via MDRD formula) and serum creatinine was detected in paricalcitol capsules treated patients in comparison to placebo treated patients. Significantly more of paricalcitol capsules treated patients experienced a reduction in urinary protein, as measured by semiquantitative dipstick, compared to placebo treated patients.
Chronic kidney disease, Stage 5
The primary efficacy endpoint of at least two consecutive ≥ 30 % reductions from baseline iPTH was achieved by 88% of paricalcitol capsules treated patients and 13% of the placebo patients (p < 0.001).
Paediatric clinical data with Zemplar Injection (IV)
The safety and effectiveness of Zemplar IV were examined in a 12-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 29 pediatric patients, aged 5-19 years, with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis. The six youngest Zemplar IV-treated patients in the study were 5 - 12 years old. The initial dose of Zemplar IV was 0.04 mcg/kg 3 times per week, based on baseline iPTH level of less than 500 pg/mL, or 0.08 mcg/kg 3 times a week based on baseline iPTH level of ≥ 500 pg/mL, respectively. The dose of Zemplar IV was adjusted in 0.04 mcg/kg increments based on the levels of serum iPTH, calcium, and Ca x P. 67% of the Zemplar IV-treated patients and 14% placebo-treated patients completed the trial. 60% of the subjects in the Zemplar IV group had 2 consecutive 30% decreases from baseline iPTH compared with 21% patients in the placebo group. 71% of the placebo patients were discontinued due to excessive elevations in iPTH levels. No subjects in either the Zemplar IV group or placebo group developed hypercalcaemia. No data are available for patients under the age of 5.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Absorption
Paricalcitol is well absorbed. In healthy subjects, following oral administration of paricalcitol at 0.24 micrograms/kg, the mean absolute bioavailability was approximately 72%; the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 0.630 ng/mL (1.512 pmol/mL) at 3 hours and area under the concentration time curve (AUC0-∞) was 5.25 ng•h/mL (12.60 pmol•h/mL). The mean absolute bioavailability of paricalcitol in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is 79% and 86%, respectively, with the upper bound of 95% confidence interval of 93% and 112%, respectively. A food interaction study in healthy subjects indicated that the Cmax and AUC0-∞ were unchanged when paricalcitol was administered with a high fat meal compared to fasting. Therefore, Zemplar Capsules may be taken without regard to food.
The Cmax and AUC0-∞ of paricalcitol increased proportionally over the dose range of 0.06 to 0.48 micrograms/kg in healthy subjects. Following multiple dosing, either as daily or three times a week in healthy subjects, steady-state exposure was reached within seven days.
Distribution
Paricalcitol is extensively bound to plasma proteins (> 99%). The ratio of blood paricalcitol to plasma paricalcitol concentration averaged 0.54 over the concentration range of 0.01 to 10 ng/mL (0.024 to 24 pmol/mL) indicating that very little drug associated with blood cells. The mean apparent volume of distribution following a 0.24 micrograms/kg dose of paricalcitol in healthy subjects was 34 litres.
Biotransformation
After oral administration of a 0.48 micrograms/kg dose of 3H-paricalcitol, parent drug was extensively metabolised, with only about 2% of the dose eliminated unchanged in the faeces, and no parent drug found in the urine. Approximately 70% of the radioactivity was eliminated in the faeces and 18% was recovered in the urine. Most of the systemic exposure was from the parent drug. Two minor metabolites, relative to paricalcitol, were detected in human plasma. One metabolite was identified as 24(R)-hydroxy paricalcitol, while the other metabolite was unidentified. The 24(R)-hydroxy paricalcitol is less active than paricalcitol in an in vivo rat model of PTH suppression.
In vitro data suggest that paricalcitol is metabolised by multiple hepatic and non-hepatic enzymes, including mitochondrial CYP24, as well as CYP3A4 and UGT1A4. The identified metabolites include the product of 24(R)-hydroxylation, as well as 24,26- and 24,28-dihydroxylation and direct glucuronidation.
Elimination
In healthy subjects, the mean elimination half-life of paricalcitol is five to seven hours over the studied dose range of 0.06 to 0.48 micrograms/kg. The degree of accumulation was consistent with the half-life and dosing frequency. Haemodialysis procedure has essentially no effect on paricalcitol elimination.
Special Populations
Elderly
The pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol have not been investigated in patients greater than 65 years.
Paediatric
The pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol have not been investigated in patients less than 18 years of age.
Gender
The pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol following single doses over 0.06 to 0.48 micrograms/kg dose range were gender independent.
Hepatic Impairment
In a study performed with Zemplar intravenous, the disposition of paricalcitol (0.24 micrograms/kg) was compared in patients with mild (n = 5) and moderate (n = 5) hepatic impairment (in accordance with the Child-Pugh method) and subjects with normal hepatic function (n = 10). The pharmacokinetics of unbound paricalcitol was similar across the range of hepatic function evaluated in this study. No dosing adjustment is required in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. The influence of severe hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol has not been evaluated.
Renal Impairment
Paricalcitol pharmacokinetics following single dose administration were characterised in patients with CKD Stage 3 or moderate renal impairment (n = 15, GFR = 36.9 to 59.1 mL/min/1.73 m2), CKD Stage 4 or severe renal impairment (n = 14, GFR = 13.1 to 29.4 mL/min/1.73 m2), and CKD 5 or end-stage renal disease [n = 14 in haemodialysis (HD) and n = 8 in peritoneal dialysis (PD)]. Similar to endogenous 1,25(OH)2 D3, the pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol following oral administration were affected significantly by renal impairment, as shown in Table 5. Compared to healthy subjects results obtained, Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 3, 4, and 5 patients showed decreased CL/F and increased half-life.

Following oral administration of paricalcitol capsules, the pharmacokinetic profile of paricalcitol for Chronic kidney disease, Stages 3 to 5 was comparable. Therefore, no special dosing adjustments are required other than those recommended (see section 4.2).
5.3 Preclinical safety data
Salient findings in the repeat-dose toxicology studies in rodents and dogs were generally attributed to paricalcitol's calcaemic activity. Effects not clearly related to hypercalcaemia included decreased white blood cell counts and thymic atrophy in dogs, and altered APTT values (increased in dogs, decreased in rats). WBC changes were not observed in clinical trials of paricalcitol.
Paricalcitol did not affect fertility in rats and there was no evidence of teratogenic activity in rats or rabbits. High doses of other vitamin D preparations applied during pregnancy in animals lead to teratogenesis. Paricalcitol was shown to affect fetal viability, as well as to promote a significant increase of peri-natal and post-natal mortality of newborn rats, when administered at maternally toxic doses.
Paricalcitol did not exhibit genotoxic potential in a set of in-vitro and in-vivo genotoxicity assays.
Carcinogenicity studies in rodents did not indicate any special risks for human use.
Doses administered and/or systemic exposures to paricalcitol were slightly higher than therapeutic doses/systemic exposures.
