Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) Over 48 Weeks Measured by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    Change from Baseline in left ventricular mass index (LVMI) over 48 weeks measured by cardiac MRI. The effects of paricalcitol injection on progression or regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in participants with Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD) compared to placebo. Left Ventricular Mass is normalized to the participant's height by the following equation to obtain LVMI: LVM (g) divided by height (m)2.7. The primary comparison was between the 4 mcg paricalcitol injection and the placebo treatment groups in the change from baseline to Week 48.

    Baseline, 24 Weeks, and 48 Weeks/Early Termination

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Change From Baseline in the Echocardiographic Assessment of Diastolic Function Assessed by Evaluating Changes in Diastolic Mitral Annular Relaxation Velocity (E') Over 48 Weeks.

    Baseline, 24 Weeks, and 48 Weeks/Early Termination

  • Change From Baseline in Evaluating Changes in the Additional Measure of Diastolic Function of Isovolumetric Relaxation Time (IVRT) Over 48 Weeks.

    Baseline, 24 Weeks, and 48 Weeks/Early Termination

  • Change From Baseline in Evaluating Changes in the Additional Measure of Diastolic Function of Peak E-wave Velocity to Lateral E-wave Velocity (E/E') Over 48 Weeks.

    Baseline, Week 24, and Week 48/Early Termination

  • Change From Baseline in Evaluating Changes in the Additional Measure of Diastolic Function E-wave Deceleration Time (DT) Over 48 Weeks

    Baseline, 24 Weeks, and 48 Weeks/Early Termination

  • Change From Baseline in Biological Marker Triiodothyronine (T3).

    Baseline and Early Termination Visit (4 Weeks, 5 Weeks, 7 Weeks, 8 Weeks, 14 Weeks, and 16 Weeks)

  • +4 more secondary outcomes
