Paricalcitol (chemically it is 19-nor-1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D2. Marketed by Abbott Laboratories under the trade name Zemplar) is a drug used for the prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone) associated with chronic renal failure. It is an analog of 1,25-dihydroxyergocalciferol, the active form of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). Its primary use in medicine is in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic kidney disease. In three placebo-controlled studies, chronic renal failure patients treated with paricalcitol achieved a mean parathyroid hormone (PTH) reduction of 30% in six weeks. Additionally there was no difference in incidence of hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia when compared to placebo. A double-blind randomised study with 263 dialysis patients showed a significant advantage over calcitriol (also known as activated vitamin D3; a similar molecule to 1,25-dihydroxyergocalciferol, adding a methyl group on C24 and lacking a double-bond in the C22 position). After 18 weeks, all patients in the paricalcitol group had reached the target parathormone level of 100 to 300 pg/ml, versus none in the calcitriol group. Combination therapy with paricalcitol and trandolapril has been found to reduce fibrosis in obstructive uropathy. Forty-eight week therapy with paricalcitol did not alter left ventricular mass index or improve certain measures of diastolic dysfunction in 227 patients with chronic kidney disease.
Paricalcitol(Zemplar 亞培腎骨樂)內容轉載自:行政院退除役官兵輔導委員會台北榮民總醫院藥劑部團隊撰稿 慢性腎衰竭之病患由於腎臟功能逐漸惡化,易導致體內血鈣濃度降低、血磷升高以及活性維生素D缺乏,引起副甲狀腺素製造、分泌增加,造成次發性副甲狀腺機能亢進,繼而影響骨骼、心血管等正常功能而使健康受到危害。臨床上控制此疾病自然惡化的治療藥物除了口服磷結合劑(如鈣鋁製劑、碳酸鑭及sevelamer等)外,亦可藉由補充維生素D以降低副甲狀腺素的濃度。Paricalcitol為新的維生素D衍生物,可透過和維生素D接受體結合,選擇性地活化維生素D相關生物途徑進而抑制副甲狀腺素的合成,臨床應用於治療次發性副甲狀腺機能亢進。目前巿售之paricalcitol包含兩種劑型:口服膠囊與注射劑型。口服膠囊適用於慢性腎臟疾病第三、四期透析之病患,使用較注射劑方便;注射劑型則因吸收完全,可達較高血中濃度,適用於治療慢性腎臟疾病第五期引發副甲狀腺機能亢進之透析病患。Paricalcitol起始使用劑量依血中副甲狀腺素濃度及鈣、磷值而定,若未達滿意療效,可每2-4週調增劑量。Paricalcitol主要經由肝臟和非肝臟途徑代謝,故與肝臟代謝酵素CYP3A4的抑制藥物如clarithromycin(抗細菌)、ketoconazole(抗黴菌)、itraconazole(抗黴菌)、voriconazole(抗黴菌)等併用時,可能會增加paricalcitol血中濃度;與digoxin(心血管藥物)併用可能因血鈣升高而使digoxin之毒性增加,故應嚴密監控digoxin之血中濃度。對肝功能不全病患,使用paricalcitol時不需特別調整劑量,血液透析亦不會影響paricalcitol排除。由於動物試驗顯示具胎兒毒性,懷孕用藥分級屬於C級,故懷孕婦女應避免使用,對於授乳婦女亦不建議使用。Paricalcitol的不良反應以噁心 (13%)、嘔吐(8%)、水腫 (7%)及紅疹最為常見,雖然paricalcitol僅選擇性地活化維生素D之相關生物活性,但是仍有少數高血鈣不良反應之案例報告,故一旦發生高血鈣需立即降低劑量或中斷治療;當劑量調整完成後,血清鈣磷值之監測可降為每月一次,副甲狀腺素檢測則每3個月一次。Paricalcitol為新一代具選擇性的維生素D活化物,與calcitriol相較可增加透析病患存活率且減少高血鈣及其他副作用的發生,能有效控制次發性副甲狀腺機能亢進。此新一代的藥品可以提供洗腎病患另一個治療的新選擇,但是目前健保尚未給付,患者需自費使用。
