Study summary
This study is a 1:1 randomized controlled trial with an intervention for 18 months and a follow up period of 12 months. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of recombinant human parathyroid hormone for treatment of adynamic bone disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease.
This study is a 1:1 randomized controlled trial with an intervention for 18 months and a follow up period of 12 months. The study will explore if treatment with recombinant human parathyroid hormone (PTH) improves bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD), and thereby prevents the high risk of fracture in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Disturbed bone metabolism is related to increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD. This study also wishes to examine of treatment with recombinant PTH improves cardiovascular parameters.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
All participants undergo DXA and VFA or X-ray scans 3 times during the study. Some participants (those connected to Herlev) are offered 18F NAF PET/CT scans at baseline and after 12 months and some participants (those connected to Odense University Hospital and Aalborg University Hospital) are offered HR-pQCT scans at baseline and after 12 months. The 18F-NAF PET/CT and HR-pQCT are optional, so it is not a must to have these procedures done to participate in the study.
PROCEDURE
All participants are invited to undergo a bone biopsy after 12 months, but it is not a must to have the procedure done to participate in the study.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
All participants are invited to undergo 24-hour blood pressure measurements and pulse wave measurements at baseline and after 18 months, but it is not a must to have these procedures done to participate in the study.
OTHER
All participants must undergo a physical examination and deliver blood and urine samples in order to participate in the study.

Outcomes
Changes in bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP)
Time frame · Baseline and 18 months
The difference between treated and controls in changes from baseline to 18 months in bone specific alkaline phosphatase
Number of patients who no longer has adynamic bone disorder based on a BSAP >21 µg/l
Time frame · Baseline and 18 months. It is also measured through study completion, an average of 30 months
Changes between baseline and 18 months as well as differences between treated and controls.
BMD at the lumbar spine, antebrachium, femoral neck and total hip
Time frame · Baseline and 18 months. The scan is also performed at 30 months
Changes between baseline and 18 months as well as differences between treated and controls
Incidence of fragility fractures and vertebral fractures assessed using x-ray of columna or vertebral fracture assessment (VFA)
Time frame · Baseline and 18 months. The scan is also performed at 30 months
Changes between baseline and 18 months as well as differences between treated and controls
Bone microarchitecture assessed using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)
Time frame · Baseline and 12 months
Changes between baseline and 12 months as well as differences between treated and controls. The HR-pQCT scan is a voluntary procedure.
Volumetric BMD assessed using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)
Time frame · Baseline and 12 months
Changes between baseline and 12 months as well as differences between treated and controls. The HR-pQCT scan is a voluntary procedure.
Bone geometry assessed using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)
Time frame · Baseline and 12 months
Changes between baseline and 12 months as well as differences between treated and controls. The HR-pQCT scan is a voluntary procedure.
Bone strength assessed using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)
Time frame · Baseline and 12 months
Changes between baseline and 12 months as well as differences between treated and controls. The HR-pQCT scan is a voluntary procedure.
Regional bone formation using 18F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-NAF PET/CT)
Time frame · Baseline and 12 months
Changes between baseline and 12 months as well as differences between treated and controls. The 18F-NAF PET/CT is a voluntary procedure.
Changes in p-PTH
Time frame · Baseline and 18 months. Some of them are also measured during follow up.
Changes between baseline and 18 months as well as differences between treated and controls.
Changes in p-phosphate
Time frame · Baseline and 18 months. Some of them are also measured during follow up.
