Participant Flow

Subjects have been recruited from our patients who underwent gastric bypass surgery. They needed to be able to give informed consent, age \> 18 years, within 12 months of RYGB being performed, post-operative iPTH \>69 pg/ml negative serum pregnancy test, serum calcium 8.0-10.5 mg/dl, phosphorus level \<5.2 mg/dl, and serum albumin \>3.0 g/dl.

Measure
Placebo-controlled
The placebo group received a placebo capsule, 1 daily each day of the week. This was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of paricalcitol capsules, cholecalciferol capsules, and placebo on serum PTH levels after a 6-week trial in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism after GB surgery. We enrolled 49 subjects (16, 17, and 16 in the paricalcitriol, cholecalciferol, and placebo groups, respectively). Consenting adult participants were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to each treatment group and received paricalcitol capsules, cholecalciferol capsules, or placebo. Per inclusion criteria, all had previously undergone GB for the treatment of morbid obesity, were between 6 weeks and 5 years post-surgery with secondary hyperparathyroidism, defined as a serum PTH level greater than 69 pg/mL.
Paricalcitrol
Paricalcitriol arm received1 mcg daily each day of the week. This study was randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of paricalcitol capsules, cholecalciferol capsules, and placebo on serum PTH levels after a 6-week trial in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism after GB surgery. We enrolled 49 subjects (16, 17, and 16 in the paricalcitriol, cholecalciferol, and placebo groups, respectively).
Cholecalciferol
The cholecalciferol arm was treated with 5000 IU of cholecalciferol total of 35,000 IUper week. This study was randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of paricalcitol capsules, cholecalciferol capsules, and placebo on serum PTH levels after a 6-week trial in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism after GB surgery. We enrolled 49 subjects (16, 17, and 16 in the paricalcitriol, cholecalciferol, and placebo groups, respectively).
