New drug SHR6508 aims to tame hormone imbalance in dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT06434961
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new drug called SHR6508 in 498 adults on hemodialysis who have secondary hyperparathyroidism, a condition where the parathyroid glands make too much hormone. The drug is given during dialysis and was compared to an existing oral medication, cinacalcet. The goal was to see if SHR6508 can safely lower parathyroid hormone levels by at least 30%.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SHR6508 (a drug given intravenously during dialysis to lower parathyroid hormone levels)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, SHR6508 could offer a new treatment option for controlling secondary hyperparathyroidism in kidney dialysis patients, potentially with fewer side effects than current therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet published. The drug may not prove superior to existing treatments like cinacalcet, and side effects such as nausea and vomiting are possible.
