E.V.O.L.V.E. Trial™: EValuation Of Cinacalcet Hydrochloride (HCl) Therapy to Lower CardioVascular Events (EVOLVE)

November 3, 2022 updated by: Amgen

EValuation Of Cinacalcet Hydrochloride (HCl) Therapy to Lower CardioVascular Events

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of cinacalcet (cinacalcet HCl or Sensipar®/Mimpara®) on cardiovascular events and death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) who are receiving dialysis.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Secondary HPT is common in people with CKD. Patients with secondary HPT often have high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and may develop large parathyroid glands in the neck. Patients with secondary HPT may have bone disease (osteodystrophy). This bone disease may cause bone pain, fractures, and poor formation of red blood cells. Other problems from secondary HPT may include increases in blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. These may cause calcium to deposit in body tissues. Calcium deposits can cause arthritis (joint pain and swelling), muscle inflammation, itching, gangrene (death of soft tissue), or heart and lung problems. New evidence suggests that secondary HPT is associated with cardiovascular disease and increased death risk. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of cinacalcet (cinacalcet HCl or Sensipar®/Mimpara®) on cardiovascular events (having to do with the heart and its blood vessels) and death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) who are receiving dialysis. These events include death from any reason, heart attack and episodes where the heart does not get enough oxygen, peripheral vascular disease (narrowing of vessels that carry blood to the legs, arms, stomach or kidneys), and heart failure (a condition that occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the need's of the body's tissues)

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Drug: Placebo
Possible doses: 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 mg using tablet strengths of 30, 60, or 90 mg. Sequential titration starting at 30 mg QD, once every 4 weeks for the first 20 weeks and once every 8 weeks after Week 20. Titration increases or decreases based on PTH values, serum calcium, and safety. Daily dosing unless temporary hold criteria or withdrawal criteria is met, or until study completion; estimated 2.5 to 4 years of intervention.
Experimental: Cinacalcet

Possible doses: 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 mg using tablet strengths of 30, 60, or 90 mg. Sequential titration starting at 30 mg daily (QD), once every 4 weeks for the first 20 weeks and once every 8 weeks after Week 20. Titration increases or decreases based on PTH values, serum calcium, and safety. Daily dosing unless temporary hold criteria or withdrawal criteria is met, or until study completion; estimated 2.5 to 4 years of intervention.
