Compare the Efficacy of Cinacalcet vs Traditional Vitamin D for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) Among Subjects Undergoing Hemodialysis

September 20, 2018 updated by: Amgen

A Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label Study to Compare the Efficacy of Cinacalcet Versus Traditional Vitamin D Therapy for Management of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Among Subjects Undergoing Hemodialysis

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of treatment with cinacalcet to manage plasma parathyroid levels as to compared traditional vitamin D therapy, whether given orally or intravenously, among hemodialysis subjects with secondary hyperparathyroidism when the doses are adjusted appropriately to maintain serum calcium and phosphorous levels with currently recommended ranges.

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)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

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.
Experimental: Cinacalcet
Drug: Cinacalcet
Subjects randomized to treatment with cinacalcet will receive an initial oral dose of 30 mg once daily. Doses will be titrated incrementally to 60, 90,120, and 180 mg per day based upon periodic measurements of serum calcium and plasma PTH levels. Cinacalcet is formulated as light green tablets in 30, 60, and 90 mg free-based equivalents. Tablets will be 30, 60, and 90 mg, graduated in size, smallest to largest. Combinations of these 3 fixed dosage formulations will be used to achieve the 120 and 180 mg daily doses.
Active Comparator: Traditional Vitamin D Therapy
Drug: Traditional Vitamin D Therapy
Traditional vitamin D therapy (eg, calcitriol, paricalcitol, alfacalcidol, doxercalciferol), to manage secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in this study will be administered according to strategies that have been used in clinical practice and that conform to current therapeutic recommendations and available clinical practice guidelines and product labeling.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent Change From Baseline in Mean PTH During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)
Time Frame: Baseline to week 40-52
Mean PTH during EAP is defined as the mean of values at study weeks 40, 44, 48 and 52
Baseline to week 40-52

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Treatment Comparison of >=30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean PTH During the Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)
Time Frame: Baseline to week 40-52
Number of participants achieving a >=30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean PTH During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)
Baseline to week 40-52
Treatment Comparison of Plasma PTH < 300 pg/mL During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)
Time Frame: week 40-52
Number of participants achieving Plasma PTH < 300 pg/mL During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)
