A Study of an Investigational Medication for the Treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Dialysis Patients

May 6, 2013 updated by: Amgen

A Phase 3 Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of an Oral Calcimimetic Agent (AMG 073) in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism of End Stage Renal Disease Treated With Hemodialysis

This 6 month long study will assess an investigational medication for patients on dialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism. The study will look at the effects on parathyroid hormone, calcium and phosphorus levels.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 073 compared with placebo by determining the proportion of subjects with a mean intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) value <= 250 pg/mL (26.5 pmol/L) during the efficacy assessment phase.
Time Frame: efficacy assessment phase (last 14 weeks of treatment)
efficacy assessment phase (last 14 weeks of treatment)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 073 compared with placebo by determining: percentage change from baseline in mean calcium x phosphorus product (Ca x P) during the efficacy assessment phase
Time Frame: efficacy assessment phase (last 14 weeks of treatment)
efficacy assessment phase (last 14 weeks of treatment)
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 073 compared with placebo by determining: changes in self-reported cognitive function from baseline to the end of the efficacy assessment phase
Time Frame: efficacy assessment phase (last 14 weeks of treatment)
efficacy assessment phase (last 14 weeks of treatment)
To evaluate the safety of AMG 073 compared with placebo.
Time Frame: entire study
