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

May 6, 2013 updated by: Amgen

A Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of an Oral Calcimimetic Agent (AMG 073) in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism of Chronic Kidney Disease (Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis)

This 6 month 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 - final 10 weeks of study
Efficacy Assessment phase - final 10 weeks of study

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 073 compared with placebo by determining: the proportion of subjects with a reduction from baseline in mean iPTH of >= 30% during the efficacy assessment phase
Time Frame: Efficacy Assessment phase - final 10 weeks of study
Efficacy Assessment phase - final 10 weeks of study
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 073 compared with placebo by determining: percentage change from baseline in iPTH during the efficacy assessment phase
Time Frame: Efficacy Assessment phase - final 10 weeks of study
Efficacy Assessment phase - final 10 weeks of study
To evaluate the safety of AMG 073 compared with placebo
Time Frame: Entire study - 26 weeks
Entire study - 26 weeks
