Extension Study of Cinacalcet for Treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in Pediatric Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis

A Multicenter Single-arm Extension Study to Characterize the Long-term Safety of Cinacalcet Hydrochloride in the Treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Pediatric Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis

The primary objective of this study was to characterize the long-term safety and tolerability of cinacalcet in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving dialysis.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, Chronic Kidney Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Cinacalcet

Detailed Description

This extension study was designed to characterize the long-term safety and tolerability of cinacalcet in pediatric patients from Amgen Studies 20130356 (NCT02138838) and 20110100 (NCT01439867) who either had completed the parent study or were ongoing at the time an administrative decision was made to end the parent study. After enrolling into this study participants were administered cinacalcet for 28 weeks or until the time of renal transplant or parathyroidectomy, whichever occurred first. The treatment period was followed by a 4-week safety follow-up period.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Cinacalcet; Participants received cinacalcet daily for 24 weeks in this extension study. For participants who received standard of care (SOC) in parent study 20130356, the starting dose was 0.20 mg/kg/day. For participants who received SOC and cinacalcet in parent study 20130356 or 20110100 the starting dose was either the same as the last dose received in the parent study or 0.20 mg/kg/day if the last dose of cinacalcet in the parent study was received > 14 days before day 1 of this study. Dose adjustments and withholding were based on weekly assessments of ionized calcium as well as plasma intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and corrected serum calcium levels assessed monthly.

Drug: Cinacalcet; Cinacalcet was provided as 5 mg capsules for sprinkling or as 30 mg film-coated tablets for swallowing. The protocol-specified doses were: 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 mg.; Other Names: Cinacalcet hydrochloride, Cinacalcet HCL, Sensipar®, Mimpara®

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events	Adverse events (AEs) were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, v4.0). The investigator assessed whether the adverse event was possibly related to the study drug as indicated by a "yes" or "no" response to the question: Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the study drug?	From first dose of study drug in the extension study up to 4 weeks after the last dose; 32 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
