Purpose
This phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is designed to demonstrate the efficacy and to assess the safety of cinacalcet for the reduction of hypercalcemia in subjects with primary HPT for whom parathyroidectomy is indicated on the basis of an elevated corrected total serum calcium, but who are unable to undergo parathyroidectomy. The reasons a subject would be unable to undergo parathyroidectomy include failed parathyroidectomy, medical contraindication to surgery, or because together with their primary physician they decided it was inappropriate. The study will consist of a 30-day screening phase, a 12-week placebo-controlled dose-titration phase, and a 16 week placebo-controlled efficacy assessment phase (EAP). Subjects who complete 28 weeks on study will continue into an open-label safety extension phase for 24 weeks of investigational cinacalcet treatment.

- to demonstrate the efficacy of cinacalcet for normalizing serum calcium in subjects with primary HPT who are unable to undergo parathyroidectomy [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- to demonstrate the efficacy of cinacalcet for reducing corrected total serum calcium and plasma PTH levels [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Active Comparator: cinacalcet
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to cinacalcet or placebo stratified by bisphosphonate use
|
Drug: cinacalcet HCl
Subjects will be administered cinacalcet or placebo orally at a starting dose of 30 mg twice a day (BID) on day 1. Subjects will be eligible for a dose titration once every 3 weeks during the placebo-controlled dose titration phase based on corrected total serum calcium concentration and safety assessments obtained the previous week. Doses may be sequentially increased to 60 mg BID, 90 mg BID, and 90 mg 3 times a day (TID)
