Active Comparator: IV Paricalcitol
Participants in the IV stratum received intravenous (IV) paricalcitol and, if hypercalcemia (calcium >= 10.5 mg/dL), received 30 mg of oral cinacalcet. Paricalcitol was dosed at 0.07 mcg/kg with titration every 2 weeks.
|
Drug: Paricalcitol
Paricalcitol dosed per label by region (participants were to receive cinacalcet if they developed hypercalcemia)
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Cinacalcet (at sites with IV paricalcitol)
Participants in the IV stratum received 30 mg of oral cinacalcet daily with a low-dose vitamin D receptor activator (VDRA) (doxercalciferol IV 1 mcg 3 times weekly (TIW) at sites in the US and alfacalcidol capsules 0.25 mcg daily at sites in Russia).
|
Drug: Cinacalcet
On-label oral cinacalcet by region with low dose vitamin D receptor activator (VDRA) (either doxercalciferol at US sites or alfacalcidol at non-US sites)
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Oral paricalcitol
Participants in the oral stratum received oral paricalcitol and, if hypercalcemia (calcium >= 10.5 mg/dL), received 30 mg of oral cinacalcet. Paricalcitol was dosed at mcg = IPTH/60 3 times weekly (TIW) with titration every 2 weeks.

Drug: Paricalcitol
Paricalcitol dosed per label by region (participants were to receive cinacalcet if they developed hypercalcemia)

|
Active Comparator: Cinacalcet (at sites with oral paricalcitol)
Participants in the oral stratum received 30 mg of oral cinacalcet daily with a low-dose vitamin D receptor activator (VDRA) (alfacalcidol capsules 0.25 mcg daily).

Drug: Cinacalcet
On-label oral cinacalcet by region with low dose vitamin D receptor activator (VDRA) (either doxercalciferol at US sites or alfacalcidol at non-US sites)

- The Number of Participants Who Achieve a Mean Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) Value Between 150 to 300 pg/mL During the Evaluation Period (Weeks 21 to 28). [ Time Frame: Weeks 21 to 28 ]iPTH values obtained during the evaluation period (Weeks 21 to 28) were averaged for each participant with at least 2 iPTH values. Participants whose average iPTH value was between 150 to 300 pg/mL were counted.
- Number of Participants Who Achieve at Least 30% Reduction From Baseline in Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) as Assessed by the Mean iPTH Obtained During the Evaluation Period (Weeks 21 to 28). [ Time Frame: Weeks 21 to 28 ]iPTH values obtained during the evaluation period (Weeks 21 to 28) were averaged for each participant with both a baseline iPTH value and at least 2 iPTH values. Participants whose average iPTH value showed a 30% reduction from Baseline were counted.
- Number of Participants Who Achieve at Least 50% Reduction From Baseline in iPTH as Assessed by the Mean iPTH Obtained During the Evaluation Period (Weeks 21 to 28). [ Time Frame: Weeks 21 to 28 ]iPTH values obtained during the evaluation period (Weeks 21 to 28) were averaged for each participant with both a baseline iPTH value and at least 2 iPTH values. Participants whose average iPTH value showed a 50% reduction from Baseline were counted.
- Analysis of the Number of Participants Who Achieve a Mean iPTH Value Between 150 and 300 pg/mL During the Evaluation Period (Weeks 21 to 28) Using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Test Controlling for IV and Oral Site Randomization Strata [ Time Frame: Weeks 21 to 28 ]iPTH values obtained during the evaluation period (Weeks 21 to 28) were averaged for each participant with at least 2 iPTH values. Participants whose average iPTH value was between 150 to 300 pg/mL were counted. Data from both the IV and oral strata were analyzed together.
- Number of Participants With Hypocalcemia Defined as < 8.4 mg/dL and Based on the Mean of at Least 2 Values Obtained During the Evaluation Period (Weeks 21 to 28) [ Time Frame: Weeks 21 to 28 ]Calcium values obtained during the evaluation period (Weeks 21 to 28) were averaged for each participant with at least 2 calcium values. Participants whose average calcium value was < 8.4 mg/dL were counted.
- Number of Participants With Hypercalcemia Defined as Calcium > 10.5 mg/dL and Based on the Mean of at Least 2 Values Obtained During the Evaluation Period (Weeks 21 to 28) [ Time Frame: Weeks 21 to 28 ]Calcium values obtained during the evaluation period (Weeks 21 to 28) were averaged for each participant with at least 2 calcium values. Participants whose average calcium value was > 10.5 mg/dL were counted.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria
- Male or female patients >= 18 years old.
- Patient was diagnosed with Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and had been receiving intravenous (IV) or oral vitamin D receptor activators (VDRAs) or cinacalcet during the 8 weeks prior to the screening period or naïve patients who had not received VDRA or cinacalcet within 8 weeks of screening.
- Patient was on maintenance HD (hemodialysis) 3 times weekly (TIW) for at least 3 months prior to screening and was expected to remain on HD for the duration of the study.
-
For entry into the Pre-Treatment Washout Period (for patients who were not naïve to VDRAs and cinacalcet), the patient had to have screening laboratory values of:
- iPTH level 130 to 700 pg/mL
- Serum Total Alkaline Phosphatase level >= 40 U/L
- Calcium level <= 10.0 mg/dL (2.49 mmol/L)
- Calcium-phosphorus product (CaxP) <= 75 mg2/dL2 (US) and <= 70 mg2/dL2 (non-US)
Exclusion Criteria
- Patient had a history of parathyroidectomy.
- Patient had a current malignancy (with the exception of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin), or clinically significant liver disease, in the opinion of the investigator.
- Use of known inhibitors (i.e., ketoconazole) or inducers (i.e., carbamazepine) of cytochrome P450 (including grapefruit and/or grapefruit juice) 3A (CYP3A) or drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) (e.g., flecainide, vinblastine, thioridazine, and most tricyclic antidepressants) within 2 weeks prior to study drug administration. Commonly used beta blockers such as metoprolol and carvedilol are allowed but are metabolized by CYP2D6; thus, an adjustment to a lower dose may have been required.
- Patient was known to be human immunodeficiency (HIV) positive.
