---|---|
Experimental: Etelcalcetide
Participants received etelcalcetide at a starting dose of 5 mg three times a week (TIW) for up to 52 weeks. Etelcalcetide dose could be increased at weeks 5, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, and 49 to a maximum dose of 15 mg to achieve predialysis serum parathyroid hormone levels ≤ 300 pg/mL.
|
Drug: Etelcalcetide
Administered by bolus injection into the venous line of the dialysis circuit at the end of hemodialysis treatment, and prior to or during rinse-back with each hemodialysis session (ie, 3 times per week).
Other Name: AMG 416 |
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose until 30 days after last dose; the treatment period was 52 weeks. ]Treatment-related adverse events are those the investigator indicated as having a reasonable possibility of having been caused by etelcalcetide. A serious adverse event is defined as an adverse event that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria: • fatal • life threatening • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • congenital anomaly/birth defect • other medically important serious event.
- Number of Participants With Shift in Laboratory Values From Baseline Grade 0 or 1 to Post-baseline Grade 3 or 4 [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]Laboratory toxicity grading was based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0, where Grade 0 represents values in the normal range and grade 4 represents values with life-threatening consequences and urgent intervention indicated.
- Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-etelcalcetide Antibodies [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36, Week 53, the 30-day follow-up visit ]A validated dual flow-cell biosensor immunoassay was used to detect antibodies capable of binding etelcalcetide. The number of participants with a negative or no result at baseline and positive binding antibodies at any time post-baseline is reported.
- Change From Baseline in Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: Baseline and Weeks 24 and 48 ]Blood pressure (BP) values were taken post-hemodialysis assessments.
- Percentage of Participants With > 30% Reduction From Baseline in PTH During the Efficacy Assessment Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase, defined as the last 6 weeks prior to ending treatment for participants who completed a minimum of 8 weeks of treatment (weeks 46-52 for participants who completed 52 weeks of treatment) ]The efficacy assessment phase (EAP) is defined as the last 6 weeks before ending treatment, which was only for participants who completed a minimum of 8 weeks of treatment with etelcalcetide. If multiple assessments were available during the EAP, values were averaged.
- Percentage of Participants With > 30% Reduction From Baseline in PTH During the EAP12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase at month 12 (weeks 46-53) ]The efficacy assessment phase at 12 months (EAP12) was defined as the period from week 46 to 53 (inclusive). If multiple assessments were available during the EAP12, values were averaged.
- Percentage of Participants With PTH ≤ 300 pg/mL During the EAP [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase ]
- Percentage of Participants With PTH ≤ 300 pg/mL During the EAP12 [ Time Frame: Week 46 to 53 ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Mean PTH During the EAP [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Mean PTH During the EAP12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase at month 12 (weeks 46-53) ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Corrected Calcium During the EAP [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Corrected Calcium During the EAP12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase at month 12 (weeks 46-53) ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Corrected Calcium Phosphorus Product During the EAP [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Corrected Calcium Phosphorus Product During the EAP12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase at month 12 (weeks 46-53) ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Phosphorus During the EAP [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Phosphorus During the EAP12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase at month 12 (weeks 46-53) ]
