Brief Summary:
The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of cinacalcet for reducing the plasma intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level by ≥ 30%.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Chronic Kidney Disease, Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Drug: Cinacalcet HCl Dietary Supplement: Standard of Care Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This was a 24-week, randomized, multicenter, open-label, controlled study. Participants were randomized into one of two treatment arms; oral administration of cinacalcet daily in addition to standard of care treatment, or standard of care alone. Randomization was stratified by age group (6 to < 12 and 12 to < 18 years of age). All participants received standard of care which could include therapy with Vitamin D sterols, calcium supplementation, and phosphate binders.

Participants in both treatment groups who completed the 20-week treatment period and those who ended the study due to study closure were eligible to enroll in an open-label extension study (20140159; NCT02341417) for further safety follow-up.

Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Randomized, Open-label, Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Cinacalcet HCl in Pediatric Subjects With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Kidney Disease Receiving Dialysis
Actual Study Start Date : November 7, 2014
Actual Primary Completion Date : June 23, 2016
Actual Study Completion Date : June 23, 2016


Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Standard of Care
Standard of care therapy included the use of vitamin D sterols, calcium supplementation, and phosphate binders.
Dietary Supplement: Standard of Care
Standard of care therapy included the use of vitamin D sterols, calcium supplementation, and phosphate binders.

Experimental: Cinacalcet
In addition to standard of care participants received cinacalcet at a starting dose (based on dry body weight) of 0.20 mg/kg administered once a day by mouth. Dose adjustments and withholding were based on ionized calcium levels, plasma iPTH, and corrected calcium levels.
Drug: Cinacalcet HCl
Capsules were opened and either sprinkled onto soft food (≥ 5 mg dose) or suspended into a sucrose syrup (≥ 2.5 mg dose) to create a liquid suspension for administration. Tablets were used for doses of 30 mg and higher in participants who could swallow tablets.
Other Names:
  • Sensipar®
  • Mimpara®

Dietary Supplement: Standard of Care
Standard of care therapy included the use of vitamin D sterols, calcium supplementation, and phosphate binders.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 30% Reduction From Baseline In Mean Plasma iPTH During Weeks 11 to 15 [ Time Frame: Baseline and weeks 11 to 15 ]

    Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels were measured at weeks 11 and 15; the mean value from these 2 measurements was calculated.

    This endpoint was the primary endpoint in the US only.


  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Plasma Intact Parathyroid Hormone During the Efficacy Assessment Period [ Time Frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment period (EAP), weeks 17 to 20 ]

    Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels were measured at weeks 17, 18, 19 and 20; the mean value from these measurements was calculated.

    This endpoint was specified as the the primary endpoint in all countries except the United States (US). In the US this endpoint was specified as a secondary efficacy endpoint.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Mean iPTH ≤ 300 pg/mL (31.8 Pmol/L) During Weeks 17 to 20 [ Time Frame: Efficacy assessment period, weeks 17 to 20 ]
  2. Percent Change in iPTH From Baseline to the Mean Value During Weeks 17 to 20 [ Time Frame: Baseline and weeks 17 to 20 ]
  3. Change in Corrected Serum Calcium From Baseline to the Mean Value During Weeks 17 to 20 [ Time Frame: Baseline and weeks 17 to 20 ]
  4. Change in Serum Phosphorus From Baseline to the Mean Value During Weeks 17 to 20 [ Time Frame: Baseline and weeks 17 to 20 ]
