Study Description

Brief Summary:

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.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, Chronic Kidney Disease	Drug: Cinacalcet	Phase 3

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm

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 Name: Cinacalcet hydrochloride, Cinacalcet HCL, Sensipar®, Mimpara®

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug in the extension study up to 4 weeks after the last dose; 32 weeks. ]
   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?

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥ 30% Reduction in iPTH From Baseline to Mean Value During Weeks 11 and 15 [ Time Frame: Baseline (defined as the mean values of samples collected during the screening period and day 1 pre-dose in the extension study) and weeks 11 and 15 ]

   This endpoint was analyzed in participants who received SOC only in parent study 20130356.

   Participants who had no iPTH values during weeks 11 or 15 were considered non-responders. Data collected more than 7 days after the last dose of study drug were excluded.

2. Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥ 30% Reduction in iPTH From Baseline to Mean Value During Weeks 23 and 28 [ Time Frame: Extension study baseline and weeks 23 and 28 ]

   This endpoint was analyzed in participants who received SOC only in parent study 20130356.

   For participants who had no values during week 23 and 28, the mean of the last 2 available post-baseline values collected in the dose-titration phase was used. If only 1 post-baseline value was available, this single value was used. If no post-baseline value was available, the participant was considered a non-responder. Data collected more than 7 days after the last dose of study drug were excluded.

3. Percent Change From Baseline in iPTH to the Mean Value During Weeks 23 and 28 [ Time Frame: Extension study baseline and weeks 23 and 28 ]

   This endpoint was analyzed in participants who received SOC only in parent study 20130356.

   For participants who had no values during week 23 and week 28, the mean of the last 2 available post-baseline values collected in the dose-titration phase was used. If only 1 post-baseline value was available, this single value was used. If no post-baseline value was available, the participant was excluded from the analysis. Data collected more than 7 days after the last dose of study drug were excluded.

4. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Mean iPTH ≤ 300 pg/mL During Weeks 23 and 28 [ Time Frame: Weeks 23 and 28 ]
   For participants who had no values during week 23 and 28, the mean of the last 2 available post-baseline values collected in the dose-titration phase was used. If only 1 post-baseline value was available, this single value was used. If no post-baseline value was available, the participant was considered a non-responder. Data collected more than 7 days after the last dose of study drug were excluded.
5. Change From Baseline in Corrected Serum Calcium to the Mean Value During Weeks 23 to 28 [ Time Frame: Extension study baseline and weeks 23 and 28 ]
   For participants who had no values during weeks 23 to 28, the mean of the last 2 available post-baseline values collected in the dose-titration phase was used. If only 1 post-baseline value was available, this single value was used. If no post-baseline value was available, the participant was excluded from the analysis. Data collected more than 7 days after the last dose of study drug were excluded.
6. Change From Baseline in Serum Phosphorus to the Mean Value During Weeks 23 to 28 [ Time Frame: Extension study baseline and weeks 23 and 28 ]
   For participants who had no values during weeks 23 to 28, the mean of the last 2 available post-baseline values collected in the dose-titration phase was used. If only 1 post-baseline value was available, this single value was used. If no post-baseline value was available, the participant was excluded from the analysis. Data collected more than 7 days after the last dose of study drug were excluded.
