  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • ESRD patients requiring maintenance dialysis (haemodialysis, haemodiafiltration, haemofiltration, or peritoneal dialysis) for at least 1 month
  • The mean of 2 iPTH determinations within 21 days before randomization and drawn at least 2 days apart must be greater than or equal to 300 pg/mL (31.8 pmol/L) and less than 800 pg/mL (84.8 pmol/L). If biPTH is determined, the mean levels must be greater than or equal to 150 pg/mL (15.9 pmol/L) and less than 410 pg/mL (43.5 pmol/L)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cinacalcetDrug

    Treatment with cinacalcet will be initiated at a dose of 30 mg/day. Possible daily doses of cinacalcet are 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 mg.

  • Standard of careOther

    Subjects randomised to the standard care arm are to receive appropriate therapy in accordance with the investigator's practice in an attempt to achieve the K/DOQI PTH, serum calcium, phosphorus, and Ca x P treatment targets.

    Number of participants with mean parathyroid hormone (PTH) ≤ 300 pg/mL during the efficacy assessment phase

    Measured: Efficacy Assessment Phase (weeks 17 to 23)

Secondary outcomes (4)

    Number of participants with mean calcium x phosphorus (Ca x P) < 55 mg^2/dL^2 and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) ≤ 300 pg/mL during the efficacy assessment phase

    Measured: Efficacy Assesment Phase (weeks 17-23)

  2. Number of Participants With Mean Ca x P < 55 mg^2/dL^2

    Number of participants with mean calcium x phosphorus (Ca x P) < 55 mg^2/dL^2 during the efficacy assessment phase

    Measured: Efficacy Assessment Phase (weeks 17 to 23)

  3. Number of Participants With Mean Serum Ca < 9.5 mg/dL

    Number of participants with mean serum calcium (Ca) < 9.5 mg/dL during the efficacy assessment phase

    Measured: Efficacy Assessment Phase (weeks 17-23)

  4. Number of Participants With Mean Serum P < 5.5 mg/dL

    Number of participants with mean serum phosphorus (P) < 5.5 mg/dL during the efficacy assessment phase

    Measured: Efficacy Assessment Phase (weeks 17 to 23)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing cinacalcet in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by Amgen.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Mar 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Mean PTH ≤ 300 pg/mL (time frame: Efficacy Assessment Phase (weeks 17 to 23)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00110890, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Mar 2011.
