About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label Study to Compare the Efficacy of Cinacalcet Versus Traditional Vitamin D Therapy for Management of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Among Subjects Undergoing Hemodialysis

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of treatment with cinacalcet to manage plasma parathyroid levels as to compared traditional vitamin D therapy, whether given orally or intravenously, among hemodialysis subjects with secondary hyperparathyroidism when the doses are adjusted appropriately to maintain serum calcium and phosphorous levels with currently recommended ranges.

What participants receive

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

  • Traditional Vitamin D TherapyDrug

    Traditional vitamin D therapy (eg, calcitriol, paricalcitol, alfacalcidol, doxercalciferol), to manage secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in this study will be administered according to strategies that have been used in clinical practice and that conform to current therapeutic recommendations and available clinical practice guidelines and product labeling.

  • CinacalcetDrug

    Subjects randomized to treatment with cinacalcet will receive an initial oral dose of 30 mg once daily. Doses will be titrated incrementally to 60, 90,120, and 180 mg per day based upon periodic measurements of serum calcium and plasma PTH levels. Cinacalcet is formulated as light green tablets in 30, 60, and 90 mg free-based equivalents. Tablets will be 30, 60, and 90 mg, graduated in size, smallest to largest. Combinations of these 3 fixed dosage formulations will be used to achieve the 120 and 180 mg daily doses.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Mean PTH During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)

    Mean PTH during EAP is defined as the mean of values at study weeks 40, 44, 48 and 52

    Measured: Baseline to week 40-52

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Treatment Comparison of >=30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean PTH During the Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)

    Number of participants achieving a >=30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean PTH During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)

    Measured: Baseline to week 40-52

  2. Treatment Comparison of Plasma PTH < 300 pg/mL During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)

    Number of participants achieving Plasma PTH < 300 pg/mL During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP)

    Measured: week 40-52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Traditional Vitamin D Therapy and Cinacalcet in people with Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary, 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 4 inclusion and 15 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 17 Oct 2018. 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 25 Apr 2014). 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?

Percent Change From Baseline in Mean PTH During Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP) (time frame: Baseline to week 40-52). 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 NCT01181531, which also lists 2 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 17 Oct 2018.
