About this study

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

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

Read the 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.

What participants receive

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

  • Cinacalcet HClDrug

    Also called Sensipar®, Mimpara®

    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.

  • Standard of CareDietary supplement

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

Receives: Dietary Supplement: Standard of Care
CinacalcetExperimentalIn 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.
Receives: Drug: Cinacalcet HCl; Dietary Supplement: Standard of Care

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 30% Reduction From Baseline In Mean Plasma iPTH During 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.

    Measured: Baseline and weeks 11 to 15

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Plasma Intact Parathyroid Hormone During the Efficacy Assessment Period

    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.

    Measured: Baseline and the efficacy assessment period (EAP), weeks 17 to 20

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Mean iPTH ≤ 300 pg/mL (31.8 Pmol/L) During Weeks 17 to 20

    Measured: Efficacy assessment period, weeks 17 to 20

  2. Percent Change in iPTH From Baseline to the Mean Value During Weeks 17 to 20

    Measured: Baseline and weeks 17 to 20

  3. Change in Corrected Serum Calcium From Baseline to the Mean Value During Weeks 17 to 20

    Measured: Baseline and weeks 17 to 20

  4. Change in Serum Phosphorus From Baseline to the Mean Value During Weeks 17 to 20

    Measured: Baseline and weeks 17 to 20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Cinacalcet HCl in people with Chronic Kidney Disease, Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, run by Amgen at 60 sites in 16 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 60 sites in United States, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and 11 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 14 Sep 2017). 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?

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). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02138838, 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 29 Jun 2020.
