About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Multiple-dose, Active-controlled, Double-blind, Double-dummy Study to Compare the Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of Oral Doses of Cinacalcet Hydrochloride With Intravenous Doses of Etelcalcetide (AMG 416) in Asian Hemodialysis Subjects With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

The primary objective is to demonstrate that treatment with etelcalcetide (AMG 416) is not inferior to treatment with cinacalcet for lowering serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels by > 30% from baseline among participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) who require management with hemodialysis.

What participants receive

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

  • EtelcalcetideDrug

    Also called AMG 416, Parsabiv®

    Administered intravenously three times per week.

  • CinacalcetDrug

    Also called Sensipar®, Mimpara®

Study groups in NCT03299244
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CinacalcetActive comparatorParticipants were randomized to receive oral cinacalcet once daily and placebo intravenous (IV) bolus injection at the end of each hemodialysis session three times per week (TIW) for 26 weeks. The starting dose of cinacalcet was 25 mg daily and the dose may have been titrated at weeks 5, 9, 13, and 17 to target predialysis serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) ≤ 300 pg/mL but no lower than 100 pg/mL while maintaining corrected calcium (cCa) ≥ 8.3 mg/dL.
Receives: Drug: Cinacalcet
EtelcalcetideExperimentalParticipants were randomized to receive etelcalcetide administered by intravenous bolus injection at the end of each hemodialysis session TIW and daily oral doses of placebo tablets for 26 weeks. The starting dose of etelcalcetide was 5 mg, and the dose may have been titrated at weeks 5, 9, 13, and 17 to target predialysis serum PTH ≤ 300 pg/mL but no lower than 100 pg/mL while maintaining cCa ≥ 8.3 mg/dL.
Receives: Drug: Etelcalcetide

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With > 50% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Predialysis iPTH During the Efficacy Assessment Phase

    Predialysis intact parathyroid hormone levels were measured by a central laboratory.

    Measured: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase (weeks 20 to 27, inclusive).

  2. Percentage of Participants With > 30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Predialysis iPTH During the Efficacy Assessment Phase - Superiority Analysis

    Predialysis intact parathyroid hormone levels were measured by a central laboratory.

    Measured: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase (weeks 20 to 27, inclusive)

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Predialysis Corrected Calcium During the Efficacy Assessment Phase

    Predialysis corrected calcium was measured by a central laboratory.

    Measured: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase (weeks 20 - 27, inclusive)

  4. Percentage of Participants With Mean Predialysis Serum Phosphorus ≤ 4.5 mg/dL During the Efficacy Assessment Phase

    Predialysis serum phosphorus was measured by a central laboratory.

    Measured: Efficacy assessment phase (weeks 20 - 27, inclusive)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Etelcalcetide and Cinacalcet in people with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Amgen at 90 sites in 6 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 9 inclusion and 21 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 30 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 90 sites in China, India, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia and 1 more country. 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 30 Apr 2021). 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 With > 30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Predialysis Intact Parathyroid Hormone During the Efficacy Assessment Phase - Non-inferiority Analysis (time frame: Baseline and the efficacy assessment phase (EAP; defined as weeks 20 to 27, inclusive).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Apr 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
