Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
CinacalcetEXPERIMENTALParticipants 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.
PlaceboPLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants received placebo orally twice a day (BID) for 12 weeks during the dose titration phase and for another 16 weeks during the efficacy assessment phase. Participants then continued into the open-label extension phase and received cinacalcet at a starting dose of 30 mg BID for 24 weeks. The dose of cinacalcet could have been increased or decreased as needed to maintain a corrected total serum calcium concentration within the normal range through Week 52.
During dialysis visitACTIVE_COMPARATORCinacalcet is given during the dialysis visit
Post-dialysis mealACTIVE_COMPARATORCinacalcet is administered with a post-dialysis meal

Frequently asked questions about Cinacalcet

What is Cinacalcet used for?

Cinacalcet is used to treat primary hyperparathyroidism and secondary hyperparathyroidism, including in patients with chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease. It has also been studied in chronic allograft nephropathy and kidney disease. It is a small molecule positive allosteric modulator of the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR).

What does Cinacalcet target?

Cinacalcet targets the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR). It acts as a positive allosteric modulator, increasing the receptor's sensitivity to calcium and thereby reducing parathyroid hormone secretion. This mechanism underlies its use in hyperparathyroidism.

Who makes Cinacalcet?

Cinacalcet is developed by Amgen Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker AMGN. Amgen is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating cinacalcet in hyperparathyroidism and chronic kidney disease.

What phase is Cinacalcet in?

Cinacalcet is in Phase 3 development. It has been evaluated in completed Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials. The Phase 3 trial NCT02341417 studied cinacalcet in pediatric patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism and chronic kidney disease on dialysis.

What clinical trials is Cinacalcet in?

Cinacalcet has been studied in completed trials including NCT03776058 and NCT03774771 in primary hyperparathyroidism, NCT02341417 in pediatric secondary hyperparathyroidism with chronic kidney disease, and NCT01290029 in children with chronic kidney disease. These trials enrolled a total of 4,610 participants across all studies.

Is Cinacalcet the same as cinacalcet (AMG 073) or Cinacalcet HCl?

Yes, cinacalcet (AMG 073) and Cinacalcet HCl are alternative names for the same drug, cinacalcet. AMG 073 was an early development code, and Cinacalcet HCl refers to the hydrochloride salt form. All refer to the same active agent developed by Amgen.
