Adverse events (AEs) were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, v4.0). The investigator assessed whether the adverse event was possibly related to the study drug as indicated by a "yes" or "no" response to the question: Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the study drug?

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
cinacalcet (AMG 073)EXPERIMENTAL -
Cinacalcet 50 mg QDEXPERIMENTALIn Part 1 participants received 50 mg cinacalcet capsules orally once a day (QD) for 6 weeks. In Part 2 participants received 30 mg cinacalcet capsules twice a day for 15 days.
Cinacalcet 75 mg QDEXPERIMENTALIn Part 1 participants received 75 mg cinacalcet capsules orally once a day (QD) for 6 weeks. In Part 2 participants received 40 mg cinacalcet capsules twice a day for 15 days.
Cinacelcet 100 mg QDEXPERIMENTALIn Part 1 participants received 100 mg cinacalcet capsules orally once a day (QD) for 6 weeks. In Part 2 participants received 50 mg cinacalcet capsules twice a day for 15 days.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
CinacalcetDRUGCinacalcet was provided as 5 mg capsules for sprinkling or as 30 mg film-coated tablets for swallowing. The protocol-specified doses were: 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 mg.
PlaceboDRUGAdministered orally following the same tiitration regimen as the experimental arm.
Cinacalcet HClDRUG -
Sensipar (Cinacalcet HCl)DRUGAll enrolled subjects receive study medication at a starting dose of 30 mg cinacalcet once daily beginning on day 1. Possible sequential doses are 30 mg, 60mg, 90mg, 120mg, 180 mg taken once daily. During the study, dose adjustment (dose increase/decrease/withholding) is based upon iPTH, serum calcium, and subject safety information. Subjects swallowed tablets whole without biting or chewing. Subjects were dispensed investigational product every 4 weeks starting from Day 1 through to Week 48.
cinacalcet (AMG 073)DRUGInitially receive 1 tablet of study medication (cinacalcet or placebo) once daily. Possible sequential dose titrations are 30, 60, 90, 120, 180mg cinacalcet or placebo) daily. The titration phase was 12 weeks and the efficacy assessment phase was 6 weeks.

Frequently asked questions about Sensipar

What is Sensipar used for?

Sensipar is used for secondary hyperparathyroidism, a condition in which the parathyroid glands produce excess parathyroid hormone, often in patients with end stage renal disease. It is studied in dialysis patients with this condition. Sensipar is a small molecule therapy developed by Amgen Inc. for this endocrine indication.

Who makes Sensipar?

Sensipar is developed by Amgen Inc., which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker AMGN. Amgen is the company responsible for the clinical development of Sensipar for secondary hyperparathyroidism.

What phase is Sensipar in?

Sensipar is in Phase 2 clinical development for secondary hyperparathyroidism. The recorded trial is a completed Phase 2 study. Sensipar is investigational in this setting and is not described as approved for this use in the available development information.

What clinical trials is Sensipar in?

Sensipar has been studied in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT00261950, titled Bone Biopsy Study For Dialysis Patients With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism of End Stage Renal Disease. The trial enrolled 110 participants across the United States, Belgium, Czechia, Hungary, Italy, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

Is Sensipar the same as Cinacalcet HCl?

Yes, Sensipar is also known as cinacalcet HCl. Sensipar (Cinacalcet HCl) is the same small molecule therapy developed by Amgen Inc. for secondary hyperparathyroidism. The two names refer to the same drug asset.
