Interventions

NameTypeDescription
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.
