| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Attenuation of the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in hemodialysis subjects receiving a treatment regimen including cinacalcet and low dose vitamin D.;Secondary Objective: • Attenuation of the progression of aortic calcification. • Attenuation of the progression of aortic valve calcification. • Proportion of subjects achieving > 15% progression of CAC. • Absolute and percent changes in PTH, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and Ca x P. • Safety and tolerability of cinacalcet.;Primary end point(s): Percent change from baseline in CAC score at week 52 | — |
