Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The endpoints were the levels of corrected serum calcium, serum phosphorus, intact PTH, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP)-5b, and bone-type alkaline phosphatase (BAP). The mean corrected serum calcium, serum phosphorus, and intact PTH levels for 24 weeks before the start of treatment with etelcalcetide (pre-treatment values) were compared with those for 24 weeks after the start of treatment (post-treatment values). The mean TRACP-5b and BAP levels at the start of treatment (pre-treatment values) with etelcalcetide were also compared with those for 24 weeks after the start of treatment (post-treatment values). In addition, the endpoints were compared among treatment groups: cinacalcet hydrochloride-free group (n=8), low-dose cinacalcet hydrochloride/etelcalcetide group (switched from cinacalcet hydrochloride <26 mg/day to etelcalcetide; n=29), and high-dose cinacalcet hydrochloride/etelcalcetide group (switched from cinacalcet hydrochloride > 26 mg/day to etelcalcetide; n=13). | — |
