Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of thrice weekly intravenous (IV) administration of etelcalcetide in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD).

Interventions

Administered 3 times a week by bolus injection into the venous line of the dialysis circuit after the end of hemodialysis.

Recruitment details

This study was conducted at 5 centers in the United States from 05 December 2011 (first participant enrolled) to 21 May 2012 (last participant completed follow-up).

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Etelcalcetide
Participants received etelcalcetide three times a week (TIW) administered by intravenous bolus injection at the end of each hemodialysis session for 12 weeks. The starting dose was 5 mg and may have been titrated every 4 weeks based on the preceding serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and corrected calcium (cCa) levels to a maximum dose of 20 mg per hemodialysis session in order to achieve the targeted PTH range while maintaining serum calcium within an acceptable range.

Outcome results

Percent Change From Baseline in Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) During the Efficacy Period

Baseline was defined as the average of 3 predialysis PTH results obtained within 3 weeks of and prior to the first dose of study drug. The efficacy period (defined as the period from 14 days prior to and 3 days after the last dose of study drug) value was the mean of the prehemodialysis values obtained during that period.

Time frame: Baseline and the efficacy period, defined as from 14 days prior to and 3 days after the last dose of study drug (approximately days 68 - 85 for participants who completed 12 weeks of treatment)

Population: The modified intent-to-treat population (all participants who were randomized and received treatment) with available data at both time points.
