Brief summary

This is a multicenter, multiple-dose, single-arm, open-label study to assess the impact on serum corrected calcium levels when switching patients from cinacalcet to etelcalcetide (AMG 416).

Interventions

Etelcalcetide is provided as a sterile lyophilized powder to be reconstituted with sterile water for injection.

Inclusion criteria

* Subject is 18 years of age or older at the time of informed consent. * Subject must be receiving maintenance hemodialysis 3 times weekly for at least 8 weeks. * Subject must have SHPT as defined by having a mean of 3 consecutive central laboratory screening predialysis serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) values ≥ 200 pg/mL, with measurements obtained from 3 different calendar weeks in the 4-week screening period while receiving cinacalcet. * Subject must have a mean of 3 consecutive central laboratory screening predialysis serum corrected calcium (cCa) values ≥ 7.5 mg/dL, with measurements obtained from 3 different calendar weeks in the 4-week screening period while receiving cinacalcet. * Subject must be on a stable dose of cinacalcet before screening (defined as no dose change within the 4 weeks prior to screening). * Other Inclusion Criteria may apply.

Exclusion criteria

* Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 30 days since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study(s). * Subject has received AMG 416 in a prior clinical trial of AMG 416 (also known as KAI-4169). * Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products or components of AMG 416 to be administered during dosing. * Subject is unwilling to use effective contraception during the study, and for women, up to a period of up to 3 months after the last dose of AMG 416. * Subject is pregnant or nursing. * Anticipated or scheduled parathyroidectomy during the study period. * Subject has received a parathyroidectomy within 6 months prior to dosing. * Other

Recruitment details

This study was conducted at 33 centers in the United States. Participants were enrolled from 1 September 2013 to 9 December 2013. Participants were required to be on a stable dose of daily oral cinacalcet for a minimum of 4 weeks before screening, and during the 4 weeks of screening.

Pre-assignment details

Upon enrollment, participants underwent a washout period of a minimum of 7 days, wherein no cinacalcet use was allowed. Participants who had a serum corrected calcium ≥ 8.3 mg/dL during the washout period entered the treatment phase and were categorized based on their pre-washout, screening cinacalcet daily dose level (30 mg, 60 mg or ≥ 90 mg).
