Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of adding cinacalcet to the current treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in children currently receiving dialysis compared to a treatment regimen that does not include cinacalcet.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: cinacalcet capsule
  • Drug: placebo
  • Drug: Standard of Care
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a condition that can develop early in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), usually gets worse over time, and is known to cause problems for patients on dialysis. Children on dialysis can have a wide range of bone and growth issues, and common treatments have a chance of making these things worse by increasing serum calcium and serum phosphorus. Cinacalcet has been shown to be effective in controlling parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium and phosphorus in adults. The purpose of this study is to show that including cinacalcet in the treatment of SHPT will lower the levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) in a larger number of pediatric patients with CKD who are receiving dialysis, compared to a treatment regimen that does not include cinacalcet.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Participants received standard of care and placebo once daily for 30 weeks during the double-blind phase. During the open-label phase, participants received cinacalcet with standard of care for an additional 30 weeks. The starting dose of cinacalcet was ≤ 0.20 mg/kg based on dry weight, and could be titrated up according to plasma iPTH and serum calcium levels every 4 weeks up to Week 54 to a maximum dose of 4.2 mg/kg.

Drug: placebo
Placebo tablets and capsules for sprinkling identical to active treatment.

Drug: Standard of Care
All participants, regardless of treatment assignment, will receive standard of care with vitamin D sterols (calcitriol and its analogs), as prescribed by the treating physician.

Experimental: Cinacalcet

Participants received standard of care and cinacalcet once daily for 30 weeks during the double-blind phase. The starting dose of cinacalcet was ≤ 0.20 mg/kg based on dry weight, and could be titrated up according to plasma iPTH and serum calcium levels every 4 weeks until Week 24 to a maximum dose of 4.2 mg/kg. During the open-label phase participants continued to receive cinacalcet with standard of care for an additional 30 weeks.

Drug: cinacalcet capsule
Cinacalcet was prepared for oral administration as both capsules for sprinkling and film coated tablets for swallowing.
Other Names:
  • Sensipar, Mimpara
  • Drug: Standard of Care
    All participants, regardless of treatment assignment, will receive standard of care with vitamin D sterols (calcitriol and its analogs), as prescribed by the treating physician.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥ 30% Reduction in Mean iPTH From Baseline to the Efficacy Assessment Phase [From Baseline to the Efficacy Assessment Phase, Weeks 25-30]

      The efficacy assessment value is based on the scheduled assessment(s) taken during the efficacy assessment phase (EAP; Weeks 25 - 30). When multiple assessments were available, the average of those was used. If an efficacy measurement during the EAP was missing, the mean of the last 2 available post-baseline values in the dose-titration phase was used. If only one post-baseline value was available, this single value was used.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Mean iPTH ≤ 300 pg/mL (31.8 Pmol/L) During the Efficacy Assessment Phase [From Baseline to the Efficacy Assessment Phase (EAP), Weeks 25-30]

      The efficacy assessment value is based on the scheduled assessment(s) taken during the efficacy assessment phase. When multiple assessments were available, the average of those was used. If an efficacy measurement during the EAP was missing, the mean of the last 2 available postbaseline values in the dose-titration phase was used. If only one post-baseline value was available, this single value was used.

    2. Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Corrected Total Serum Calcium During the Efficacy Assessment Period [From Baseline to the Efficacy Assessment Phase, Weeks 25-30.]

      Serum calcium was reported as a corrected value by the central laboratory based on calcium and albumin concentrations: Corrected total calcium (mg/dL) = measured total serum calcium (mg/dL) + 0.8 (4.0 - Serum albumin (g/dL)). The efficacy assessment value is based on the scheduled assessment(s) taken during the efficacy assessment phase. When multiple assessments were available, the average of those was used. If an efficacy measurement during the EAP was missing, the mean of the last 2 available postbaseline values in the dose-titration phase was used. If only one post-baseline value was available, this single value was used."

    3. Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Serum Phosphorus During the Efficacy Assessment Phase [From Baseline to the Efficacy Assessment Phase, Weeks 25-30.]

      The efficacy assessment value is based on the scheduled assessment(s) taken during the efficacy assessment phase. When multiple assessments were available, the average of those was used. If an efficacy measurement during the EAP was missing, the mean of the last 2 available postbaseline values in the dose-titration phase was used. If only one post-baseline value was available, this single value was used.

    4. Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Phosphorous Product (Ca x P) During the Efficacy Assessment Phase [From Baseline to end of Efficacy Assessment Period, assessed up to 30 weeks]

      The efficacy assessment value is based on the scheduled assessment(s) taken during the efficacy assessment phase. When multiple assessments were available, the average of those was used. If an efficacy measurement during the EAP was missing, the mean of the last 2 available postbaseline values in the dose-titration phase was used. If only one post-baseline value was available, this single value was used.

    5. Growth Velocity From Baseline to End of Double-blind Phase [From Baseline to end of Efficacy Assessment at Week 30]

      Linear growth velocity (cm/year) = 52 x change in height (cm) / number of weeks between the two assessments. End of double-blind phase visit was at Week 30 by design but the last assessment in the double-blind phase was used due to the early termination of the study.

    6. Growth Velocity From End of Double-blind Phase to End of Open-label Phase [End of double-blind phase (Week 30) until end of the open-label phase (Week 60)]

      Linear growth velocity (cm/year) = 52 x change in height (cm) / number of weeks between the two assessments. End of open-label phase visit was at Week 60 by design but the last assessment in the open-label phase was used due to the early termination of the study.

    7. Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Ionized Calcium During the Efficacy Assessment Phase [From Baseline to the Efficacy Assessment Phase, Weeks 25-30.]

      The efficacy assessment value is based on the scheduled assessment(s) taken during the efficacy assessment phase. When multiple assessments were available, the average of those was used. If an efficacy measurement during the EAP was missing, the mean of the last 2 available postbaseline values in the dose-titration phase was used. If only one post-baseline value was available, this single value was used.

If the p-value was > 0.0125, all 4 secondary endpoints were non-significant; if ≤ 0.0125, the null hypothesis for that endpoint was rejected. Next, the 2nd smallest p-value was compared at a level of 0.0167; if > 0.0167, the remaining 3 endpoints were not significant, or, the null hypothesis of that endpoint was rejected. The other 2 endpoints were analyzed similarly, at 0.025 and 0.05.

    Description The efficacy assessment value is based on the scheduled assessment(s) taken during the efficacy assessment phase. When multiple assessments were available, the average of those was used. If an efficacy measurement during the EAP was missing, the mean of the last 2 available postbaseline values in the dose-titration phase was used. If only one post-baseline value was available, this single value was used.

    Limitations/Caveats

    The study was terminated early with a smaller sample size. However, the study was still sufficiently powered for the double-blind phase. The data collected in the open-label phase is very sparse.

    More Information

    Certain Agreements

    Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.

    The Clinical Trial Agreement generally does not restrict an investigator's discussion of trial results after completion. The Agreement permits Amgen a limited period of time to review material discussing trial results (typically up to 45 days and possible extension). Amgen may remove confidential information, but authors have final control and approval of publication content. For multicenter studies, the investigator agrees not to publish any results before the first multi-center publication.
