What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cinacalcet (AMG 073)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Reduction in Mean iPTH of ≥ 30% During the Efficacy Assessment Phase

    Reduction in mean intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) of ≥ 30% within the participant during the efficacy assessment phase

    Measured: Efficacy assessment phase (weeks 12-18)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage Change From Baseline in Mean iPTH During the Efficacy Assessment Phase

    Percentage change from baseline in mean intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) during the efficacy assessment phase

    Measured: Baseline, efficacy assessment phase (weeks 12-18)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cinacalcet (AMG 073) in people with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Renal Insufficiency, run by Amgen.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Mar 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction in Mean iPTH of ≥ 30% During the Efficacy Assessment Phase (time frame: Efficacy assessment phase (weeks 12-18)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00042432, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2013.
