About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-arm Study to Assess the Safety & Tolerability of Cinacalcet in Addition to Standard of Care in Pediatric Subjects Age 28 Days to < 6 Yrs With Chronic Kidney Disease & Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Receiving Dialysis

The primary objective was to characterize corrected serum calcium levels on treatment with cinacalcet in pediatric patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT).

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, 26-week, single-arm, open-label, safety study. Participants were to remain on study for 26 weeks or until time of kidney transplantation, whichever came first.

The study and enrollment was placed on partial clinical hold in February 2013 which resulted in changes to the protocol. The study was restarted in April 2014 following these changes.

Participants who completed the 26-week study or were on study when the study was closed in June 2016 were eligible to participate in an open-label extension study (Study 20140159; NCT02341417).

What participants receive

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

  • Cinacalcet hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called Sensipar®, Mimpara®

    Cinacalcet was provided as 5 mg capsules that were opened, and the contents were either sprinkled on soft food or suspended into a sucrose syrup to create a liquid suspension for administration. All doses were administered with food or shortly after a meal at the same time daily.

  • Standard of CareDrug

    Standard of care may have included vitamin D sterols (25 OH vitamin D and/or 1-25 OH vitamin D and its analogs) at the discretion of the investigator.

Study groups in NCT01439867
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CinacalcetExperimentalPrior to the partial clinical hold, the starting dose was 0.25 mg/kg (based on dry weight) and was titrated upwards (maximum allowed daily dose of 4.2 mg/kg) based on plasma intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), corrected serum calcium levels obtained monthly, and adverse signs and symptoms. After the partial clinical hold the starting dose was 0.20 mg/kg (based on dry weight) and was titrated upwards (maximum allowed daily dose of 2.5 or 60 mg, whichever was lower) based on plasma iPTH, corrected serum calcium levels obtained monthly, weekly monitoring of ionized calcium levels, and adverse signs and symptoms. All participants also received standard of care, which may have included vitamin D sterols.
Receives: Drug: Cinacalcet hydrochloride; Drug: Standard of Care

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Hypocalcemia

    Hypocalcemia was defined as corrected serum calcium levels < 9.0 mg/dL (2.25 mmol/L) for participants aged 28 days to < 2 years, and < 8.4 mg/dL (2.1 mmol/L) for participants aged ≥ 2 years to < 6 years at any time during the study.

    Measured: 26 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and weeks 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 22, and 24

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Corrected Serum Calcium

    Measured: Baseline and weeks 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 22, and 24

  4. Percent Change From Baseline in Serum Phosphorous

  6. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved > 30% Reduction in iPTH From Baseline at Any Two Consecutive Measurements

    A participant was considered to have achieved > 30% reduction in iPTH from baseline at any 2 consecutive measurements if percent change of any two consecutive post-baseline iPTH values were < -30% regardless if there was a missing value in between.

    Measured: 26 weeks

  7. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved ≥ 30% Reduction in iPTH From Baseline During the Study

    A participant was considered to have achieved ≥ 30% reduction in iPTH if the percent change of any post-baseline iPTH value was ≤ -30% from baseline.

    Measured: 26 weeks

  8. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved iPTH Values Between 200 and 300 pg/mL at Any Two Consecutive Measurements

    A participant was considered to have achieved iPTH between 200 and 300 pg/mL (21.2 and 31.8 pmol/L) at any 2 consecutive measurements if any two consecutive post-baseline iPTH values were within the range regardless if there was a missing value in between. The analysis included all enrolled subjects with at least 1 post-baseline assessment.

    Measured: 26 weeks

  9. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved iPTH Values < 300 pg/mL During the Study

    A participant was considered to have achieved iPTH < 300 pg/mL (31.8 pmol/L) during the study if any post-baseline iPTH value was < 300 pg/mL.

    Measured: 26 weeks

  10. Dose- and Weight-Normalized Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Cinacalcet

    Measured: Week 12

  11. Dose- and Weight-Normalized Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) for Cinacalcet

    Measured: Week 12

A Phase 2 study testing Cinacalcet hydrochloride in people with Chronic Kidney Disease and Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary, run by Amgen at 42 sites in 13 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 42 sites in United States, France, Belgium, Hungary, Italy and 8 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 11 Aug 2017). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Hypocalcemia (time frame: 26 weeks). 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 NCT01439867, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Jun 2020.
