ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00042653

Purpose

This 6 month study will assess an investigational medication for patients on dialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism. The study will look at the effects on parathyroid hormone, calcium and phosphorus levels.

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of an Oral Calcimimetic Agent (AMG 073) in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism of Chronic Kidney Disease (Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis)

Further study details as provided by Amgen:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 073 compared with placebo by determining the proportion of subjects with a mean intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) value <= 250 pg/mL (26.5 pmol/L) during the efficacy assessment phase. [ Time Frame: Efficacy Assessment phase - final 10 weeks of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 073 compared with placebo by determining: the proportion of subjects with a reduction from baseline in mean iPTH of >= 30% during the efficacy assessment phase [ Time Frame: Efficacy Assessment phase - final 10 weeks of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 073 compared with placebo by determining: percentage change from baseline in iPTH during the efficacy assessment phase [ Time Frame: Efficacy Assessment phase - final 10 weeks of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To evaluate the safety of AMG 073 compared with placebo [ Time Frame: Entire study - 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
