Background

Data are limited on the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of cinacalcet (CIN) in children with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) on dialysis. In this phase 2, multicenter, 26-week, single-arm, open-label study, we evaluated CIN+standard of care that includes vitamin D sterols in pediatric subjects with SHPT on dialysis.

Methods

Pediatric subjects ages 28d to <6yrs with SHPT on dialysis with parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels≥300pg/mL and serum corrected Ca≥9.4mg/dL (28d to <2yrs) or ≥8.8mg/dL (2 to <6yrs) were evaluated. The daily starting and maximum dose of CIN were changed during the study from 0.25mg/kg and 4.2mg/kg to 0.20mg/kg and 2.5mg/kg or 60mg maximum, whichever was lower. Primary endpoint: the proportion of subjects who developed cCa<9.0mg/dL (28d to <2yrs) and <8.4mg/dL (≥2 to <6yrs); secondary endpoints: percent change of plasma PTH from baseline, ≥30% reduction from baseline in PTH, PTH<300pg/mL, and cCa<8.8mg/dL. Nature, frequency, and severity of adverse events (AEs) were summarized.

Results

17/18 enrolled subjects received ≥1dose of CIN; 66.7% were boys, 83.3% white, and mean age was 35.9mos. Mean CIN exposure time was 86.7days and the maximum daily dose of CIN was 30mg (2 subjects). Mean (SD) weight-adjusted daily starting dose and maximum dose during the study was 0.18(0.07)mg/kg and 0.73(0.66)mg/kg, respectively. No subject had cCa<9.0 or <8.4mg/dL for the 2 groups and 2 subjects (2 to <6yrs group) had cCa<8.8mg/dL. Overall, 70.6% of subjects showed reductions in PTH≥30% and 52.9% subjects achieved PTH<300pg/mL during the study. All subjects received therapy with vitamin D sterols during the study. 94.1% of subjects had ≥1 treatment-emergent AE. The most common AEs were cough, hypertension, upper respiratory tract infection, and vomiting. There were no treatment-related serious AEs, fatal AEs nor AE leading to the discontinuation of CIN.

Conclusion

No subject had a Ca value below the threshold for the primary endpoint. Data show a downward trend in PTH from baseline after CIN administration. Safety data were consistent with the known safety profile.
