Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To demonstrate the efficacy of cinacalcet for reducing the plasma intact parathyroid hormone level (iPTH) by ≥ 30% [ Time Frame: From baseline to end of Efficacy Assessment Period, assessed up to 30 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To demonstrate the efficacy of cinacalcet for lowering the plasma iPTH level to ≤ 300 pg/mL (31.8 pmol/L) [ Time Frame: From baseline to end of Efficacy Assessment Period, assessed up to 30 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To demonstrate the impact of cinacalcet on corrected total serum calcium level [ Time Frame: From baseline to end of Efficacy Assessment Period, assessed up to 30 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To demonstrate the impact of cinacalcet on serum phosphorus level [ Time Frame: From baseline to end of Efficacy Assessment Period, assessed up to 30 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To demonstrate the impact of cinacalcet on the calcium x phosphorus product (Ca x P) [ Time Frame: From baseline to end of Efficacy Assessment Period, assessed up to 30 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Evaluate number of participants with adverse events, and frequency of episodes of hypocalcemia [ Time Frame: Throughout entire treatment period, up to 60 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Measure change in height to assess overall growth velocity [ Time Frame: From baseline to end of Efficacy Assessment at Week 30, and from Week 30 to end of entire treatment at Week 60 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To measure the percent change in ionized calcium [ Time Frame: From baseline to the end of Efficacy Assessment Period up to 30 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Placebo Comparator: placebo Drug: placebo capsule

For subjects who cannot swallow pills, supplied in 5mg capsules which are sprinkled on food. Dosing is determined by subject weight with specific doses from 2.5 mg to 180 mg.

Subjects will be eligible for a dose increase once every 4 weeks during the titration phase based on corrected total serum calcium values, iPTH values, and subject safety information. Dose decreases will be permitted at any time during the study.

Drug: placebo tablet

For subjects who can swallow pills, tablets supplied for titration in doses of 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 mg in addition to 5mg capsules which are sprinkled on food. Dosing is determined by subject weight with specific doses from 2.5 mg to 180 mg.

Subjects will be eligible for a dose increase once every 4 weeks during the titration phase based on corrected total serum calcium values, iPTH values, and subject safety information. Dose decreases will be permitted at any time during the study.

Active Comparator: cinacalcet Drug: cinacalcet capsule

Detailed Description:

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a condition that can develop early in people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), usually gets worse over time, and is known to cause problems for people 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, 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 parathyroid hormone in a larger number of pediatric subjects with CKD who are receiving dialysis, compared to a program that does not include cinacalcet.
