    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cinacalcet after a single oral dose in children aged 28 days to less than 6 years with chronic kidney disease receiving dialysis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and other local regulations/ guidelines. The study and all amendments were reviewed by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) at each center. Before any study-specific screening procedures were performed, written informed consent was obtained from the subject’s parent or legally acceptable representative. The investigator was responsible for providing the subject’s legally acceptable representative an adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study. A conservative single, oral dosing strategy of 0.25 mg/kg cinacalcet in pediatric subjects aged 28 days to less than 6 years old was implemented. This dose is approximately half the adult starting dose on a mg/kg basis, and is lower than the mean dose of 0.39 mg/kg previously studied in 12 subjects age 6 to < 18 years in Study 20030227. To monitor subject safety, serum calcium and phosphorus were monitored throughout the study. To minimize blood loss due to the study, the blood volume required for safety laboratory and PK assessment were minimized and the number of collections reduced to the minimum requirement to enable the endpoints of this study to be analyzed.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Jun 2010
    - This protocol was amended in response to a request by the MHRA to provide detailed procedures for reporting and recording adverse events in accordance with the EU Clinical Trials Directive. Specifically, details on adverse event reporting procedures were added to Section 9.3.
    20 Aug 2010
    - This protocol was amended to include the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) Pediatric Committee (PDCO) requirement for ionized calcium, ie, total calcium, albumin corrected calcium, and ionized calcium; updated corresponding sections as appropriate. - Changes were made to the inclusion/exclusion criteria to address comments from the Medicines for Children Research Network (MCRN) in the United Kingdom. o Removed inclusion criterion requirement to be hemodynamically and neurologically stable for at least 4 weeks postpartum if < 6 months old o Changed inclusion criterion hemoglobin requirement to ≥ 8 g/dL at screening and at day -1. o Defined major surgery under exclusion criteria as any surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia or respiratory assistance.
    04 Jan 2011
    - This protocol was amended in response to comments by the FDA as follows: o Secondary hyperparathyroidism was added to the CKD diagnosis in the inclusion criteria. o The day 1, 4-hour postdose blood collection was changed to 2 hours postdose and a 12-hour, postdose blood collection was added for subjects weighing ≥ 7.5 kg. Blood sampling procedures and volumes for calcium and iPTH were updated accordingly. - Serum calcium laboratory results were clarified as ≥ 2.1 mmol/L or within normal ranges at screening and day -1. - Statistical analyses for the pharmacokinetics parameters AUC, t1/2, Cmax, and tmax were clarified. - The US was added as a location for new study centers and the IRB was added where appropriate. - Schedule of Assessments and footnotes were updated.
    11 Apr 2011
    - This protocol was amended in response to FDA comments and clarifications made by the study team. Since hemodialysis can change a subject’s clinical chemistry test results, blood sample collections were modified to be concurrent with hemodialysis. Changes included the following: o The pharmacodynamics blood sample collection was changed to include randomization into 2 pharmacodynamic sampling sequences (a and b) within each age group. Six subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into 1 of the following pharmacodynamics sampling sequences: a) approximately day 1: -2, 8 and 48 hours postdose; or b) approximately day 1: -2, 12 and 48 hours postdose. Blood collection volumes were updated as appropriate. o If the safety blood sample collection was concurrent with or within 4 hours after hemodialysis, only albumin, calcium, and iPTH levels were required to be tested for that time point. o The sample size consideration section was updated. - Serum calcium requirement in inclusion criteria was changed to within normal ranges at screening and day -1. - A description of cinacalcet investigational product was added. - Schedule of Assessments and footnotes were updated.
    14 Jun 2011
    - The protocol was amended to add randomization by IVRS to assign subjects to 1 of the 2 pharmacodynamic sampling sequences and revise the reporting period for adverse event collection to begin following initiation of investigational product. - Due to the addition of the IVRS, the time of enrollment was redefined as the time of randomization. - With reference to the ICF, the term “subject” was updated to “subject’s parent or legally acceptable representative (SPoLAR)” and “assent” was removed throughout the protocol. Information regarding the treatment of hypocalcemia was moved to the Concomitant Therapy section. - Stopping rules were clarified to apply at the age group or study level. The use of CTCAE v4.0 was clarified. - Sites were required to report dialysis and dialysate information for subjects undergoing dialysis on study day -1 through day 4. - Wording changes and clarifications were made throughout the document as appropriate.
    28 Oct 2013
    - This protocol was amended to comply with DMC recommendations after review of the cinacalcet program following a fatality in the pediatric Study 20070208, which includes: o Revision of the inclusion/exclusion criteria to exclude subjects with prolonged QTc interval, corrected QTc (Bazett’s) > 500 ms, or QTc (Bazett’s) ≥ 450 ms and ≥ 500 ms during screening; exclusion of subjects who used drugs which may prolong QTc interval within 28 days prior to enrollment. o Addition of an updated safety summary from the cinacalcet pediatric program including a description of the fatality in Study 20070208. o Addition of a second follow-up phone call for all subjects at day 30 for assessment of serious adverse events. - Based on available study data showing no age-related differences in safety and pharmacokinetics profile, the Age Group 28 days to < 3 years and the Age Group ≥ 3 years to < 6 years were merged into a single age group comprising approximately 12 subjects. Appropriate changes were made throughout the document. - Updated inclusion criterion to “age-appropriate” serum calcium normal ranges at screening and day -1. - Section on overdosing effects of cinacalcet was added. - Specified the Safety Analysis Set for the analysis of all endpoints. - Updated statistical analysis of pharmacokinetics parameters.
    20 May 2015
    - To align with other, ongoing, pediatric clinical trials of cinacalcet, the following changes were made: o Modified the exclusion criterion from a history of seizures to new onset of seizure or worsening of a pre-existing seizure disorder within 2 months prior to investigational product administration. o Updated the Investigational Product Dosage and Administration to clarify the water preparation was only for administration through nasogastric or gastric tubes, while the syrup formulation could be used for either oral or nasogastric/gastric tube administration. - The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics endpoints were updated to align with the Study 20090005 SAP and PIP Key Elements Form.
