Record ID 32004000799
English, French
Authors' objectives:
To summarize the available information on the use of cinacalcet (Trade Name: Sensipar, manufactured by Amgen Inc.) for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Authors' recommendations:
Cinacalcet will likely be most widely used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism related to kidney disease. Although it improves physiologic outcomes, there is a lack of evidence to assess its impact on clinical outcomes such as death, bone disease, and cardiovascular events. A pharmacoeconomic analysis would further define its role.
