GroupInterventionDescription
PlaceboPlaceboParticipants received placebo administered by intravenous injection at the end of each hemodialysis session three times a week (TIW).
EtelcalcetideEtelcalcetideParticipants received etelcalcetide administered by intravenous injection at the end of each hemodialysis session three times a week (TIW). The starting dose level was 5 mg; dose escalation was to proceed to 10 and 20 mg pending safety review of the prior cohort.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Pre-hemodialysis Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) During the Efficacy Assessment PhaseBaseline and the efficacy assessment phase (EAP; defined as the period between 3 days before and 3 days after the last dose of study drug; approximately 2 weeks for Cohort 1 and 4 weeks for Cohorts 2 and 3)

Baseline is defined as the average of pre-hemodialysis values obtained on day -2 and day 1. The efficacy assessment phase (defined as 3 days before and 3 days after the last dose of investigational product) value is the mean of all predialysis values obtained during that period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Mean Phosphorus ≤ 4.5 mg/dL or ≤ 5.5 mg/dL During the Efficacy Assessment PhaseEfficacy assessment phase
Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Corrected Calcium (cCa) During the Efficacy Assessment PhaseBaseline and the efficacy assessment phase (from 3 days before to 3 days after the last dose of study drug; approximately 2 weeks for Cohort 1 and 4 weeks for Cohorts 2 and 3)

Baseline is defined as the average of pre-hemodialysis values obtained on day -2 and day 1. The efficacy assessment phase (defined as 3 days before and 3 days after the last dose of investigational product) value is the mean of all predialysis values obtained during that period.

Percentage of Participants With ≥ 30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Parathyroid Hormone During the Efficacy Assessment PhaseBaseline and the efficacy assessment phase (from 3 days before to 3 days after the last dose of study drug; approximately 2 weeks for Cohort 1 and 4 weeks for Cohorts 2 and 3)

Baseline is defined as the average of pre-hemodialysis values obtained on day -2 and day 1. The efficacy assessment phase (defined as 3 days before and 3 days after the last dose of investigational product) value is the mean of all predialysis values obtained during that period.

Percentage of Participants With Mean Parathyroid Hormone ≤ 300 pg/mL During the Efficacy Assessment PhaseEfficacy assessment phase (from 3 days before to 3 days after the last dose of study drug; approximately 2 weeks for Cohort 1 and 4 weeks for Cohorts 2 and 3)

The efficacy assessment phase (defined as 3 days before and 3 days after the last dose of investigational product) value is the mean of all predialysis values obtained during that period.

Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Phosphorus (P) During the Efficacy Assessment PhaseBaseline and the efficacy assessment phase (from 3 days before to 3 days after the last dose of study drug; approximately 2 weeks for Cohort 1 and 4 weeks for Cohorts 2 and 3)

Baseline is defined as the average of pre-hemodialysis values obtained on day -2 and day 1. The efficacy assessment phase (defined as 3 days before and 3 days after the last dose of investigational product) value is the mean of all predialysis values obtained during that period.

Percent Change From Baseline in Corrected Calcium Phosphorus Product (cCa x P) During the Efficacy Assessment PhaseBaseline and the efficacy assessment phase (from 3 days before to 3 days after the last dose of study drug; approximately 2 weeks for Cohort 1 and 4 weeks for Cohorts 2 and 3)

Baseline is defined as the average of pre-hemodialysis values obtained on day -2 and day 1. The efficacy assessment phase (defined as 3 days before and 3 days after the last dose of investigational product) value is the mean of all predialysis values obtained during that period.
