Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) leads to cardiovascular calcification, which affects survival and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease. Cinacalcet is used to control SHPT, but it may induce gastrointestinal symptoms, resulting in lower adherence and insufficient dosages. Therefore, a need exists to develop new calcimimetics that cause fewer gastrointestinal symptoms. Here we conducted a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy trial for a head-to-head comparison of the efficacy and safety of evocalcet, a new oral calcimimetic, to the established cinacalcet. Japanese patients with SHPT on hemodialysis were randomized to receive evocalcet or cinacalcet (317 patients each) for 30 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was non-inferiority of evocalcet to cinacalcet in the proportion of patients achieving a mean intact parathyroid hormone level of 60 to 240 pg/mL from week 28 to 30 (non-infer...
