  • one central laboratory draw at the screen visit showing a plasma PTH \> 55 pg/mL (5.8 pmol/L) OR
  • two central laboratory draws performed during the screening period at least 7 days apart, showing a
  • corrected total serum calcium \> 11.3 mg/dL (2.82 mmol/L) and ≤ 12.5 mg/dL (3.12 mmol/L), and
  • plasma PTH \> 55 pg/mL (5.8 pmol/L)

  • parathyroidectomy not considered appropriate or is not feasible by primary physician and subject
  • before any study-specific procedure is performed, the appropriate written informed consent must be obtained

Exclusion

  • symptoms attributable to hypercalcemia, requiring immediate medical intervention, as judged by the investigator (including acute kidney stone, nausea and vomiting requiring intravenous hydration, confusion, lethargy, stupor, or coma)
  • unstable medical condition, defined as having been hospitalized within 30 days before the date of informed consent, or otherwise unstable in the judgment of the investigator
  • administration of drugs that increase serum calcium concentration, including but not limited to thiazide diuretics or lithium
  • initiated bisphosphonate therapy or changed bisphosphonate dose within 12 weeks before the date of informed consent
  • current administration of drugs for ventricular arrhythmia
  • unable to provide informed consent, or is at risk for poor compliance with study procedures
  • currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug study(s), or completed such study within 30 days before the date of informed consent
  • known hypersensitivity to or unable to tolerate cinacalcet
  • received treatment with cinacalcet within 60 days before the date of informed consent
  • history of seizures or an adjustment of anti-seizure medication within 12 weeks before the date of informed consent
  • family history or diagnosis a genetic syndrome, such as familial benign hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FBHH) or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and type 2 (MEN2), where primary HPT is one of the clinical manifestations of familial benign hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FBHH)
  • refused to use highly effective contraceptive measures (as determined by the investigator) throughout the study
  • pregnant or breastfeeding
