A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Cinacalcet HCl in Participants With CKD Not Receiving Dialysis

TL;DR: It is shown that cinacalcet treatment in patients with CKD not receiving dialysis can decrease plasma iPTH levels, but with frequent (albeit generally asymptomatic) serum calcium levels less than 8.4 mg/dL and increases in serum phosphorus levels.

Successful treatment of calciphylaxis with cinacalcet—an alternative to parathyroidectomy?

TL;DR: The newly developed calcimimetic, cinacalcet (marketed as Mimpara in the EU, and as Sensipar in the USA by Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA, USA) produces rapid biochemical control of secondary hyperparathyroidism, and thus may represent an alternative treatment for patients with calciphylaxis.
