Active vitamin D derivatives attenuate the severity of secondary hyperparathyroidism but often increase serum calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) as a result of enhanced intestinal absorption. The calcimimetic cinacalcet HCl lowers parathyroid hormone (PTH) and tends to decrease Ca x P. A 16-wk, open-label clinical trial was conducted in adult hemodialysis patients who had controlled PTH (biointact PTH [biPTH] 80 to 160 pg/ml) and elevated Ca x P (> 55 mg2/dl2) and were receiving paricalcitol > 6 microg/wk (or an equipotent dose of an alternative active vitamin D derivative). At the start of the study, active vitamin D derivatives were decreased to a mean equivalent dose of paricalcitol 6 microg/wk, and cinacalcet was titrated from 30 mg/d to a maximum possible dose of 180 mg/d. Of the 72 study patients, 53 (74%) completed 8 wk of dose titration with cinacalcet. In response to cinacalcet, the following mean percentage changes were observed: biPTH, -1.8%; Ca, -9.7% (P < 0.0001), phosphorus, -11.1% (P < 0.0001), and Ca x P, -20.1% (P < 0.0001). At the end of the study, approximate Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative targets for biPTH (< or = 160 pg/ml) were achieved in 85% (45 of 53) of patients and for Ca x P (< or = 55 mg2/dl2) in 72% (38 of 53) of patients. Concurrent achievement of both targets occurred in 47% (25 of 53) of patients. In this open-label clinical trial, hemodialysis patients who had controlled PTH but elevated Ca x P and were taking moderate- to high-dose active vitamin D derivatives achieved improved control of mineral metabolism with a combination of low-dose active vitamin D derivatives and cinacalcet. The long-term effects of this treatment regimen on clinical outcomes should be tested prospectively.
活性维生素D衍生物可减轻继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的严重程度,但由于肠道吸收增强,常导致血清钙(Ca)和磷(P)升高。拟钙剂西那卡塞盐酸盐可降低甲状旁腺激素(PTH),并倾向于降低Ca×P。对接受帕立骨化醇>6μg/周(或等效剂量的其他活性维生素D衍生物)、PTH得到控制(生物活性完整PTH[biPTH]80至160pg/ml)且Ca×P升高(>55mg²/dl²)的成年血液透析患者进行了一项为期16周的开放标签临床试验。在研究开始时,将活性维生素D衍生物降至帕立骨化醇平均等效剂量6μg/周,并将西那卡塞从30mg/d滴定至最大可能剂量180mg/d。72例研究患者中,53例(74%)完成了8周的西那卡塞剂量滴定。对西那卡塞的反应观察到以下平均百分比变化:biPTH,-1.8%;Ca,-9.7%(P<0.0001),磷,-11.1%(P<0.0001),以及Ca×P,-20.1%(P<0.0001)。在研究结束时,85%(53例中的45例)的患者达到了生物活性完整PTH(≤160pg/ml)的近似肾脏病预后质量倡议目标,72%(53例中的38例)的患者达到了Ca×P(≤55mg²/dl²)的目标。47%(53例中的25例)的患者同时实现了两个目标。在这项开放标签临床试验中,PTH得到控制但Ca×P升高且正在服用中高剂量活性维生素D衍生物的血液透析患者,通过低剂量活性维生素D衍生物和西那卡塞联合使用,实现了矿物质代谢的更好控制。该治疗方案对临床结局的长期影响应进行前瞻性测试。
