Placebo-Controlled Studies
Real-World Evidence
Head-to-Head Study
Parsabiv®
(etelcalcetide) safety and efficacy were evaluated
in 2 placebo-controlled studies1,3-7
Study Design


*Stratified by region, mean screening PTH, and recent oral cincacalcet use.
78% of patients who received Parsabiv®
achieved > 30% reduction in mean PTH8


One-third of patients given Parsabiv® had a reduction in PTH
by week 4*—and by week 8 that number nearly doubled9
Post-hoc analysis: Time to first occurrence* of > 30% reduction
in iPTH from combined placebo-controlled studies


Rolling averages of 3 iPTH values (from previous, current, and next visit) were used.
Parsabiv® provided significant reductions across 3 key

The majority of patients
given Parsabiv® achieved the KDIGO®
goal range* for PTH12,13
Subgroup analysis: Patients achieving iPTH < 600 pg/mL during EAP by screening iPTH3,12


Overall, 76.5% of Parsabiv® patients (n = 497) achieved PTH < 600 pg/mL during the combined phase 3 trials.12
Secondary endpoint: In phase 3 trials, 53.4% of Parsabiv® patients achieved iPTH ≤ 300 pg/mL vs 5.8% of placebo patients
during the EAP (P < 0.001).8
Analysis is exploratory and has not been adjusted for multiple comparisons. No conclusions of statistical or clinical significance can be drawn.

Real-World Evidence collection criteria2
Retrospective analysis of patients collected from large and medium dialysis organizations,
which traditionally have more protocol restrictions
ALADIN* data reports include lab values for 1983 adult patients new to Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide) between February 2018 through June 2020
Parsabiv® dosing was consistent with prescribing information
Real-World Evidence:
64% of patients prescribed Parsabiv®
achieved a > 30% reduction PTH by week 242
Percentage of patients achieving > 30% reduction in mean iPTH from index date


Data are derived from real-world sources and not from a controlled clinical study. Analysis is exploratory and has not been
adjusted for multiple comparisons. No conclusion of statistical or clinical significance can be drawn.


Real-World Evidence:
Parsabiv® achieved reductions in all 3 sHPT labs2


Real-World Evidence:
Patients given Parsabiv® achieved PTH < 600 pg/mL at
week 24 when initiated at baseline PTH ≤ 1000 pg/mL2


Data are derived from real-world sources and not from a controlled clinical study. Analysis is exploratory and has not been
adjusted for multiple comparisons. No conclusion of statistical or clinical significance can be drawn.
Real-World Evidence:
The majority of patients given Parsabiv® achieved the
KDIGO® goal range* for PTH2,4,6
% of patients who achieved iPTH < 600 pg/mL by week 242,6


Values represent percent of patients achieving the iPTH goal of < 600 pg/mL within 24 weeks. Overall, 77% of patients
(n = 1535) achieved PTH < 600 pg/mL. 43% of patients (n= 859) achieved PTH ≤ 300 pg/mL.6
Data are derived from real-world sources and not from a controlled clinical study. Analysis is exploratory and has not been
adjusted for multiple comparisons. No conclusion of statistical or clinical significance can be drawn.
Real-World Evidence:
3 key lab levels and average Parsabiv® dose1,2,7,8


Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide) was evaluated in a head-to-head study vs
Sensipar® (oral cinacalcet) tablets4,5
Study Design


97% for Parsabiv®
94% for Sensipar®A higher relative starting dose
Higher relative dose increments per dose escalation steps Fewer dose steps needed to reach the maximally recommended dose
Parsabiv® and Sensipar® patients who
achieved a > 30% reduction from baseline in mean PTH4,5
Percentage of patients achieving > 30% reduction in mean iPTH from baseline


Given the single, limited-duration (26-week) study design and important study information, these data should not be
interpreted as providing evidence of superiority of Parsabiv® to Sensipar®. The potential impact of the difference between
treatment groups on clinical outcomes has not been studied, and the clinical meaningfulness of such a difference is unknown.
Because the primary endpoint was met, the statistical analysis plan called for the sequential testing of the key secondary endpoints,
including mean number of days of vomiting or nausea per week in the first 8 weeks.

Nephrology professionals discuss the ins and outs of using Parsabiv® in the clinic
Contraindication: Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide) is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to
etelcalcetide or any of its excipients. Hypersensitivity reactions, including face edema and anaphylactic reaction,
have occurred.
Hypocalcemia: Parsabiv® lowers serum calcium and can lead to hypocalcemia, sometimes severe. Significant
lowering of serum calcium can cause QT interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmia. Patients with
conditions that predispose to QT interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmia may be at increased risk for
QT interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias if they develop hypocalcemia due to Parsabiv®. Closely
monitor corrected serum calcium and QT interval in patients at risk on Parsabiv®.
Significant reductions in corrected serum calcium may lower the threshold for seizures. Patients with a history of
seizure disorder may be at increased risk for seizures if they develop hypocalcemia due to Parsabiv®. Monitor
corrected serum calcium in patients with seizure disorders on Parsabiv®.
Concurrent administration of Parsabiv® with another oral calcimimetic could result in severe, life-threatening
hypocalcemia. Patients switching from cinacalcet to Parsabiv® should discontinue cinacalcet for at least 7 days
prior to initiating Parsabiv®. Closely monitor corrected serum calcium in patients receiving Parsabiv® and
concomitant therapies known to lower serum calcium.
Measure corrected serum calcium prior to initiation of Parsabiv®. Do not initiate in patients if the corrected serum
calcium is less than the lower limit of normal. Monitor corrected serum calcium within 1 week after initiation or
dose adjustment and every 4 weeks during treatment with Parsabiv®. Measure PTH 4 weeks after initiation or
dose adjustment of Parsabiv®. Once the maintenance dose has been established, measure PTH per clinical
practice.
Worsening Heart Failure: In Parsabiv® clinical studies, cases of hypotension, congestive heart failure, and
decreased myocardial performance have been reported. Closely monitor patients treated with Parsabiv® for
worsening signs and symptoms of heart failure.
Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: In clinical studies, 2 patients treated with Parsabiv® in 1253 patient years of
exposure had upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding at the time of death. The exact cause of GI bleeding in these
patients is unknown and there were too few cases to determine whether these cases were related to Parsabiv®.
Patients with risk factors for upper GI bleeding, such as known gastritis, esophagitis, ulcers or severe vomiting,
may be at increased risk for GI bleeding with Parsabiv®. Monitor patients for worsening of common Parsabiv® GI
adverse reactions and for signs and symptoms of GI bleeding and ulcerations during Parsabiv® therapy.
Adynamic Bone: Adynamic bone may develop if PTH levels are chronically suppressed.
Adverse Reactions: In clinical trials of patients with secondary HPT comparing Parsabiv® to placebo, the most
common adverse reactions were blood calcium decreased (64% vs. 10%), muscle spasms (12% vs. 7%), diarrhea
(11% vs. 9%), nausea (11% vs. 6%), vomiting (9% vs. 5%), headache (8% vs. 6%), hypocalcemia (7% vs. 0.2%), and
paresthesia (6% vs. 1%).
Indication
Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide) is indicated for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in adult patients
with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis.
Limitations of Use: Parsabiv® has not been studied in adult patients with parathyroid carcinoma, primary
hyperparathyroidism, or with CKD who are not on hemodialysis and is not recommended for use in these
populations.
