Indications & Usage

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Cinacalcet is a positive modulator of the calcium sensing receptor indicated for: Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. ( 1.1 ) Limitations of Use : Cinacalcet tablets are not indicated for use in patients with CKD who are not on dialysis Hypercalcemia in adult patients with Parathyroid Carcinoma (PC). ( 1.2 ) Hypercalcemia in adult patients with primary HPT for whom parathyroidectomy would be indicated on the basis of serum calcium levels, but who are unable to undergo parathyroidectomy. ( 1.3 ) 1.1 Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Cinacalcet tablets are indicated for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Limitations of Use: Cinacalcet tablets are not indicated for use in patients with CKD who are not on dialysis because of an increased risk of hypocalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. 1.2 Parathyroid Carcinoma Cinacalcet tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypercalcemia in adult patients with Parathyroid Carcinoma [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . 1.3 Primary Hyperparat

Dosage & Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Cinacalcet tablets should be taken with food or shortly after a meal ( 2.1 ). Tablets should always be taken whole and not divided ( 2.1 ) Secondary HPT in patients with CKD on dialysis ( 2.2 ): Starting dose is 30 mg once daily. Titrate dose no more frequently than every 2 to 4 weeks through sequential doses of 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 mg once daily as necessary to achieve targeted intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels. iPTH levels should be measured no earlier than 12 hours after most recent dose. Hypercalcemia in patients with PC or hypercalcemia in patients with primary HPT ( 2.3 ): Starting dose is 30 mg twice daily. Titrate dose every 2 to 4 weeks through sequential doses of 30 mg twice daily, 60 mg twice daily, 90 mg twice daily, and 90 mg three or four times daily as necessary to normalize serum calcium levels. Once the maintenance dose has been established, monitor serum calcium approximately monthly for patients with secondary HPT and every 2 months for patients with PC or primary HPT ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Administration Cinacalcet tablets should be taken with food or shortly after a meal. Cinacalcet tablets are administered orally and should always b

Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Cinacalcet tablets treatment initiation is contraindicated if serum calcium is less than the lower limit of the normal range [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Cinacalcet tablets treatment initiation is contraindicated if serum calcium is less than the lower limit of the normal range. ( 4 , 5.1 )

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Co-administration with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor may increase serum levels of cinacalcet. Dose adjustment and monitoring of iPTH serum phosphorus and serum calcium may be required. ( 7.1 ) Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6. Dose adjustments may be required for concomitant medications that are predominantly metabolized by CYP2D6. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by CYP3A4. Dose adjustment of cinacalcet tablets may be required if a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole). The iPTH and serum calcium concentrations should be closely monitored in these patients [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.2 CYP2D6 Substrates Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6. Dose adjustments may be required for concomitant medications that are predominantly metabolized by CYP2D6 (e.g., desipramine, metoprolol, and carvedilol) and particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index (e.g., flecainide and most tricyclic antidepressants) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Adverse Reactions

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of labeling: Hypocalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Hypotension, Worsening Heart Failure and/or Arrhythmias [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Adynamic Bone Disease [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] The most common adverse reactions (i.e., ≥ 25%) associated with cinacalcet were nausea and vomiting. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Cipla Ltd., at 1-866-604-3268 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis In three double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials, 1126 patients with CKD on dialysis received study drug (656 cinacalcet, 470 placebo) for up to 6 months.
