Etelcalcetide
Etelcalcetide is a D-amino peptide calcimimetic undergoing clinical evaluation for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis. Etelcalcetide is administered intravenously at the end of each dialysis session. It functions by binding to and activating the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the parathyroid gland as an allosteric activator, resulting in PTH reduction and suppression. Elevated PTH is often observe in patients with CKD.
On August 25, 2015 Amgen Inc. announced its submission of a New Drug Application to the Food and Drug Administration for etelcalcetide.
