Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is caused by parathyroid adenoma, primary parathyroid hyperplasia, or parathyroid carcinoma. For some patients with PHPT controlling serum calcium levels is critical. Materials and methods We conducted an open-label, single-arm, 52-week, phase III study in Japanese patients with hypercalcemia due to PHPT to demonstrate efficacy and safety of evocalcet, a new calcimimetic. Patients with intractable PHPT (n = 13), postsurgical recurrence (n = 2), and parathyroid carcinoma (n = 3) were enrolled. Evocalcet administration started at a dose of 2 mg once or twice daily and was titrated to achieve the target serum corrected calcium (cCa) concentration (= 1.0 mg/dL from the baseline for two consecutive weeks during the titration phase. Sixteen patients entered the maintenance phase, and 15 patients completed the study. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded in 18/18 patients (100%) and drug-related TEAEs in 8/18 (44.4%). The most commonly observed drug-related TEAE was nausea (2/18 patients). No unexpected drug-related TEAEs were observed. All drug-related TEAEs were mild in severity. No patient discontinued the study because of drug-related TEAEs. Conclusion Evocalcet demonstrated long-term effectiveness in reducing serum cCa concentrations and safety without any unexpected drug-related TEAEs in PHPT patients.
