This multicenter, open-label, single-arm, extension study was designed to evaluate long-term tolerability, safety, and efficacy of cinacalcet. Subjects were enrolled immediately after they completed the parent study, 990120. All subjects began treatment with 30 mg cinacalcet twice daily (BID), with dose adjustments made per protocol-specified guidelines. The study consisted of 2 consecutive phases that occurred in the following order: a dose-titration phase lasting 12 weeks and a maintenance phase lasting approximately 4½ years.

Subjects began open-label treatment with 30 mg cinacalcet twice daily (BID) at the start of the current study. The study consisted of 2 phases planned to total approximately 4¾ years: a 12-week dosetitration phase (visits at weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12) during which 1 possible dose increase of cinacalcet from 30 mg BID to 50 mg BID could occur at week 6, and a maintenance phase (week 12 to 234; visits approximately every 4 weeks until week 24 and approximately every 14 weeks thereafter) during which doses also could be titrated. After July 2004, because of a change in dose strengths, the daily doses used in the study were 30 and 60 mg BID with the option to reduce to 30 mg once daily (QD), if necessary. Ongoing subjects receiving 50 mg BID were switched at that time to 60 mg BID.
