Modality Small Molecule
Etelcalcetide is a calcium sensing receptor agonist used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease who require hemodialysis.
Parsabiv
Generic Name Etelcalcetide
DrugBank Accession Number DB12865
Etelcalcetide is a calcimimetic drug for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Etelcalcetide was approved (trade name Parsabiv) for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis in February, 2017.

Following a single intravenous bolus administration of etelcalcetide, PTH levels decreased within 30 minutes post dose. In the single-dose study, the extent and duration of the reduction in PTH increased with increasing dose. Reduction in PTH levels correlated with plasma etelcalcetide concentrations in hemodialysis patients. The reduction in PTH resulted in reductions in calcium and attenuation of post-dialytic phosphate elevation. The effect of reducing PTH levels was maintained throughout the 6-month dosing period when etelcalcetide was administered by intravenous bolus three times a week.
Etelcalcetide is a calcimimetic agent that allosterically modulates the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). Etelcalcetide binds to the CaSR and enhances activation of the receptor by extracellular calcium. Activation of the CaSR on parathyroid chief cells decreases PTH secretion.
The pharmacokinetics of etelcalcetide is linear and does not change over time following single (5 to 60 mg) and multiple intravenous doses (2.5 to 20 mg) in chronic kidney disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism requiring hemodialysis. Etelcalcetide exhibited tri-exponential decay following intravenous administration. Based on population pharmacokinetic analysis, following three times a week intravenous dosing at the end of each 3- to 6-hour hemodialysis session in chronic kidney disease patients, etelcalcetide plasma levels reached steady state in 7-8 weeks after dosing with a predicted accumulation ratio of 3- to 4-fold

Etelcalcetide is predominately bound to plasma albumin by reversible covalent binding. Non-covalent binding of etelcalcetide to plasma proteins is low with a fraction unbound ratio of 0.53. The ratio of blood-to-plasma [14C]-etelcalcetide concentrations is approximately 0.6.
Etelcalcetide is not metabolized by CYP450 enzymes. Etelcalcetide is biotransformed in blood by reversible disulfide exchange with endogenous thiols to predominantly form conjugates with serum albumin. Following a single radiolabeled dose of etelcalcetide in chronic kidney disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism requiring hemodialysis, the plasma exposure of biotransformation products is approximately 5-fold higher than that of etelcalcetide and their concentration-time course parallels that of etelcalcetide.
Etelcalcetide is cleared by renal excretion
