SENSOR: Study to InvestigatE Cinacalcet TreatmeNt in Haemodialysis Patients With SecOndary HyperparathyRoidism

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the efficacy of cinacalcet when co-administered with the first meal after dialysis is comparable (non-inferior) to the efficacy of cinacalcet when administered during the dialysis study visit.

Inclusion Criteria: - CKD patients requiring dialysis (HD, HDF, HF) for at least 1 month before enrolment - An iPTH determination within 14 days before randomisation must be greater than or equal to 300 pg/mL (biPTH greater than or equal to 150 pg/mL) - A serum calcium determination (corrected for calcium) within 14 days before randomisation must be greater than or equal to 8.4 mg/dL [2.1 mmol/L] Exclusion Criteria: - Have an unstable medical condition, defined as having been hospitalised, other than for dialysis vascular access revision, within 30 days before day 1, or otherwise unstable in the judgment of the investigator - Are currently breast-feeding - Are performing peritoneal dialysis - Have had a parathyroidectomy in the 3 months before day 1 - Have a gastrointestinal disorder that may be associated with impaired absorption of orally administered medications or an inability to swallow tablets
