Purpose Cinacalcet is a positive allosteric modulator of calcium-sensing receptors in the parathyroid gland and an effective treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism. However, this agent has considerable side effects and dosage limitations, which impair effective treatment. Therefore, we investigated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of the novel calcimimetic, evocalcet. Patients and methods This was a multicenter, open-label study of single oral doses of 1, 4, and 12 mg evocalcet using an intrapatient dose escalation protocol in 29 Japanese secondary hyperparathyroidism patients receiving hemodialysis. Pharmacokinetics was assessed by plasma evocalcet concentrations. Pharmacodynamic evaluations consisted of measuring intact parathyroid hormone, serum corrected calcium, and fibroblast growth factor 23 concentrations. Safety and tolerability were evaluated by the analysis of adverse events (AEs). Results After a single 1-, 4-, or 12-mg dose, plasma evocalcet levels increased dose proportionally in a linear manner. Pharmacodynamic analyses showed that evocalcet effectively reduced intact parathyroid hormone and serum corrected calcium levels in a dose-dependent manner. AEs occurred in 31.0%, 28.6%, and 38.5% of patients receiving a single dose of 1, 4, or 12 mg, respectively. Most AEs were mild in severity. Conclusion Evocalcet is effective in the short term, has linear pharmacokinetics, and is well tolerated as observed by the low incidence of AEs.

透析液の有効利用を図るために, 小容量の透析液バッチ槽を用い, これを一定時間毎に切り替える連続的バッチ透析法を考案した. 本方法による透析液節減効果について, one pool modelに基づくシミュレーション解析を行ったところ, 除去対象物質について臨床データ (体液量, 体内産生速度, 初期濃度), 透析条件 (全透析時間, 透析器ダイアリザンス) および除去必要量を設定することにより, 透析液必要量を最小にする最適バッチ透析条件 (バッチ槽体積, 切り替え時間およびこれに対応する切り替え回数) を求めることができた. 尿素を対象物質とすると, バッチ槽体積の増加とともに最適切り替え時間は増加したが, 透析液の使用量は, 除去必要量が少ない (25g以下) 場合に若干の低下傾向がみられるのを除き, 除去必要量にかかわらずほぼ一定であった. この成績から, 本法では通常のシングル・パス透析法と比較した場合透析液使用量が約50%低減し, 透析液利用効率の向上が示された. これらの検討結果に基づいて, 連続的バッチ透析装置の設計, 試作を行い, in vitro実験を行ったところ, シミュレーション解析の予測と良い対応を示した. 以上の成績より連続的バッチ透析法は, 血液透析における透析液必要量を節減し, そのコスト・パーフォーマンスの向上に有用であると考えられた.
