Eligibility

Recruits 24 paediatric patients.

Pregnancy Exclusion
Female subject is pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during treatment and for an additional 3 months after the last dose of etelcalcetide. (Females of childbearing potential should only be included in the study after a confirmed menstrual period and a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of investigational product).
Vulnerable Population
Study population includes children and adolescents aged ≥2 to <18 years. Informed consent must be provided by the subject’s legally acceptable representative when the subject is legally too young; the subject must provide written assent based on local regulations and/or guidelines prior to any study-specific activities. Age-specific assent and consent documents are prepared (multiple adolescent/child/parent assent and ICF documents listed in trial documents).
