Interventions/Control_1

Group U: Upacicarsetona sodium hydrate
(Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd. and Kissei Pharmaceutical Industry Co. Product name: Upasita for Intravenous Dialysis)
Injected three times a week into the venous side of the dialysis circuit at the time of blood return at the end of dialysis.
<Starting dose> 25 mcg per dose for pre-dialysis serum intact PTH greater than 121 pg/mL and pre-dialysis serum corrected calcium concentration less than 9.0 mg/dL; 50 mcg per dose for pre-dialysis serum intact PTH greater than 121 pg/mL and pre-dialysis serum corrected calcium concentration greater than 9.0 mg/dL.
<Dose adjustment criteria>
<Dose escalation>
If pre-dialysis serum intact PTH is greater than 241 pg/mL, the dose should be increased by 1 step starting from the day after the maximum dialysis interval based on the following
1) Current dose has been maintained for at least 3 weeks by the time of dose escalation
2) Pre-dialysis serum corrected calcium concentration of 8.4 mg/dL or greater at the most recent dose increase
3) The investigator determines that there are no safety issues regarding dose escalation
<Dose Reduction>
If pre-dialysis serum intact PTH is less than 60 pg/mL, the dose should be reduced by 1 step from the next dose according to the following
1) If the pre-dialysis serum intact PTH concentration is less than 60 pg/mL for 2 consecutive weeks
(2) When the investigator determines that a dose reduction is necessary
<Withdrawal and Resumption of Dose>
Drug should be stopped immediately in any of the following cases
(1) Serum-corrected calcium concentration becomes less than 7.5 mg/dL
(2) When the investigator determines that a dose reduction is necessary
The drug should be withdrawn until the serum-corrected calcium concentration reaches 8.4 mg/dL or higher, and resumed at the dose before withdrawal or at a dose reduced by one step.
<Combination therapy>
1) Active vitamin D preparation
2) Phosphorus adsorbent

Interventions/Control_2

Group E: Etelcalcetide hydrochloride (Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Product name: Parsabiv for intravenous dialysis) injected three times a week into the venous side of the dialysis circuit during return blood at the end of dialysis.
<Starting dose> 5.0 mg once. The dose is adjusted based on pre-dialysis serum intact PTH measured every 2-4 weeks.
<Dose adjustment criteria>
<Dose escalation>
If pre-dialysis serum intact PTH is greater than 241 pg/mL, the dose should be increased by 1 step starting from the day after the maximum dialysis interval based on the following
1) Current dose has been maintained for at least 3 weeks by the time of dose escalation
2) Pre-dialysis serum corrected calcium concentration of 8.4 mg/dL or greater at the most recent dose increase
3) The investigator determines that there are no safety issues regarding dose escalation
<Dose Reduction>
If pre-dialysis serum intact PTH is less than 60 pg/mL, the dose should be reduced by 1 step from the next dose according to the following
1) If the pre-dialysis serum intact PTH concentration is less than 60 pg/mL for 2 consecutive weeks
(2) When the investigator determines that a dose reduction is necessary
<Withdrawal and Resumption of Dose>
Drug should be stopped immediately in any of the following cases
(1) Serum-corrected calcium concentration becomes less than 7.5 mg/dL
(2) When the investigator determines that a dose reduction is necessary
The drug should be withdrawn until the serum-corrected calcium concentration reaches 8.4 mg/dL or higher, and resumed at the dose before withdrawal or at a dose reduced by one step.
<Combination therapy>
1) Active vitamin D preparation
2) Phosphorus adsorbent
