SENSIPAR (cinacalcet hydrochloride) is an oral small-molecule calcimimetic agent that allosterically modulates the calcium-sensing receptor on the parathyroid gland. It reduces parathyroid hormone (PTH) and serum calcium levels in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease. This mechanism allows non-surgical management of hyperparathyroid conditions.
The product is in late-stage lifecycle with significant patent exclusivity expiring in 2026, likely resulting in reduced team size and shift toward legacy management and transition planning.
