Table 3. Summary of key studies assessing effectiveness of calcimimetics and calcilytics for FHH, NSHPT and ADH.
| Disorder | In vitro studies | In vivo studies |
|---|---|---|
| Hypercalcemic disorders | ||
| FHH1/NSHPT | NPS R-568 and cinacalcet enhance the signaling responses and cell-surface expression of loss-of-function FHH1/NSHPT-causing CaSR mutants (Leach et al., 2013; Rus et al., 2008) | Cinacalcet lowers serum calcium and PTH concentrations, and improves hypercalcemic symptoms in FHH1 patients (Alon and VandeVoorde, 2010; Rasmussen et al., 2011; Sethi et al., 2017) Cinacalcet lowers serum calcium and PTH concentrations in NSHPT patients harboring a heterozygous Arg185Gln CASR mutation (Fisher et al., 2015; Gannon et al., 2014; Reh et al., 2011), but is less effective for NSHPT caused by biallelic truncating CASR mutations (Atay et al., 2014; Garcia Soblechero et al., 2013) |
| FHH2 | Cinacalcet enhances the signaling responses of cells expressing loss-of-function FHH2-causing Ga11 mutants (Babinsky et al., 2016) | Cinacalcet lowers serum calcium and PTH concentrations in a mouse model for FHH2 (Howles et al., 2017), and also normalizes serum calcium concentrations in an FHH2 patient (Gorvin et al., 2018b) |
| FHH3 | Cinacalcet enhances the signaling responses of cells expressing loss-of-function FHH3-causing Arg15Cys, Arg15His, or Arg15Leu AP2σ mutants (Howles et al., 2016) | Cinacalcet lowers serum calcium and PTH concentrations, and improves hypercalcemic symptoms in FHH3 patients with Arg15Cys, Arg15His or Arg15Leu AP2S1 mutations (Howles et al., 2016) |
| Hypocalcemic disorders | ||
| ADH1 | NPS 2143 reduces the signaling responses of cells expressing gain-of-function ADH1-causing CaSR mutants, but has limited efficacy for constitutively active CaSR mutants (Leach et al., 2013; Letz et al., 2010) | Acute administration of NPS 2143 and JTT-305/MK-5442 increases serum calcium and PTH concentrations in mouse models for ADH1 (Dong et al., 2015; Hannan et al., 2015b) |
| ATF936 and AXT914 rectify the gain-of-function caused by constitutively active CaSR mutants (Letz et al., 2014) | Administration of JTT-305/MK-5442 over 12 weeks reduces urinary calcium excretion and prevents nephrocalcinosis in mouse models for ADH1 (Dong et al., 2015) | |
| Intravenous infusion of NPSP795 increases serum PTH concentrations and reduces urinary calcium excretion in ADH1 patients (Roberts et al., 2019) | ||
| ADH2 | NPS 2143 reduces the signaling responses of cells expressing gain-of-function ADH2-causing Gα11 mutants (Babinsky et al., 2016; Gorvin et al., 2017; Roszko et al., 2017) | NPS 2143 increases serum calcium and PTH concentrations in mouse models for ADH2 (Gorvin et al., 2017; Roszko et al., 2017) |
