Etelcalcetide, sold under the brand name Parsabiv, is a calcimimetic medication for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in people undergoing hemodialysis. It is administered intravenously at the end of each dialysis session.[3][4] Etelcalcetide functions by binding to and activating the calcium-sensing receptor in the parathyroid gland.[3] Parsabiv is currently owned by Amgen and Ono Pharmaceuticals in Japan.[5][6]
