The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) decided that Mimpara’ s benefits are greater than its risks for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with end-stage renal disease on maintenance dialysis therapy, and for the reduction of hypercalcaemia in patients with parathyroid carcinoma or primary hyperparathyroidism for whom parathyroidectomy would be indicated on the basis of serum calcium levels but in whom parathyroidectomy is not clinically appropriate or is contraindicated.
