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. Etelcalcetide functions by binding to and activating the calcium-sensing receptor in the parathyroid gland. Parsabiv is currently owned by Amgen and Ono Pharmaceuticals in Japan.

Parsabiv is currently owned by Amgen and Ono Pharmaceuticals in Japan.

==Medical uses== Etelcalcetide is used for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis. Hyperparathyroidism is the condition of elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and is often observed in people with CKD.
