Key information

About this study

The study was divided into 3 periods: a phosphate binder washout Period; a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Fixed Dose Period; and an open-label, sevelamer carbonate Dose Titration Period.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • The participant had CKD requiring dialysis or CKD not on dialysis with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 based on central laboratory results.
  • The participant had a serum phosphorus level greater than the age appropriate upper limit of normal based on central laboratory results.

Exclusion criteria

  • The participant had active dysphagia, swallowing disorders or a predisposition to or current bowel obstruction, ileus or severe gastrointestinal motility disorder(s) including severe constipation, or major gastrointestinal tract surgery.
  • The participant had a non-renal case of hyperphosphatemia.

Treatment and study plan

Placebo

Drug

Placebo for 0.8 g sachets of powder for oral suspension or 800 mg tablets

Sevelamer carbonate

Drug

0.8 g sachets of powder for oral suspension or 800 mg tablets

Other names: Renvela®

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 2 in Serum Phosphorus

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 2

    Full analysis set for fixed dose period (FAS-FDP) participants were analyzed according to their randomized treatment. The change in serum phosphorus (mg/dL) from baseline to week 2 was calculated.

  2. Treatment - Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Up to 32 weeks (up to 4 weeks washout period, 2 weeks FDP and 26 weeks DTP)

    A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. AEs from the time of signing the informed consent through the end of the study for all participants. SAEs occurring during the 15 days following study completion or early termination were also to be collected.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 28/Early Termination in Serum Phosphorus

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 28/Early Termination

    Full analysis set for dose titration period (FAS-DTP) participants were analyzed according to their randomized treatment. The change in serum phosphorus (mg/dL) from baseline to Week 28/Early Termination was calculated.
