About this study

This study is an open-label, prospective, long term, Phase IV study to assess the safety and efficacy of Nephoxil® in subjects with ESRD on dialysis.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Is ≧ 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent or other age required by local regulation
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • ESRD patients who is undergoing hemodialysis 3 times per week and is considered necessary to receive medication for hyperphosphatemia by his/her treating physician
  • Serum ferritin <1000 ng/mL and transferrin saturation (TSAT) < 50% at the Enrollment Visit
  • Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP [defined as women ≤ 50 years of age with a history of amenorrhea for < 12 months prior to study entry]) who is willing to use an effective form of contraception during study participation

Exclusion criteria

  • Has any known contraindication to ferric citrate according to locally approved prescribing information, include but not limited to the following criteria:

i. Is allergic to ferric citrate ii. Has hypophosphatemia iii. Has hemochromatosis or iron overload syndromes iv. Has active severe GI disorders

  • Has parathyroidectomy (PTx) or percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT) within 3 months prior to Enrollment Visit or serum calcium < 7 mg/dL at the Enrollment Visit
  • Has participated in another interventional study for any investigational agent or device within 30 days prior to enrollment
  • Is currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Other unstable medical condition or psychiatric conditions that is considered unsuitable for this study per Investigator's clinical judgment

Treatment and study plan

Ferric citrate

Drug

Ferric citrate will be provided as a 500mg capsule. All intervention doses will be based on serum phosphorus levels.

Other names: Nephoxil® Capsules

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: 13 months

    Number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

  2. Percentage of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: 13 months

    Percentage of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Serum Phosphorus

    Time frame: 13 months

    Serum Phosphorus will be assessed by time-course changes of serum phosphorus levels and proportion of subjects achieved target range of serum phosphorus (>=3.5 mg/dL and <=5.5. mg/dL) from baseline to the end-of-treatment.

Other outcomes

  1. Serum calcium

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of serum calcium from baseline.

  2. Intact plasma parathyroid hormone (iPTH)

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of intact plasma parathyroid hormone (iPTH) from baseline.

  3. Ferritin

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of ferritin from baseline.

  4. Transferring saturation (TSAT) percentage

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of transferring saturation (TSAT) percentage from baseline.

  5. Serum iron

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of serum iron from baseline.

  6. Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC)

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) from baseline.

  7. Hemoglobin

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of hemoglobin from baseline.

  8. Dose of IV iron

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of dose of IV iron from baseline.

  9. Dose of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA)

    Time frame: 13 months

    Time-course changes of dose of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) from baseline.

  10. Treatment adherence

    Time frame: 13 months

    Prescribed dose and the dose actually taken at each time point will be calculated.
