Filter by:This is a phase III multi-centre study in three periods: the first period is a phosphate binder washout for 4 weeks, the second period is an open-label, flexible dose titration, the third period is a placebo-controlled withdrawal comparing MCI-196 with placebo for 4 weeks.
To evaluate the superiority to placebo, dose-responsibility and safety.
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) commonly have high concentrations of phosphorous, a mineral, in the blood (hyperphosphatemia). This is a result of their inability to excrete phosphorous by the kidneys. This in turn may result in the development of a condition known as secondary hyperparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophy or bone disease. As such, these patients often receive medications known as phosphate binders such as calcium carbonate or acetate, sevelamer, aluminum hydroxide and lanthanum carbonate to manage and treat hyperphosphatemia. Lanthanum carbonate is a newly available phosphate binding agent that is effective in the management of hyperphosphatemia and preventing secondary hyperparathyroidism. It works in the gastrointestinal tract by binding to the phosphorus in the diet. ESRD patients taking lanthanum carbonate are counseled to chew the tablets completely before swallowing, with or immediately after meals. However, patients who are intubated or receiving nutrition via feeding tubes are unable to chew the tablets. For these patients, medications are commonly crushed and administered via the tube. Moreover, some patients prefer to crush the tablets and mix it with food instead of chewing. To date, it is not known if crushing the lanthanum carbonate tablets prior to administration and taking it with food would be as effective as chewing them. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of phosphate binding between chewed and crushed lanthanum carbonate tablets.
Magnesium iron hydroxycarbonate is a phosphate binder that absorbs phosphate from food, reducing the amount that the body can absorb. The purpose of this study is to determine how well a range of different doses of fermagate are tolerated by the subjects in the trial.
This is a phase III multi-centre study in three periods: the first period is a phosphate binder washout for 4 weeks, the second period is an open-label, randomised, parallel group, flexible dose, the third period is a placebo-controlled withdrawal comparing MCI-196 with placebo for 4 weeks.
Magnesium iron hydroxycarbonate is a phosphate binder that absorbs phosphate from food, reducing the amount that the body can absorb. The purpose of this study it to look at how effective and safe Magnesium iron hydroxycarbonate is in controlling levels of phosphate in the blood in patients who receive hemodialysis.
Elevated phosphorus levels are a common problem in dialysis patients. However, it is associated with an increase in death and hospitalizations. Current treatment is comprised of dietary modifications and phosphorus binders - though this is often not enough for many of our patients. Our trial investigates the use of niacinamide, a form of vitamin B, in decreasing serum phosphorus levels.
The purpose of this study is to determine if calcium acetate (PhosLo) can control serum phosphorus in pre-dialysis patients with moderate to severe impairment of kidney function.
