Safety & Efficacy of Zirconium Silicate in Chronic Kidney Disease or

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

It is hypothesized that zirconium silicate is safe and well tolerated and more effective than placebo (alternative hypothesis) in lowering serum potassium levels in subjects with serum potassium between 5 - 6.0 mmol/l versus no difference between zirconium silicate and placebo (null hypothesis). It is hypothesized that zirconium silicate even up to the top dose of 10g three times a day is well tolerated.

Clinical Trial Description

A total of 90 subjects with moderate CKD (defined as GFR between 40- 60ml/min) and mild hyperkalemia (S-K between 5-6 mmol/l) will be enrolled in the study where, in a double-blind dose-escalating fashion (three separate cohorts), they will be randomized to receive one of the doses of ZS (0.3g, 3g and 10g) or placebo, administered 3 times (tid) daily with meals. The first cohort will have 18 subjects while both of the second and third cohorts will have 36 subjects for a total of 90 subjects.

Safety and tolerability will be assessed by an Independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) after completion of each cohort, before escalation to the next dose level will be allowed. The next dose escalation will happen no sooner than one week after the last dose of study drug at the previous dosing level has been administered. Safety stopping rules will be specified for this study. Within the first dose level (300 mg dose), 12 subjects will be randomized to receive ZS, whereas 6 subjects will be randomized to receive placebo for a total of 18 subjects in this first cohort. In the next two cohorts (3 g and 10 g doses), 24 subjects per cohort will be randomized to receive ZS, whereas 12 subjects per cohort will be randomized to receive placebo for a total of 36 subjects in each of the second and third cohorts. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
