Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Approximately 45 hyperphosphatemic CKD patients not on dialysis will be entered into this study at approximately 20 sites within Europe and 5-10 in Australia. The purpose of this study is to determine if sevelamer carbonate tablets dosed three times a day (TID) is an effective treatment for the control of serum phosphorous levels in hyperphosphatemic CKD patients not on dialysis. Total length of participation is approximately 14 weeks.

Sevelamer Carbonate Tablets Dosed Three Times A Day

Drug: Sevelamer carbonate (Renvela®)
Sevelamer Carbonate Tablets Dosed Three Times A Day

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Evaluate the efficacy of sevelamer carbonate tablets dosed three times per day (TID) with meals on control of serum phosphorus levels [Up to day 70]

  2. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of sevelamer carbonate tablets dosed TID with meals. [Up to day 70]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  2. Serum lipid profile [total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol] [Up to day 70]

  3. Percent responders [serum phosphorus between 2.7 and 4.6 mg/dL (0.87 and 1.49 mmol/L) inclusive] at Day 56/ET [Up to day 70]
