Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To test the hypothesis that second-line fixed low-dose sevelamer hydrochloride therapy is as effective as first-line high-dose sevelamer hydrochloride therapy in limiting the progression of cardiovascular calcification.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: sevelamer hydrochloride
N/A

Detailed Description

Cardiovascular disease accounts for nearly 50% of the mortality and is the most frequent cause of hospitalization in ESRD patients. Hyperphosphatemia is increasingly recognized to be an important predictor of mortality and cardiovascular death in ESRD patients and is largely attributed to the increased prevalence of vascular calcification.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: higher dose sevelamer

first-line higher dose sevelamer hydrochloride

Drug: sevelamer hydrochloride
First-line higher dose (that is, 800mg TDS and up to a maximum of 1200mg TDS) sevelamer hydrochloride will be compared against low dose second-line sevelamer hydrochloride (that is, fixed dose of 400mg TDS)
Other Names:
  • Renagel
  • Active Comparator: low dose sevelamer

    second-line fixed low-dose sevelamer hydrochloride added to calcium carbonate

    Drug: sevelamer hydrochloride
    First-line higher dose (that is, 800mg TDS and up to a maximum of 1200mg TDS) sevelamer hydrochloride will be compared against low dose second-line sevelamer hydrochloride (that is, fixed dose of 400mg TDS)
