Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC) in optimizing MRA in symptomatic patients with heart failure;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): To demonstrate the efficacy of Sodium Zir-conium Cyclosilicate (SZC) on optimizing MRA in heart failure, SZC vs Placebo. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at the end of study | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1.To determine the efficacy of SZC when com-pared to placebo in maintaining achieved MRA-dose after run-in period, SZC vs Placebo; 2.To determine the impact of MRA-optimization by SZC in QoL-parameters, SZC vs Placebo; 3.To determine the estimated treatment persisten-cy of highest tolerable dose (25-50 mg daily) of MRA, SZC vs Placebo; 4. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SZC when compared to placebo as assessed by differ-ences in percent (%) between the two groups in pre-specified safety endpoints (occurring at any point during the study);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At the end of study and throughtout the study for safety endpoint | — |
