Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of different doses of PA21 to lower serum phosphate levels, in patients with chronic kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis.

Interventions

DRUG1.25 g PA21 (250 mg iron)

Daily dose of 1.25 g PA21 (1 tablet/day) for 6 weeks. One PA21 tablet will be taken orally with the largest meal of the day.

DRUG5.0 g PA21 (1,000 mg iron)

Daily dose of 5.0 g PA21 (4 tablets/day) for 6 weeks. Two PA21 tablets will be taken orally with the largest meal of the day, and one PA21 tablet will be taken orally with each of the two smaller main meals of the day (3 meals per day).

DRUG7.5 g PA21 (1,500 mg iron)

Daily dose of 7.5 g PA21 (6 tablets/day) for 6 weeks. Two PA21 tablets will be taken orally with each of the three main meals of the day (3 meals per day).

DRUG10.0 g PA21 (2,000 mg iron)

Daily dose of 10.0 g PA21 (8 tablets/day) for 6 weeks. Four PA21 tablets will be taken orally with the largest meal of the day, and two PA21 tablets will be taken orally with each of the two smaller main meals of the day (3 meals per day).

DRUG12.5 g PA21 (2,500 mg iron)

Daily dose of 12.5 g PA21 (10 tablets/day) for 6 weeks. Four tablets will be taken orally with the largest meal of the day, and three PA21 tablets will be taken orally with each of the two smaller main meals of the day (3 meals per day).

Daily dose of 4.8 g Sevelamer hydrochloride (6 tablets/day) for 6 weeks. Two Sevelamer tablets will be taken orally with each of the three main meals of the day (3 meals per day).

Outcome results

Primary
