Participant flow

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at 64 centers in the United States between 11 February 2009 and 20 August 2009.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 670 participants were screened of which 321 were screen failure and 349 participants were randomized. After screening, participants entered a two-week phosphate binder washout period prior to randomization.
