Brief summary

This study is being conducted to assess any potential differences in the absorption and excretion between two lanthanum carbonate formulations. This study is also being done to assess the safety and tolerability of the two lanthanum carbonate formulations.

Interventions

DRUGLanthanum carbonate Granule Formulation

3x's per day for 3 days, 1 dose in the am for day 4. (A single dose equals 1000mg of lanthanum carbonate granule formulation. Dose is administered immediately after each meal.)

DRUGLanthanum carbonate Chewable Tablets (Fosrenol)

3x's per day for 3 days, 1 dose on day 4. (A single dose equals a 1000mg tablet of lanthanum carbonate. Dose is administered immediately after each meal.)

Outcome results

Primary

Urinary Phosphate Excretion 3-Day Average

Time frame: Continuous collection over 3 days

Population: Pharmacodynamic Set (PD) includes all subjects who completed all urine collections and consumed at least 95% of food in all treatment periods. Subjects who vomited from days -2 to 4 of any treatment period were excluded from the set.

Time frame: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose on Day 4

Population: Pharmacokinetic set (PK) includes all subjects who had sufficient post-dose blood samples taken to estimate Cmax and AUC 0-48 hours after dosing on Day 4 in all treatment periods. Subjects who vomited between dosing and 10 hours post-dose on Day 4 of any treatment period were excluded from the PK set.

Comparison: The LS means and associated SEs for granules and tablets as well as the difference between granules and tablets were determined. From the LS mean and SE of the difference, a 90% CI was constructed for the difference of the logs of granules and tablets. An exponential transformation was applied to the lower and upper limits of the CI. This created a point estimate and 90% CI for the ratio of LS means for granules to tablets.90% CI: [1.26, 1.42]Mixed Models Analysis
