Group	Intervention	Description
2	Renagel® (sevelamer hydrochloride)	30 subjects will be randomized on Day -1
1	AMG 223	30 subjects will be randomized on Day -1

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare the effects of 2g AMG 223 and 2g Renagel® on 24 hour urinary phosphorous excretion after multiple doses in healthy volunteers.	Including the 28-day Screening period, the 15-day residency period, and the follow-up on Day 15 (one week after discharge from the clinical research unit), the maximum subject participation is approximately 50 days.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare the effects of 2g AMG 223 and 2g Renagel® on 24 hour fecal phosphorous excretion after multiple doses in healthy volunteers.	Including the 28-day Screening period, the 15-day residency period, and the follow-up on Day 15 (one week after discharge from the clinical research unit), the maximum subject participation is approximately 50 days.
To assess safety and tolerability of multiple doses of 2g AMG 223 in healthy volunteers.	Including the 28-day Screening period, the 15-day residency period, and the follow-up on Day 15 (one week after discharge from the clinical research unit), the maximum subject participation is approximately 50 days.
