Written informed consent given 4. On a stable haemodialysis regimen (at least 3x per week) for 12 weeks prior to screening 5. Subject receiving phosphate binder medication(s) at screening, must have been on a stable regimen (dose and medication) for at least 1 month prior to screening and will remain on this regimen until entry into the washout period 6.
