A phase 2 phosphate binder-combination study of KHK7791 in hyperphosphatemia patients
- Conditions
- Hyperphosphatemia patients on hemodialysis
- Registration Number
- JPRN-jRCT2080224556
- Lead Sponsor
- Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd.
- Brief Summary
The results of the primary endpoint in this study demonstrated that 6-week repeated administration of KHK7791 in combination with phosphate binders significantly reduced serum phosphorus levels compared with placebo in combination with phosphate binders in hyperphosphatemia patients on hemodialysis whose serum phosphorus levels were poorly controlled by existing phosphate binders (p< 0.001, t-test). No changes in serum phosphorus levels were observed in the placebo group after the start of treatment. On the other hand, in the KHK7791 group, serum phosphorus levels after the start of treatment decreased by Week 1 and remained around the decreased level thereafter. The percentage of subjects who achieved the target serum phosphorus level (<= 6.0 mg/dL or <= 5.5 mg/dL) was higher in the KHK7791 group than in the placebo group. Of the 23 subjects who received KHK7791, 16 (69.6%) completed the 6-week treatment, during which their gastrointestinal symptoms were controlled by measures such as dose reduction. The gastrointestinal symptoms leading to dose reduction were resolved after the dose was reduced. From these findings, although diarrhea occurred frequently, the dosing regimen of KHK7791 used in this study was considered tolerable.
