Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Chronic kidney disease, unspecified,
Registration Number
CTRI/2021/07/034812
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

An open label, multicentric, non-comparative clinical phase IV study to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablet (Dynultaâ„¢) in patients with chronic hemo dialysis (male and female) with chronic kidney disease. Total 117 subjects who are fulfilling inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. Subjects with a history of hyperphosphataemia (HP) will be selected for the study.

Screened subjects will be evaluated and the eligible subjects will be enrolled in the study. The subjects will be followed up for day 28, 56 and 84. The vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature and respiratory rate) will be recorded at the time of screening visit and during all study visits throughout the study. The primary endpoint assessment will be efficacy of Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablet by change in serum phosphorus level from baseline to each visit. The secondary assessment endpoint include change from baseline in CBC, bio-chemistry (SGOT, SGPT and glucose), and serum calcium serum iPTH (intact parathyroid hormone) at week 12.
