简要总结
To assess whether treatment with the oral potassium binder patiromer as compared to placebo allows withdrawal or down-titration of potassium dietary restriction considered as a dichotomous variable (YES/NO) without increasing the risk of hyperkalemia (serum potassium >5.5 mEq/L) in chronic dialysis patients with pre-dialysis serum potassium 4 to 5.5 mEq/L ) achieved and maintained by dietary restriction of potassium reach aliments

结局指标
主要结局
Proportion of participants with low-potassium diet withdrawal and/or down-titration at completion of the treatment period compared to diet at inclusion
Proportion of participants with low-potassium diet withdrawal and/or down-titration at completion of the treatment period compared to diet at inclusion
次要结局
- Proportion of participants with low potassium diet withdrawal at completion of the treatment period, considered as a single endpoint
- Reduction in dietary restriction considered as a continuous variable as assessed by a dietary score (to be defined): 0 = No restriction; 1 = Moderate restriction; 2 = Strict restriction
- Changes in pre-dialysis serum potassium level considered as a continuous variable
- Reduced need for rescue therapy with potassium binding resins such as Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS, Kayexalate®, Sanofi-Aventis S.p.A) or supplementary dialysis sessions to treat intercurrent hyperkalemia
- Introduction or optimization of RAS inhibitor therapy to control arterial blood pressure or heart failure and/or prevent cardiovascular events without increasing the risk of hyperkalemia
- Proportion of patients with cardiac arrhythmias or other symptoms (muscle weakness, fatigue, hand of feet numbness or tingling, vomiting, flaccid paralysis and others) potentially related to hyperkalemia
- Proportion of patients with hypokalemia (serum potassium <3.5 mEq/L) and/or of cardiac arrhythmias potentially related to hypokalemia
- Participant’s quality of life change from baseline at the end of the intervention, measured using the Italian translation of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument (KDQOL) Version 1.31 and the standard SF-36 quality of life questionnaire Italian Version 1.6
