Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Fermagate is a phosphate binder that absorbs phosphate from food, reducing the amount that the body can absorb.

The purpose of this study it to look at the safety of fermagate over longer periods of time.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

High levels of phosphate in the blood are linked with serious effects, due to calcium imbalances (high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone disease, formation of calcium deposits in the body, and blood-vessel disease).

This study is an open-label, multi-centre, single-group, 24-week study of fermagatebonate. Subjects participating in this study are those who took at least one dose of double-blind study medication in the IH 001 study and either completed study IH 001 or were withdrawn due to reasons other than an adverse event (AE) considered related to study treatment.
