Participant Flow

Following Washout 1, eligible subjects with serum phosphorus levels greater than or equal to 6.0mg/dL (greater than or equal to 1.94mmol/L) and calcium levels greater than or equal to 8.4mg/dL (greater than or equal to 2.10mmol/L) were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Fosrenol or sevelamer hydrochloride (HCl) for 4 weeks.

The study consisted of the following phases: screening (1 week), washout 1 (2 weeks), treatment (4 weeks), Washout 2 (2 weeks), crossover treatment (4 weeks), and a 30-day follow-up

Measure
Fosrenol First
Fosrenol (Lanthanum carbonate) dosing began at 2250mg/day, administered orally as one 750mg tablet taken three times per day with meals for 1 week. After receiving this dose for 1 week, subjects received the final dose of 3000mg/day, administered orally as one 1000mg tablet three times per day with meals. Subjects were to remain on the final Fosrenol dose of 3000mg/day for 3 weeks. After washout, patients then crossover to receive Sevelamer HCl for 4 weeks (see below).
Sevelamer HCl First
Sevelamer HCl dosing began at 4800mg/day, administered orally as two 800mg tablets taken three times per day with meals for 1 week. After receiving this dose for 1 week, subjects received the final dose of 6400mg/day, administered orally as three 800mg tablets taken two times per day with meals and two 800mg tablets taken once per day with the lighter meal (i.e., a total of eight 800mg tablets per day). Subjects were to remain on the final sevelamer HCl dose of 6400mg/day for 3 weeks. After washout, patients then crossover to receive Fosrenol for 4 weeks (see above).
