Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sevelamer and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Chronic Kidney Disease (NCT NCT01191762)

NCT ID: NCT01191762

Last Updated: 2016-11-01

Results Overview

This outcome measure documented the effect of intestinal phosphate-binding on \[PTH\]. Fractional change was calculated as (\[PTH\]post - \[PTH\]pre)/\[PTH\]pre, where 'pre' and 'post' referred respectively to baseline \[PTH\] (before treatment) and \[PTH\] after four weeks of treatment. Reductions were cited as negative numbers, and increments were cited as positive numbers.

Participant Flow

Patients with eGFR \< 60 were recruited from renal clinics and randomized to receive 3 tablets of sevelamer or placebo with each meal for four weeks.

Randomization was preceded by a 4-week course of vitamin D (dose determined by plasma \[25OHD\]) and then by a 4-week period of dietary phosphate restriction. The phosphate restriction was continued through the therapeutic trial.
