Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Test Whether ZS (Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate) Can Reduce the Incidence of Increased Blood Potassium Levels Among Dialized Patients. (NCT NCT03303521)

NCT ID: NCT03303521

Last Updated: 2020-02-20

Results Overview

A subject was considered to be a responder if, during the evaluation period, they maintained a pre-dialysis serum potassium (S-K) between 4.0 and 5.0 mmol/L on at least 3 out of 4 dialysis treatments following the long inter-dialytic interval and did not receive rescue therapy. The S-K levels used for this analysis were based on the measurements obtained by the central laboratory.

Population: Full Analysis Set (all randomized patients)

The sensitivity analysis assessed the impact of subjects classified as non-responders due to missing serum potassium (S-K) data. Missing central lab (c-lab) pre-dialysis values were imputed using corresponding pre-dialysis i-STAT (a portable blood analyser) measurements. In addition, a "last observation carried forward" (LOCF) approach was utilized to further impute missing values of pre-dialysis S-K during the evaluation period. This technique will replace missing c-lab S-K values with the last available non-missing pre-dialysis LIDI observation recorded for that patient (and this could be a c-lab value or an imputed c-lab value). The Primary endpoint analysis was repeated on the imputed data.
