Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effects of Patiromer on Serum Potassium Level and Gut Microbiome of ESRD Patients With Hyperkalemia (NCT NCT03326583)

NCT ID: NCT03326583

Last Updated: 2023-05-09

Results Overview

The Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale was used to measures any potential side effects due to study medication. Survey was administered at Wk 1, Wk 8, Wk 14, and Wk 20. For symptoms (abdomen pain - diarrhea) a score of 0 indicates "no discomfort", 1 = "mild discomfort", 2=moderate, 3=severe; higher score means a worse outcome For stool form, 1=Well formed, 2=Semi formed, 3= Loose, 4= Liquid;higher score means a worse outcome For number of stools per day, 1= \<1, 2=1 or 2, 3=3 or 4, 4=5 or 6,5= 7 or more; higher score means a worse outcome

Patiromer
This arm is the 2 week observation period before the start of the Patiromer treatment phase, followed by a 12 week treatment phase, and 6 week no treatment observation phase. Pre-Treatment (Wk 1-2): Observational period. Baseline sample collection of blood and stool. No medication. Treatment (Wk 3-14): Participants will take 8.4 grams of Patiromer once daily for one week, during which serum potassium and gastrointestinal symptoms will be evaluated. If tolerated and in the absence of hypokalemia, the dose will be up-titrated to 16.8 grams once daily for the remaining 11 weeks. Blood and stool will be collected. Post-Treatment (Wk 15-20): Observational period. No medication. Blood and stool will be collected. Patiromer: Patiromer will be orally self-administered by participants.
