Brief Summary

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

This Phase 3, 26-week, open label study with a 12-week, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period followed by an open label long term safety extension will evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenapanor to treat hyperphosphatemia in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Detailed Description

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

The study consists of a screening visit, a phosphate binder-free washout period of up to 4 weeks, a 26-week treatment period, an up to 12-week placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period, during which patients are randomized 1:1 to either remain on their tenapanor treatment or placebo, followed by an open label safety extension period for a total treatment period of up to 52 weeks. An active control group, for safety analysis only, will receive sevelamer carbonate, open label, for the entire 52-week study period

Depending on increase in serum phosphate (s-P) levels, subjects can be randomized 2 or 3 weeks after being taken off their phosphate lowering medication.

Subjects who qualify to enroll in the study will be randomized 3:1 to either receive tenapanor at a dose of 30 mg bid or sevelamer carbonate.

Tenapanor 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg BID

During the 26-week open label part, all enrolled subjects will receive 30 mg BID doses of tenapanor. Investigators may decrease or increase the dose in 10 mg increments to a minimum of 10 g BIDor a maximum of 30 mg BID
