Measure
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 Tenapanor: Active Drug
Placebo

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks (randomized withdrawal period)

Population: The sevalmer arm was not included in the randomized withdrawal period. They were treated as an active safety comparator.

Patients with at least a 1.2 mg/dL decrease in serum phosphorus during the first 26 weeks of the study were defined as the responder population.
