Measure
Tenapanor 30 mg BID
During the Double-Blind Treatment Period, subjects will receive tenapanor starting at a dose of 30 mg bid (three 10 mg tablets each time). Investigators may decrease or increase the dose of study medication based on s-P levels and/or gastrointestinal (GI) tolerability in 10 mg increments to a minimum of 10 mg bid or a maximum of 30 mg bid at any time during the Double-Blind Treatment Period. Tenapanor: Active Drug Phosphate Binder Agents: standard of care phosphate binder use at study entry was maintained throughout the entire study
