Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reduce Incidence of Pre-Dialysis Hyperkalaemia With Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate in Chinese Subjects (NCT NCT04217590)

NCT ID: NCT04217590

Last Updated: 2023-03-28

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 (LIDI) and did not receive rescue therapy. Subjects with no data during the evaluation period were classified as non-responders. The S-K levels used for this analysis were based on the measurements obtained by the central laboratory.

Participant Flow

The study has been completed and was conducted in 37 centres across China. 281 subjects were screened and 134 randomised subjects (67 per treatment group).

Eligbile Chinese subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on stable haemodialysis were randomly assigned to either sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) or placebo in a 1:1 ratio.

Timeframe: Evaluation period runs over the last 4 weeks of the treatment period up to 8 weeks.

Population: Full analysis set

Probability of maintaining maximum S-K value \<= 5.5 mmol/L was evaluated. Each subject's maximum pre-dialysis S-K at long inter-dialytic interval (LIDI) and short inter-dialytic interval (SIDI) visits during the evaluation period were categorised into \<= 5.5 or \> 5.5 mmol/L. Missing S-K values including those omitted due to coinciding with rescue therapy use or records omitted that are not true LIDI (i.e. records which do not occur \>= 55 hours after the previous dialysis starting time) were imputed using multiple imputation (MI).

Missing S-K values including those omitted due to coinciding with rescue therapy use or records omitted that are not true LIDI (i.e. records which do not occur \>= 55 hours after the previous dialysis starting time) were imputed using multiple imputation (MI).

The probability of maintaining instances of pre-dialysis S-K between 4.0 and 5.0 mmol/L (normokalaemia) was evaluated at each LIDI visit during the evaluation period, by categorisation of pre-dialysis S-K into values between 4.0 and 5.0 mmol/L or not. Values coinciding with rescue therapy or not true LIDI (i.e. records which do not occur \>= 55 hours after the previous dialysis starting time) were excluded.
