What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lanthanum carbonateDrug

    Also called FOSRENOL

    2250mg/day starting dose of lanthanum carbonate administered orally, in divided doses, with meals (500mg 750mg and 1000mg strengths)for 2 weeks; dose titration will occur based on serum phosphorus results not to exceed 3000mg/day.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of subjects achieving serum phosphorus levels of less than or equal to 1.78 mmol/L (5.5 mg/dL) following treatment with Fosrenol at Week 12 compared to treatment with their previous phosphate binder therapy

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The maintenance of mean serum phosphorus levels following treatment with 2250 mg/day of Fosrenol

    Measured: at Week 2 compared to baseline

  2. Biochemical and haematological parameters

    Measured: measured throughout the study

  3. Assess safety & tolerability

    Measured: Throughout the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lanthanum carbonate in people with Kidney Diseases, run by Shire at 14 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Italy and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: This study was stopped by the sponsor based on a non-safety related corporate decision). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of subjects achieving serum phosphorus levels of less than or equal to 1.78 mmol/L (5.5 mg/dL) following treatment with Fosrenol at Week 12 compared to treatment with their previous phosphate binder therapy (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 May 2021.
