About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Dose Titration of Sevelamer Carbonate Tablets Dosed Three Times a Day in Hyperphosphatemic Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Not On Dialysis

Approximately 45 hyperphosphatemic CKD patients not on dialysis will be entered into this study at approximately 20 sites within Europe and 5-10 in Australia. The purpose of this study is to determine if sevelamer carbonate tablets dosed three times a day (TID) is an effective treatment for the control of serum phosphorous levels in hyperphosphatemic CKD patients not on dialysis. Total length of participation is approximately 14 weeks.

Being tested
Sevelamer carbonate (Renvela®)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sevelamer carbonate (Renvela®) in people with Chronic Kidney Disease and Hyperphosphatemia, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 25 sites in 5 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 15 inclusion and 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Denmark, France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluate the efficacy of sevelamer carbonate tablets dosed three times per day (TID) with meals on control of serum phosphorus levels (time frame: Up to day 70). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Mar 2015.
