About this study

Official title: A Dose Escalation Study of VS-505 to Evaluate the Tolerability, Safety and Efficacy in End Stage Renal Disease Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

The purpose is to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of VS-505 when given with meal for 8 weeks to hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia

Read the detailed description

This study consists of 4 period; 1) screening period: up to 30 days, 2) first washout period: 2 weeks (remove existing phosphate binder effect), 3) treatment period: 8 weeks, and 4) second washout period: 2 weeks (remove VS-505 effect). VS-505 is orally administered with meal for 8 weeks. The starting dose of VS-505 is 1.50 g/day and the dose will be elevated step wise from 1.50 g to 2.25 g, 4.50 g and 6.75 g per day based on the safety assessment and plasma Pi level every 2 weeks during the treatment period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Inorganic phosphorus (Pi) change from baseline to end of treatment

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Calcium (Ca) change from baseline to end of treatment

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Ca x Pi change from baseline to end of treatment

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. intact parathyroid hormone change from baseline to end of treatment

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Rate of patients whose Pi reduction is 0.65 mmol/L (2.0 mg/dL)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Rate of patients whose Pi reaches the goal between 1.13 mmol/L (3.5 mg/dL) and 1.94 mmol/L (6.0 mg/dL)

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing VS-505 in people with End Stage Renal Disease and Hyperphosphatemia, run by KDL Inc. at 1 site in Australia.

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 14 inclusion and 21 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact KDL inc (+81-3-3234-3400, asao@kdl-japan.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inorganic phosphorus (Pi) change from baseline to end of treatment (time frame: 8 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 8 Feb 2016.
