About this study

Official title: An 8-week, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Group Study With a 4-week, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Withdrawal Period to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Tenapanor to Treat Hyperphosphatemia in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients on Hemodialysis (ESRD-HD)

This phase 3, 8-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multi-center study with a 4-week, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tenapanor to treat hyperphosphatemia in end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis (ESRD-HD). Subjects who qualify are randomized into the study will either receive 3 mg BID, 10 mg BID, or a titration regimen of tenapanor.

Read the detailed description

The study consists of a screening visit, a wash out period of up to 3 weeks, when existing phosphate lowering medication is withheld, an 8-week treatment period, in which all groups receive tenapanor, and a 4-week placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period, during which patients are re-randomized 1:1 to either remain on their current tenapanor treatment or placebo.

Depending on the increase in serum phosphate levels, subjects can be randomized 1,2, or 3 weeks after being taken off their phosphate lowering medication.

What is being measured

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

  1. Placebo Adjusted Change in Serum Phosphate During Randomized Withdrawal Period From Pooled Tenapanor Arms

    Serum phosphorus difference between placebo and tenapanor in the change from the end of the 8 week treatment period to the end of the randomized withdrawal period in Efficacy Analysis Set. The efficacy analysis was pre-defined to be a pooled analysis of all tenapanor treated patients with a minimum of a 1.2 mg/dL decrease in serum phosphorus during the 8-week treatment period

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Serum Phosphate During 8-Week Treatment Period

    Serum phosphorus difference between baseline (end of washout period) to the end of the 8 week treatment period in ITT analysis set

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tenapanor in people with Hyperphosphatemia, run by Ardelyx at 32 sites in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 10 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 10 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Placebo Adjusted Change in Serum Phosphate During Randomized Withdrawal Period From Pooled Tenapanor Arms (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02675998, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 10 Aug 2020.
