About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Withdrawal, Parallel Group Study of Patiromer for the Management of Hyperkalemia in Subjects Receiving Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System Inhibitor (RAASi) Medications for the Treatment of Heart Failure (DIAMOND)
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of patiromer compared with placebo on serum K+ in HF patients.
Read the detailed description
Prospective Phase 3b multinational, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal, parallel group study that includes screening and up to 12 weeks Run-in Phase (all subjects will have patiromer initiated and RAASi medications, including mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) optimized) and a randomized withdrawal Blinded Treatment Phase.
The study population includes subjects with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who are hyperkalemic (serum potassium [K+] > 5.0 mEq/L) while receiving treatment with renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) medications or who are normokalemic (serum K+ 4.0 - 5.0 mEq/L) but have a history of hyperkalemia prior to screening with subsequent reduction or discontinuation of a RAASi medication.
Each subject's participation includes a Run-in Phase (maximum 12 weeks) followed by the Treatment Phase (variable per subject). Study duration for individual subjects will vary, depending on their individual enrollment date. Subjects who prematurely discontinue patiromer/placebo will remain in the study for the collection of clinical events data and will receive usual care.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PatiromerDrug
Also called Veltassa
The starting dose of patiromer will be 1 packet/day and may be taken either with food or without food. Based upon the patiromer treatment algorithm patiromer may be increased by 1 packet per day in intervals of at least 1 week (± 3 days). For subjects who become hypokalemic, patiromer may be decreased to a minimum of 0 packets/day. Doses of patiromer will be 0 packets/day, 1 packet/day, 2 packets/day, and 3 packets/day (maximum dose).
PlacebosDrug
The starting dose of placebo will be 1 packet/day and may be taken either with food or without food. Based upon the placebo treatment algorithm placebo may be increased by 1 packet per day in intervals of at least 1 week (± 3 days). For subjects who become hypokalemic, placebo may be decreased to a minimum of 0 packets/day. Doses of placebo will be 0 packets/day, 1 packet/day, 2 packets/day, and 3 packets/day (maximum dose).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1: Patiromer | Experimental | Subjects will be randomized to receive a daily dose of patiromer with possible dose adjustments based on subsequent local serum potassium levels. Receives: Drug: Patiromer |
| Group 2: Placebo | Placebo comparator | Subjects will be randomized to receive a daily dose of placebo with possible dose adjustments based on subsequent local serum potassium levels. Receives: Drug: Placebos |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in Serum K+ Levels From Baseline
Adjusted mean changes in serum K+ from Baseline.
Measured: Mean duration of exposure: 227.9 days for Patiromer and 234.5 days for Placebo
Secondary outcomes (5)
CIF Estimates of the Time to First Hyperkalemia Event With Serum K+ Level > 5.5 mEq/l Over Time
Cumulative incidence of the first event of hyperkalemia with a serum K+ value >5.5 mEq/l taking death as competing and calculated as CIF Estimates (95% CI) over time.
Aalen-Johansen estimators of the cumulative incidence function with death as a competing event.
CIF = cumulative incidence function; mEq/l = Milliequivalents Per Liter
Measured: From Day 1/Baseline to week 90
CIF Estimates of the Reduction of the MRA Dose Below Target Dose Over Time
Cumulative incidence of the reduction of the MRA dose below target dose calculated as CIF Estimates (95% CI) over time.
Note: The reduction below the MRA target dose must last for at least 14 days (orless if at the end of study) to confirm this endpoint.
CIF = cumulative incidence function; mEq/l = Milliequivalents Per Liter
Measured: From Day 1/Baseline to week 102
Investigator-reported Events of Hyperkalemia
Participant's follow-up is from the date of the first dose of randomized study medication up to the participant's end of study date or 24 Jun 2021, whichever comes first.
Annualized event rate per 100 subject-years= The total number of events for all subjects in the treatment group divided by the total subject-years of follow-up in that treatment group multiplied by 100.
Measured: Mean duration of exposure: 227.9 days for Patiromer and 234.5 days for Placebo
Hyperkalemia-related Hard Outcomes Endpoints
Analyzed using Win Ratio approach with the following hierarchical components:
- Time to CV death
- Total number of CV hospitalizations
- Total number of hyperkalemia toxicity events with serum K+ >6.5 mEq/l
- Total number of hyperkalemia events with serum K+ >6.0-6.5 mEq/l
- Total number of hyperkalemia events with serum K+ >5.0 mEq/l
MHTE=More hyperkalemia toxicity events; MHE=More hyperkalemia events; CV=Cardiovascular
Measured: Mean duration of exposure: 227.9 days for Patiromer and 234.5 days for Placebo
RAASi Use Score
RAASi use score (0 to 8 points) analyzed using the Win Ratio approach for each pair of participants with the following additive components:
- All-cause death
- Occurrence of a CV hospitalization
- HF medication use and dose for i) an ACEi/ARB/ARNi, ii) a MRA, and iii) a beta-blocker
Each participant in each comparison can have 0-8 points and all participants are compared using this score at the respective appropriate follow-up time point.
RAASi=renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor; ACEi=angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB=angiotensin receptor blocker; ARNi=angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitor; MRA=mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist.
Measured: Mean duration of exposure: 227.9 days for Patiromer and 234.5 days for Placebo

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Patiromer in people with Hyperkalemia, run by Vifor Pharma, Inc. at 415 sites in 21 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 6 inclusion and 3 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 24 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 415 sites in United States, Spain, Brazil, Germany, France and 16 more countries. 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 24 Feb 2023). 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?
Changes in Serum K+ Levels From Baseline (time frame: Mean duration of exposure: 227.9 days for Patiromer and 234.5 days for Placebo). 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 NCT03888066, which also lists 5 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 24 Feb 2023.
