Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 130 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and protocol
  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Must have eGFR ≥ 25 and ≤ 59 mL/min/1.73m2 as calculated by central laboratory (CKD-EPI formula) at screening (Visit 1)
  • Must have UACR ≥ 200 and ≤ 5000 mg/g as calculated by central laboratory at screening (Visit 1). If the first sample does not fulfil eligibility criteria, a second sample can be obtained during the screening period; if so, the UACR measurement from the second sample must be within the eligibility range.
  • Any of the following criteria, a or b, at screening (Visit 1):
  • Cohort A: Hyperkalaemia (S-K > 5.0 to ≤ 6.5 mmol/L) as measured by the central laboratory, and on adequate* or limited** RAASi therapy due to hyperkalaemia.
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Cohort B: Normokalaemia (S-K ≥ 3.5 to ≤ 5.0 mmol/L) as measured by the central laboratory and on limited** RAASi therapy due to high risk of hyperkalaemia. High risk of hyperkalaemia is defined as:
  • Participants with a previous medical history or record of hyperkalaemia within the prior 24 months, who are on limited** RAASi therapy despite indication in CKD.
  • Participants in whom RAASi therapy is indicated in CKD, who are on limited** RAASi therapy and have S-K ≥ 4.7 to ≤ 5.0 mmol/L.
  • Participants in whom RAASi therapy has been discontinued or reduced to suboptimal* doses because of hyperkalaemia.
  • Adequate RAASi dose levels are defined in protocol; doses lower than these are considered as suboptimal.
  • Limited RAASi therapy is defined as no or suboptimal RAASi therapy according to dosing guidance provided in protocol.
  • If on thiazide or loop diuretics, the dose must have been stable for 2 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • If on RAASi therapy, the dose must have been stable for one month prior to screening (Visit 1) and remain stable during screening.
  • If on an SGLT2i treatment (ie, dapagliflozin and canagliflozin), finerenone, or any other medications in these 2 classes that are approved for CKD, the dose must have been stable for 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Participants must be one-year postmenopausal, surgically sterile, or using one highly effective form of birth control (defined as one that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly). They should have been stable on their chosen method of birth control for a minimum of one month prior to screening (Visit 1) and willing to remain on the birth control until one month after the last dose of study intervention.

Who cannot join

  • New York Heart Association class III to IV congestive heart failure at the time of screening (Visit 1) or previous history of severe or symptomatic heart failure.
  • Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, or transient ischaemic attack within 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Participants with a known history of systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 95 mmHg within 2 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1) are excluded. In addition, any participant with systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 95 mmHg as measured at screening (Visit 1) and confirmed by repeated measurement is excluded. Participants may be rescreened once blood pressure is controlled.
  • QTcF > 550 msec at screening (Visit 1).
  • History of QT prolongation associated with other medications that required discontinuation of that medication.
  • Congenital long QT syndrome.
Show all 29Show fewer
  • Symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation despite treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Participants with atrial fibrillation and heart rate controlled by medication are permitted.
  • Lupus nephritis or anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
  • Change in renal function requiring hospitalisation or dialysis within 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • History of renal transplant (or anticipated need for renal transplant during the study).
  • Severe hepatic impairment, biliary cirrhosis, or cholestasis.
  • History of hereditary or idiopathic angioedema.
  • Any prior hypersensitivity to ACEi or ARB that in the investigator's judgment precludes use of lisinopril and valsartan/irbesartan. Prior hypersensitivity reactions to consider include, but are not limited to, development of angioedema, icterus, hepatitis, or neutropaenia or thrombocytopaenia requiring treatment modification.
  • Known hypersensitivity or previous anaphylaxis to SZC or to components thereof.
  • Any condition outside the CV and renal disease area such as, but not limited to, malignancy, with a life expectancy of less than 2 years based on investigator´s clinical judgment.
  • Active malignancy requiring treatment at the time of screening (Visit 1), except for successfully treated basal cell or treated squamous cell carcinoma.
  • S-K > 6.5 or < 3.5 mmol/L by local laboratory within 1 day prior to the scheduled first dose of SZC in the initiation phase.
  • Evidence of COVID-19 infection within 2 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Treated with dual blockade of RAAS (combined use of an ACEi and ARB) within 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Treated with an angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI; sacubitril/valsartan [Entresto®]) within 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Treated with an MRA not approved for CKD within 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Treated with aliskiren-containing products with 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Treated with SPS (eg, Kayexalate, Resonium), CPS (Resonium Calcium), patiromer (Veltassa®), or SZC (Lokelma®) within 7 days prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product administered within one month prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Not willing or not able to change to lisinopril or valsartan/irbesartan, the protocol-mandated RAASi study intervention. Note: For participants taking a fixed combination of an ACEi or ARB with another agent (eg, calcium blockers or diuretics) as SoC, the investigator must make a judgment that it will be safe and efficacious for such participants to change to the study ACEi or ARB and to the other drug as separate agents.
  • Previous dosing with SZC in the present study.
  • Currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test at screening [Visit 1]) or breastfeeding.
  • Judgment by the investigator that the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
  • Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site).

About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, International, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate on CKD Progression in Participants With CKD and Hyperkalaemia or at Risk of Hyperkalaemia

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC), as adjunct to ACEi/ARB therapy (lisinopril or valsartan), on slowing CKD progression (assessed as the reduction in participant's glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] decline over time) in participants with hyperkalaemia or at high risk of hyperkalaemia.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 3, international, randomised withdrawal, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study, to evaluate the effect of SZC as adjunct to RAASi therapy (lisinopril or valsartan) in slowing CKD progression in participants with CKD and hyperkalaemia or at risk of hyperkalaemia.

Specifically, the study will include participants with hyperkalaemia (S-K > 5.0 to ≤ 6.5 mmol/L by central laboratory) who are on adequate or limited RAASi therapy due to hyperkalaemia, and participants with normokalaemia (S-K ≥ 3.5 to ≤ 5.0 mmol/L by central laboratory) who are on limited RAASi therapy due to high risk of hyperkalaemia. High risk of hyperkalaemia is defined as (1) participants with a previous medical history or record of hyperkalaemia within the prior 24 months who are on limited RAASi therapy despite indication in CKD; (2) participants in whom RAASi therapy is indicated in CKD but are on limited RAASi therapy and have S-K ≥ 4.7 to ≤ 5.0 mmol/L; and (3) participants in whom RAASi therapy has been discontinued or reduced to suboptimal doses because of hyperkalaemia.

A participant is expected to be in the study for approximately 28 months, which includes up to 13 days for the screening period, 27 months for the intervention period, and 1 week for follow-up. The 27-month intervention period of the study consists of 3 phases, an initiation phase (up to 72 hours), a run-in phase (3 months/up to Day 90), and a maintenance phase (24 months/104 weeks).

The initial dose of SZC will be administered to participants during the initiation phase. No changes will be made to the ACEi or ARB therapy at this stage. As soon as possible after the participant is confirmed to be normokalaemic at the end of the initiation phase, the participant will enter the run-in phase. Participants will receive open-label SZC and either lisinopril or valsartan. The aim of the run-in phase is to increase ACEi or ARB therapy stepwise to their maximum doses. After a 3-month run-in period for RAASi dose optimization while on SZC, participants will be randomized to SZC or placebo and followed during the subsequent 24 months of maintenance phase for efficacy and safety assessments.

What participants receive

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

  • Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC)Drug

    Also called Lokelma TM

    Powder for oral suspension in a sachet. Unit dose strength: 5 or 10 g SZC. Single dose will consist of 1-3 sachets.

    During Initiation Phase:

    • S-K > 5 to ≤ 6.5 mmol/L (measured by L-Lab): Single dose contains 10 g SZC that should be suspended in 45 mL of water. The 10 g SZC single dose should be administered three times daily for up to 72 hours until normokalaemic (S-K 3.5-5.0 mmol/L); the total daily dose is 30 g SZC.
    • S-K ≥ 3.5 to ≤ 5 mmol/L (measured by L-Lab): Single dose contains 5 g SZC that should be suspended in 45 mL of water and administered once daily for 48 hours.

    During Run-in and Maintenance Phases:

    • Single dose contains 5 g SZC administered every other day or 5, 10, or 15 g SZC administered once daily that should be suspended in 45 mL of water.
  • PlaceboDrug

    Powder for oral suspension in a sachet. Placebo to match 5 or 10 g. Single dose will consist of 1-3 sachets.

    During Maintenance Phase:

    • Single dose contains 5 g placebo administered every other day or 5, 10, or 15 g placebo administered once daily that should be suspended in 45 mL of water.
  • LisinoprilDrug

    Tablet for oral administration. Unit dose strength: 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 mg. Dosage level: 5, 10, 20, or 40 mg administered once daily.

  • ValsartanDrug

    Tablet or capsule for oral administration. Unit dose strength: 40, 80 or 160 mg. Dosage level: 40, 80, 160, or 320 mg administered once daily.

  • IrbesartanDrug

    Tablet for oral administration. Unit dose strength: 75, 150 or 300 mg. Dosage level: 75, 150, or 300 mg administered once daily.

    The study is designed to use valsartan as the selected ARB therapy adjunct to SZC. However, if an actual shortage of valsartan in a local market jeopardises the ability of participants to enter or continue in the study, valsartan can be temporarily substituted with irbesartan until the shortage of valsartan is resolved.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total eGFR Slope (Coprimary Analysis #1)

    Total eGFR slope, Baseline (Maintenance phase) to visit 17 (week 69)

    Measured: Baseline (Maintenance phase) to visit 17 (week 69)

  2. Chronic eGFR Slope (Coprimary Analysis #2)

    Chronic eGFR slope, 12 weeks to visit 17 (week 69)

    Measured: 12 weeks to visit 17 (week 69)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of the Composite of Kidney Failure Outcomes

    Incidence of the composite of kidney failure outcomes comprising: sustained ≥ 40% decline in eGFR, onset of ESKD, and death from kidney failure is analyzed based on Cox regression model. Patients with no events are censored at end of maintenance phase or premature discontinuation.

    Measured: From Baseline (Maintenance phase) up to week 97 (Maintenance phase)

  2. Incidence of RAASi Reduction

    Incidence of RAASi (lisinopril/valsartan) dose decrease is analyzed based on Cox regression model. Patients with no events are censored at end of maintenance phase or premature discontinuation.

    Measured: From Baseline (Maintenance phase) up to week 97 (Maintenance phase)

  3. UACR

    Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR); mass concentration of albumin divided by mass concentration of creatinine, in urine; at visit 13 (week 24)

    Measured: At visit 13 (week 24)
