About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-Center, Open-Label, Cross-Over Study of Lokelma to Control Interdialytic Hyperkalemia Following Augmentation of Dialysate Potassium

A Prospective, RanDomized, Multi-Center, Open-Label, Cross-Over Study of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate to Control Interdialytic HyperkalemiA Following Augmentation of Dialysate Potassium: Efficacy to Reduce the Incidence of Post-Dialysis Atrial Fibrillation and Clinically SignificanT Cardiac Arrhythmias - ADAPT Trial

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, open-labelled, randomized, 2x2 cross-over design study of 88 patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving routine out-patient dialysis using a standard 2.0 potassium ion (K+)/2.5 calcium ion (Ca++) dialysate bath. The overall aim of the study is to determine whether converting stable hemodialysis patients from a "standard" 2.0 K+/2.5 Ca+ dialysate (without Lokelma) to a 3.0 K+/2.5 Ca++ mEq dialysate supplemented with the orally administered potassium binder sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (Lokelma) to treat interdialytic hyperkalemia will reduce the incidence and duration of post-dialysis atrial fibrillation.

What participants receive

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

  • LOKELMA 5 GM Powder for Oral SuspensionDrug

    Patients will use Lokelma supplementation on off-dialysis days (4 days/week) while receiving hemodialysis with 3.0 K+/2.5 Ca++ mEq dialysate bath. The individual starting dose will be 5.0 grams, and may be titrated weekly in 5.0 gram increments up to 15.0 grams to maintain K+ between 4.0 and 5.5 mEq/L.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in atrial Fibrillation events

    To demonstrate whether increasing the K+ concentration in a standard hemodialysis bath from 2.0 K+ /2.5 Ca++ to a 3.0 K+ /2.5 Ca++ composition with SZC will reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation events.

    Measured: 8-week Treatment Phase-1 and the 8-week Treatment Phase-2 dialysate cross-over periods

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Frequency and duration of CSCAs (bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia and/or asystole)

    To access whether the incidence and duration of post-dialysis CSCAs (defined as bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia and/or asystole) observed during experimental treatment will be reduced compared to standard treatment.

    Measured: 8-week Treatment Phase-1 and the 8-week Treatment Phase-2 dialysate cross-over periods

  2. Whether or not K+ outside of the 4.0 to 5.5 mEq/L safety range (Yes/No binary outcome measure).

    To determine whether the addition of oral sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (Lokelmaâ) during the 2-month treatment phase with the 3.0 K+ /2.5 Ca++ dialysate bath will reduce risk of weeks outside the "K+ safety range" of 4.0 to 5.5 mEq/L compared to the 2-month treatment phase with the 2.0 K+ /2.5 Ca++ dialysate bath.

    Measured: 8-week Treatment Phase-1 and the 8-week Treatment Phase-2 dialysate cross-over periods

Model description
Chronic outpatient hemodialysis patients have high rates of rapid changes in potassium and other electrolytes critical to the generation cardiac arrythmias. A growing body of data suggests that intra-dialytic K+ levels fall to level of 2.0 or lower and are a potential major contributor to the generation of atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and other clinically significant arrhythmias. We propose that raising the dialysate bath to 3.0 K+ from current standard of care levels of 2.0 K+ will reduce levels of hypokalemia-induced arrhythmias. We further propose that the use of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (Lokelma) will ensure that secondary hyperkalemia is controlled following the introduction of the 3.0 K+ dialysate bath.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing LOKELMA 5 GM Powder for Oral Suspension in people with Hyperkalemia, run by NephroNet, Inc. at 5 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 5 inclusion and 31 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 5 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

The change in atrial Fibrillation events (time frame: 8-week Treatment Phase-1 and the 8-week Treatment Phase-2 dialysate cross-over periods). 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 5 Jun 2024.
