A Pan-Inhibitor of Phosphate Transporters AP306 in Hemodialysis Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hyperphosphatemia in patients undergoing dialysis is not well-controlled. AP306 is a pan-inhibitor of phosphate transporters, designed to block the active uptake of phosphate through the gastrointestinal tract.

Methods

In this phase 2 randomized, active-controlled, open-label study, hemodialysis patients with serum phosphate between 5.5 and 9.0 mg/dl were randomized to receive either AP306 or sevelamer carbonate for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the change in serum phosphate levels from baseline until the therapy ceased. AP306 was initiated at 75 mg and adjusted stepwise to 125 mg and 150 mg orally thrice daily every 4 weeks, to maintain serum phosphate between 3.5 and 5.5 mg/dl. Sevelamer levels were adjusted using the same criteria and frequency.
