E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
This study is designed to demonstrate superior or at least non-inferior efficacy of SBR759 in phoshate binding, versus sevelamer HCl and evaluate safety over a long term exposure. Efficacy will be measured by the number of patients with a serum phosphate level below or equal to 5.5 mg/dl (i.e. 1.78 mmol/L) at 12 weeks |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate safety and tolerability of SBR759 compared to sevelamer HCl over a 12-week period. To evaluate whether SBR759 has superior efficacy at week 12 compared to sevelamer HCl, as measured by the number of patients with a serum calcium-phosphate product levels below or equal to 55 mg2/dL2. To evaluate whether SBR759 is associated with less increase in serum iPTH levels compared to sevelamer HCl at 12 weeks. To evaluate whether SBR759 has an equivalent rate of hypercalcemia events at 12 weeks compared to sevelamer HCl as measured by serum calcium levels. To evaluate changes in patient-reported gastrointestinal symptom burden, using gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) total and subscales scores, in patients treated with SBR759 compared to patients treated with sevelamer HCl. |

Assessments subjects to an additional informed consent form but included in the main protocol: - phosphate dynamics during dialysis (evaluation of phosphate levels removed during dialysis in all patients and validation of Gutzwiller formula in 12 patients) - Imaging and Pulse Wave Velocity procedure (evaluation of changes in bone metabolism and vascular calcification in 50 patients) |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Men or women of at least 18 years old. - Patient must be on maintenance renal replacement therapy (i.e. hemodialysis, hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration) 3 times per week for > 3 months before screening with a stable dialysis prescription, as defined by no change in material (i.e. dialyzer, filter/membrane) type and dialysis duration for ≥ 4 weeks before screening and planned to be maintained the same throughout the study duration. - Patient must be on restricted phosphate diet at screening and throughout the study. - If currently under phosphate binder therapy, patient has a controlled serum phosphate > 3.0 mg/dL (> 0.97 mmol/L) and ≤6.5 mg/dL ( ≤2.1 mmol/L) as indicated by the single value obtained from the central laboratory at screening (i.e. obtained at a 72-hr postdialysis interval) - Patient has a serum phosphate level ≥6.0 mg/dL ( ≥1.9 mmol/L) obtained at a 72-hr post-dialysis interval, from central laboratory, prior to randomization and study treatment initiation (i.e. after 2 weeks washout if no exception is applicable - Patient must have a Urea Reduction Ratio of ≥ 60% (obtained from central laboratory at screening). - Patient must be on a stable phosphate binder dose (i.e. No change in prescribed dose) or not have received phosphate binder therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to screening. - Patient must, in the investigator’s opinion, be compliant with prescribed phosphate binders. - If patient is currently being treated with calcimimetics, the prescribed dose must be constant for at least 30 days prior to baseline and should remain constant during the total core study duration. - If patient is currently being treated with vitamin D, the prescribed dose must be constant for at least 30 days prior to screening and should remain constant during the total core study duration.
