Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The study is designed to determine if SZC 10g administered up to three times over 10h added to insulin and glucose in patients presenting with hyperkalaemia will prove tolerable and efficacious by performing a multicentre, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective, parallel-group study.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Study monitors will perform ongoing source data verification and source data review to confirm that the safety and rights of subjects are being protected.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Participants took part in the study in the United States, Russia, Denmark and Italy from 13 February 2018 to 21 December 2018.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients with S-K ≥5.8 mmol/L for whom treatment with insulin and glucose to manage hyperkalaemia has been determined medically appropriate by the Investigator. The study originally recruited patients with S-K ≥6.0 mmol/L; however, this inclusion criterion was updated during CSP Amendment to allow enrolment of patients with S-K ≥5.8 mmol/L.

    Mean absolute change in S-K from baseline until 4h after start of dosing with SZC/placebo
    End point description
    The least squares means (LS-means) are derived from a linear regression model of absolute change in S-K at 4h with the following covariates: treatment group; baseline S-K; time from the start of dosing insulin to the start of dosing SZC/placebo and the dose (units/kg) of the first course of insulin. The 95% CI is associated with LS-Means.

    End point description
    Additional therapies for hyperkalaemia are 2nd dose of insulin, Beta-agonists, Diuretics, Dialysis, Sodium bicarbonate and Potassium binders when administered with the expressed intent to lower S-K.
