Active clinical trials for "Hyperkalemia"

This study will be an open-label, randomised sequence, 2-period, 2-cohort, 2-treatment in each cohort, cross-over study in healthy subjects (males and females of non-childbearing potential), performed at a single study centre.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of RDX013 to lower serum potassium in patients with chronic kidney disease with elevated serum potassium levels

The Investigator hypothesize that a single dose of patiromer will lower serum potassium levels in less than 6hrs. Since a dosage of 30g/day for a period of 4 weeks has been studied in at least two multicenter randomized controlled trials, the Investigator further hypothesize that a single dose of 25.2g of patiromer will be well tolerated in hyperkalemic patients in the Emergency Department setting. The FDA approved dosage of 25.2g is appropriate for this study because the research staff will enroll patients with moderate (K greater than 6 mEq/L) to severe hyperkalemia, and the higher dosage has typically been used in this population for more effective control.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of patiromer (investigational drug) in the treatment of hyperkalemia (high serum potassium). The study also evaluated the effect of withdrawing patiromer treatment and assessed whether chronic treatment with patiromer prevented the recurrence of hyperkalemia. The safety of patiromer treatment was also evaluated.

The purpose of this trial is to determine if sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) is an effective treatment of mild hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease patients followed at a pre-dialysis or nephrology outpatient clinic. Subjects will be randomized to one of two treatment arms: 30 g of placebo or SPS to be taken orally once daily for seven days. The change in serum potassium levels will be compared in both treatment groups. The proportion of subjects attaining normokalemia (3.5 to 5.0 mmol/L) after seven days of treatment will also be compared. Finally, side effects will be reported for each treatment arm.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of patiromer administered once daily (QD) when given with food compared to without food (experimental treatment group) for the treatment of hyperkalemia (high potassium in the blood).

Hyperkalemia (high potassium in blood) is a common condition found in kidney transplant patients. Risk factors include poor kidney function and exposure to various drugs. Regardless of the causes, current treatment options are limited. Previously, the only available potassium binder for lowering potassium in the blood is sodium polystyrene sulfonate, which has unknown drug interaction profile with transplant medications. Patiromer is a newly approved potassium binder indicated for the treatment of hyperkalemia. Kidney transplant patients with hyperkalemia may benefit from patiromer. However, the interaction of patiromer and transplant medications has not been studied. The goal of this study is to look into the drug interactions between patiromer and transplant medications.

To assess efficacy of 5 g three times daily (TID) and 10 g TID ZS versus placebo in Japanese patients with hyperkalemia (serum potassium [S-K] ≥ 5.1 mmol/L and ≤ 6.5 mmol/L).

To investigate the efficacy of each ZG-801 starting dose and the titration algorithm of ZG-801 for the treatment of hyperkalemia in Japanese patients. To evaluate the safety of ZG-801 for the chronic use (total over 52 weeks). In addition, to confirm the safety after the discontinuation of ZG-801 treatment on 1 week follow-up.

This study determined the optimal starting dose of patiromer in treating hyperkalemia in participants with hypertension and diabetic nephropathy who were already receiving ACEI and/or ARB drugs, with or without spironolactone. This study also evaluated the efficacy and safety of patiromer and the long term use of patiromer.
