Study of the Effect of SZC on Serum Potassium and Serum Bicarbonate in Patients With Hyperkalemia and Metabolic Acidosis Associated With Chronic Kidney Disease

Lead Sponsor:

AstraZeneca

Conditions:

Hyperkalaemia

Metabolic Acidosis

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-130 years

Phase:

PHASE3

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SZC as compared to placebo in maintaining normal sK+ in patients with hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis associated with CKD

Detailed Description

NEUTRALIZE is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, multicenter, Phase IIIb study to investigate the safety and efficacy of SZC in patients with hyperkalemia and low b...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Adults aged ≥18 years
  • Participants who have CKD stage 3-5, not on dialysis.
  • POCT K+ level \>5 mmol/L to ≤5.9 mmol/L and POCT bicarbonate levels between 16-20 mmol/L inclusive prior to the first SZC dose on study Day 1
  • Ability to have repeated blood draws or effective venous catheterization.
  • Male and/or female. Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
  • Capable of giving signed informed consent

Exclusion

  • Participants with pseudohyperkalemia.
  • Dialysis requirement or anticipated by the investigator to require dialysis therapy within 1 month, history of renal transplant, or life expectancy less than 3 months.
  • Cardiac arrhythmias requiring immediate treatment.
  • Active or suspected diabetic ketoacidosis.
  • POCT bicarbonate low enough to need emergency intervention or treatment as judged by the investigator.
  • Acute/chronic worsening renal function (eg, ≥30% decline in eGFR) in the 3 months before screening.
  • Current acute decompensated HF, hospitalization due to decompensated HF within 4 weeks prior to screening, or myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 12 weeks prior to screening.
  • Coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention \[PCI\] or coronary artery bypass grafting \[CABG\]) or valvular repair/replacement within 12 weeks prior to screening or planned to undergo any of these operations.
  • Symptomatic hypotension.
  • Current exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)/asthma or hospitalization due to exacerbation of COPD/asthma within 4 weeks of screening.
  • Severe constipation, bowel obstruction or impaction, including abnormal post-operative bowel motility disorders
  • Active malignancy requiring treatment.
  • History of QT prolongation associated with other medications that required discontinuation of that medication.
  • Congenital long QT syndrome.
  • Symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation despite treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Patients with atrial fibrillation controlled by medication are permitted.
  • QTcF (QT interval corrected by the Fridericia method) \>550 msec.
  • Active treatment (within 7 days prior to screening) with SZC, sodium bicarbonate, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, lactulose, or patiromer
