About this study
The main purpose of this study is to see whether PT20 can help people with a high level of phosphate in their blood (called Hyperphosphatemia) that are being treated with dialysis for kidney disease.
Read the detailed description
PT20 represents a mechanism to address many of the limitations associated with current phosphate binding agents. The available clinical and non clinical evidence suggests that PT20 binds phosphate and prevents its uptake more efficiently than other phosphate binding drugs and may therefore either reduce the pill burden associated with controlling phosphate levels, or result in lower phosphate levels with the same pill burden.
The this study is the first to investigate the efficacy and safety of PT20 in subjects with dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Serum Phosphate Concentration From Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29)
The primary efficacy endpoint was the change in serum phosphate concentration from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29). All study specific blood samples were collected, processed and analysed using a central laboratory.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 29
Secondary outcomes (5)
Change in Haemoglobin Concentration From Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29)
Descriptive statistics were to be used to summarise values and change from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Day 29 (Visit 11) in haemoglobin concentration. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was to be used to analyse the changes from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29), which were to include the fixed, categorical effects of treatment as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of Baseline concentrations for haemoglobin. Only those subjects with available concentrations for both Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) and Visit 11 (Day 29) were to be included in this analysis.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 29
Change in Serum Ferritin Concentration From Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29)
Descriptive statistics were to be used to summarise values and change from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Day 29 (Visit 11) in serum ferritin concentration. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was to be used to analyse the changes from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29), which were to include the fixed, categorical effects of treatment and week (Visit), as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of Baseline concentrations for serum ferritin. Only those subjects with available concentrations for both Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) and Visit 11 (Day 29) were to be included in this analysis.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 29
Change in Transferrin Saturation From Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29)
Descriptive statistics were to be used to summarise values and change from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Day 29 (Visit 11) in transferrin saturation. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was to be used to analyse the changes from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Day 29 (Visit 11), which were to include the fixed, categorical effects of treatment and week, as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of Baseline concentrations for transferrin saturation. Only those subjects with available concentrations for both Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) and Visit 11 (Day 29) were to be included in this analysis.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 29
Change in Calcium x Phosphate Product From Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29)
Descriptive statistics were to be used to summarise values and change from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Day 29 (Visit 11) in Calcium x Phosphate Product . An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was to be used to analyse the changes from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Day 29 (Visit 11), which were to include the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of Baseline concentrations for Calcium x Phosphate Product. Only those subjects with available concentrations for both Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) and Visit 11 (Day 29) were to be included in this analysis. In CKD subjects (Stages 3-5), the clinical recommendation (KDOQI) is that serum calcium x phosphate product should be maintained at < 55 mg^2/dL^2 (4.4 mmol^2 /L^2).
Measured: Day 1 to Day 29
Change in Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating System (GSRS) Overall Score From Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29)
The GSRS assesses the impact of treatment-related GI complications. It includes 15 items divided into 5 subscales (diarrhoea, indigestion, abdominal pain, constipation, and reflux), and uses a seven-grade Likert scale to assess symptoms (1 = no discomfort at all, 7 = very severe discomfort). The total score was calculated as the average score of all 15 items. If data were missing from one or more subscales, the mean of the completed items within the subscale was to be used for the subscale score, provided that more than half of the subscale items were complete. If more than half of the items within a subscale were missing, the subscale score and overall score were also to be defined as missing. The change in overall GSRS score from Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29) was summarised by treatment and a two-sample t-test was to be used to identify differences between the placebo and PT20 dose groups. The higher the score, the more severe the gastrointestinal symptoms.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 29

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing PT20 in people with Hyperphosphataemia, run by Phosphate Therapeutics.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Serum Phosphate Concentration From Baseline (Visit 7, Day 1) to Visit 11 (Day 29) (time frame: Day 1 to Day 29). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02151643, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2018.
