About this study

Official title: A Long-Term, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Ability of Tenapanor Alone or in Combination With Sevelamer to Treat to Goal Serum Phosphorus in Patients With End-Stage Kidney Disease on Dialysis (NORMALIZE)

The study is designed to evaluate the ability of tenapanor alone or in combination with sevelamer to achieve serum phosphorus concentration (sP) within the population reference range (sP >2.5 and ≤4.5 mg/dL) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis with hyperphosphatemia (>4.5 mg/dL).

Read the detailed description

Patients who complete the TEN-02-301 study (PHREEDOM) may be eligible to enroll into TEN-02-401 (NORMALIZE).

Patients from the TEN-02-301 tenapanor arm will either receive only tenapanor or be given sevelamer in addition to tenapanor based on their sP. Patients from the TEN-02-301 sevelamer arm will be given tenapanor in addition to their sevelamer dose and the sevelamer dose will then be adjusted based on their sP following a protocol-specified dose titration schedule. Patients will be monitored for safety and efficacy with in-office and telephone visits for up to an additional 18 months.

Laboratory assessments will be measured at every visit (Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 and Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18) using a central laboratory.

Safety assessments will be performed during the study and will include physical examinations, vital signs (blood pressure and pulse), body weights, clinical laboratory evaluations, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), and adverse event (AE) monitoring.

Receives: Drug: Tenapanor; Drug: Sevelamer Carbonate

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Achieving Normal Serum Phosphorus Level

    Proportion of patients with serum phosphorus between 2.5 and 4.5 mg/dL

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Serum Phosphorus (s-P) From TEN-02-301 (Parent Study) Baseline

    The change from the baseline s-P from the parent study until the endpoint visit which was up to 2.5 years after the baseline

    Measured: up to 2.5 years

  2. Change From Baseline in Serum Phosphorus (of Extension Study; TEN-02-401) to Endpoint Visit

    Baseline upon enrollment in the 18-month long-term extension study

    Measured: up to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tenapanor and Sevelamer Carbonate in people with Hyperphosphatemia and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Ardelyx at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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 29 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 29 Mar 2023). 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?

Achieving Normal Serum Phosphorus Level (time frame: 18 months). 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 NCT03988920, 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 29 Mar 2023.
