Study summary

This is a single center, inpatient, open label pharmacodynamic study to determine the effect of 5 g and 10 g doses of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (ZS) administered once daily (qd) for 4 days on potassium and sodium excretion in healthy Chinese subjects on a standardized, low sodium and high potassium diet.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted at 1 study centre in Hong Kong. Approximately 22 Subjects will be screened to achieve 20 subjects completing the study. Subjects will be randomized to receive ZS 5 g or 10 g (1:1) once daily (qd) in conjunction with breakfast and will be continued with a standard diet during the ZS treatment period.

  5. Plasma donation within 1 month of screening or any blood donation/blood loss >500 mL during the 3 months prior to screening.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    ZS 5g, qd

    Subjects randomized to this arm will receive ZS 5 g qd in conjunction with breakfast during the ZS treatment period and will be continued with a standard diet.

    Drug: Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (ZS)

  • Experimental
    ZS 10g, qd

    Subjects randomized to this arm will receive ZS 10 g qd in conjunction with breakfast during the ZS treatment period and will be continued with a standard diet.

    Drug: Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (ZS)

Interventions

  • Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (ZS) is a non-absorbed, inorganic crystalline compound that selectively captures potassium ions in exchange for sodium and hydrogen ions in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean change from baseline to ZS treatment period in urine potassium excretion.

    The 48- hour urine potassium excretion on Study Days 3 and 4 (baseline) will be compared with 48-hour urine potassium excretion on Study Days 7 and 8 (on study drug).

    Time frame: Study Day 3 and 4 vs Study Day 7 and 8.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean change from baseline to ZS treatment period in urine sodium excretion.

    The 48- hour urine sodium excretion on Study Days 3 and 4 (baseline) will be compared with 48- hour urine sodium excretion on Study Days 7 and 8 (on study drug).

    Time frame: Study Day 3 and 4 vs Study Day 7 and 8.

  2. Mean change from baseline to ZS treatment period in serum potassium (S-K).

    Mean change in S-K from the Baseline Period (Day 3 and 4) to the ZS Treatment Period (Day 7 and 8).

    Time frame: Study Day 3 and 4 vs Study Day 7 and 8.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 19, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
