Study summary

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Achieving Normal Serum Phosphorus Level

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

    Time frame: 18 months

Secondary outcomes

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

    Time frame: 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

    Time frame: up to 18 months
