Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • On peritoneal dialysis at least 3 months with a Kt/V of ≥ 1.7
  • Use of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis
  • Serum phosphate > 5.5 mg/dL or \<5.5 mg/dL on a binder other than velphoro
  • Serum albumin ≤ 3.7 g/dL
  • Able to provide consent
  • Ability to complete self-reported questionnaire

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inadequate dialysis
  • Current use of sucroferric oxyhydroxide
  • Significant comorbid conditions that lead the investigator to conclude that is less than 6 months
  • Active
  • Recent episode of peritonitis
  • Pregnancy or planning to become pregnant
  • Anticipated kidney transplantation within 6 months
  • Factors judged to limit adherence to interventions
  • Known adverse side effect to sucroferric oxydroxide
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.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Intervention

    Open-label, one arm study. Patients receive sucroferric oxyhydroxide three times daily and dose is titrated to keep serum phosphate at goal.

    Drug: Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablet

Interventions

  • DrugSucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablet

    Patients will be started on 1 tablet three times daily with meals and the dose will be titrated monthly in increments of 500mg (1 tablet) per day until serum phosphate is at goal

Limitations and caveats
Study sample size is very small and there is no control group. This was due to complications that arose from the COVID-19 public health crisis.

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 Aug 31, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
