Background
High calcification propensity (i.e. short T50 times in the calciprotein particle formation test) is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in ESRD patients. So far, no clinical trial has investigated the effect of lowering serum phosphate with oral phosphate binder therapy on calcification propensity in ESRD patients.
Methods
Single-center, open-label, controlled, randomized, cross-over study in chronic hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either low-dose (250mg/d) sucroferric oxyhydroxide (PA21) followed by high-dose (2000mg/d) PA21 or vice versa, with wash-out phases (no phosphate binder therapy) in between. The primary endpoint was change in T50 time between wash-out and high dose PA21 treatment in patients with ≥85% adherence to the prescribed PA21 dose (per protocol analysis). There was no carry-over effect as determined by a linear mixed model, and thus a paired t-test was calculated.
Results
Thirty-nine patients were randomized and 28 patients were available for per-protocol analysis. Compared to phosphate binder wash-out, 2000mg/d PA21 treatment resulted in a mean increase in T50 times of 66 min (95% CI 49-84 min, p<0.0001), from 243 (± 63 min) to 309 (± 74 min). Serum phosphate decreased from 2.28 (± 0.5) to 1.63 (± 0.43) mmol/l. In the secondary intention to treat (ITT) analysis, treatment with 2000 mg/d PA21 resulted in a mean increase in T50 times of 60 min (95% CI 36-83 min, p<0.0001) compared to phosphate-binder wash-out. Serum phosphate decreased from 2.18 +/- 0.5 to 1.64+/- 0.46 mmol/l. In patients achieving a decline in serum phosphate ≥ 0.5 mmol/l between wash-out and the 2000 mg/d treatment phase (N=20, pre-specified subgroup), T50 time increased by 85 min (95% CI 58-112 min, p<0.0001). PA21 at 250 mg/d did not influence T50 times (p=0.4) or serum phosphate values (p= 0.9) compared to phosphate binder wash-out. No major adverse cardiovascular event, case of calciphylaxis or death occurred during the study.
Conclusion
Lowering serum phosphate with PA21 therapy reduces calcification propensity of serum of hemodialysis patients.
