Background
Retrospective analysis evaluated the effectiveness of the phosphate binder (PB), sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO), for serum phosphorus (sP) control among European HD pts in routine practice.
Methods
De-identified data were extracted from a clinical database (EuCliD5) for adult HD pts (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Russia) newly prescribed SO between Jan 2015−Jan 2019 for up to 1 year. PB pill burden and sP were compared between baseline (BL; 3-month period prior to SO prescription) and 4 consecutive quarters of SO therapy (Q1−Q4) for the overall cohort and 3 subgroups: PB-naïve pts treated with SO monotherapy (mSO), and PB pre-treated pts either switched to SO monotherapy (PB→mSO), or who added SO to another PB (PB+SO).
Results
The overall cohort comprised 1096 pts (mean age: 60.6 years; 65.8% male) including 796, 188 and 53 pts in the PB+SO, mSO, and PB→mSO groups. Comparing BL and Q1−Q4 for the overall cohort, SO provided consistent reductions in mean sP, and increased the % pts achieving sP target (≤5.5 mg/dL) (Fig.A). Of the 3 subgroups analyzed, mean BL sP levels were highest among PB+SO pts (5.9 mg/dL) and lowest among PB→mSO pts (5.43 mg/dL) (Fig.B). % of pts achieving sP target increased in all 3 subgroups during Q1−Q4, but to the greatest extent in the mSO and PB+SO groups. For PB+SO pts, sP improvements were achieved with a similar number of PB pills prescribed at BL prior to SO (6.5 vs. 6.2 pills/day at Q4). SO pill burden was low across all 3 subgroups (2.1−2.8 pills/day).
Conclusion
This real-world analysis suggests SO can improve sP control among HD pts either administered as monotherapy or add-on therapy to another PB, without increasing pill burden.
