Background

VS-505 is a novel non-absorbed phosphate binder with the component of iron and gum Arabic. This was a phase II, 6-week open-label, randomized, active controlled dose-ranging study in hemodialysis (HD) patients with hyperphosphatemia. The primary objective was to investigate the ability of different fixed dose of VS-505 to lower serum phosphorus in this population.

Methods

Adult HD patients with serum phosphorus level between 6 - 10 mg/dL were randomized to VS-505 at dosages of 1.50, 2.25, 4.50, 6.75 g/d or sevelamer 4.80 g/d divided into 3 times administered orally with meals for 6 weeks. No dose titration was allowed. Patients were withdrawn if their serum phosphorus > 8.5mg/dL or < 2.5mg/dL during the treatment.

Results

There were 133 patients randomized, 131 received the study drugs and 108 patients completed 6-week treatment. A statistically significant decrease in serum phosphorus level from baseline to end of treatment were observed in all VS-505 and sevelamer groups (Table 1). No significant changes of serum calcium, iPTH and iron parameters were observed during the treatment phase.
In pooled VS-505 groups, 81.0% patients reported ≥ 1 TEAE; discolored feces (51.4%) and diarrhea (10.5%) were most common TEAEs. No SAE was related to VS-505 as assessed by the investigator. 4.8% of VS-505 and 3.8% of sevelamer treated patients discontinued treatment due to AEs.

Conclusion

The dose-dependent serum phosphorus lowering effect of VS-505 has been demonstrated. VS-505 4.50 g/d, 6.75g/d and sevelamer 4.80 g/d groups showed clinically significant serum phosphorus reduction. VS-505 was safe and well tolerated in HD patients with hyperphosphatemia.
