Background
Excessive IDWG in patients with CKD on HD is associated with poor outcomes. Tenapanor, a novel investigational phosphate absorption inhibitor (PAI), inhibits intestinal NHE3 and increases stool Na and water content. To assess whether tenapanor might decrease IDWG and allow patients to achieve target dry weight, we performed post hoc analysis of pre-HD weights from the phase 3 AMPLIFY study (NCT03824587). We hypothesized that, compared to phosphate binder treatment alone, CKD patients treated with tenapanor and phosphate binder would have decreased IDWG and more easily approach target dry weight as reflected by a pre-HD weight decrease.
Methods
In AMPLIFY, patients with CKD on dialysis with high serum phosphorus (despite phosphate binder treatment) were randomized to add tenapanor 30 mg bid or placebo to their treatment regimen for 4 weeks. Pre-HD weights were recorded at baseline and week 4 after a short interdialytic interval. We evaluated the impact of tenapanor on pre-HD weight over the 4-week study.
Results
At week 4, mean pre-HD weight decreased with tenapanor and increased with placebo (Table), and weight percent change differed significantly between tenapanor and placebo groups (LS mean difference: −0.81%, P=0.0284; Table). At week 4, pre-HD weight decreased by a greater percentage in the tenapanor vs placebo groups (Table), and pre-HD weights decreased in a greater number of patients from the tenapanor group and increased in a greater number from the placebo group (Figure).
Conclusion
These results suggest that tenapanor may reduce IDWG. The potential to control serum phosphorus while helping patients achieve target weight may be beneficial for patients on HD.
