Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-titration, phase III study assessing the efficacy and tolerability of lanthanum carbonate: a new phosphate binder for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia.
American Journal of Kidney Diseases 2003 July
BACKGROUND: Lanthanum carbonate is a novel, non-calcium, non-aluminum phosphate binder under evaluation for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving either hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
METHODS: This 16-week study assessed the control of serum phosphorus with lanthanum carbonate, and its effects on serum calcium, calcium x phosphorus product, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Hemodialysis patients > or =18 years old entered into a 1- to 3-week washout period during which serum phosphorus levels rose to >5.9 mg/dL (1.90 mmol/L). In total, 126 patients were titrated with lanthanum carbonate at doses containing 375, 750, 1,500, 2,250, or 3,000 mg/d elemental lanthanum, given in divided doses with meals over a 6-week period, to achieve serum levels < or =5.9 mg/dL. By the end of dose titration, 11/126 (9%) patients received < or =750 mg/d of lanthanum, 25 (20%) received 1,500 mg/d, 37 (29%) received 2,250 mg/d, and 53 (42%) received 3,000 mg/d. Following titration, patients were randomized to receive either lanthanum carbonate or placebo during a 4-week, double-blind maintenance phase.
RESULTS: At the study endpoint, the mean difference in serum phosphorus between the lanthanum carbonate and placebo treatment arms was 1.91 mg/dL (0.62 mmol/L) (P < 0.0001). Calcium x phosphorus product (P < 0.0001) and serum PTH levels (P < 0.01) were also significantly lower with lanthanum carbonate versus placebo. The incidence of drug-related adverse events was similar between placebo- and lanthanum carbonate-treated patients.
CONCLUSION: Lanthanum carbonate is an effective and well-tolerated agent for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with ESRD.
