Placebo Comparator: FDP-Placebo for Sevelamer Carbonate, DTP-Sevelamer Carbonate
Participants received placebo for 2 weeks during the fixed dose period (FDP). Participants received sevelamer carbonate for 26 weeks in dose titration period (DTP).

- Change From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 2 in Serum Phosphorus [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 ]Full analysis set for fixed dose period (FAS-FDP) participants were analyzed according to their randomized treatment. The change in serum phosphorus (mg/dL) from baseline to week 2 was calculated.
- Treatment - Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 32 weeks (up to 4 weeks washout period, 2 weeks FDP and 26 weeks DTP) ]A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. AEs from the time of signing the informed consent through the end of the study for all participants. SAEs occurring during the 15 days following study completion or early termination were also to be collected.
- Change From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 28/Early Termination in Serum Phosphorus [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 28/Early Termination ]Full analysis set for dose titration period (FAS-DTP) participants were analyzed according to their randomized treatment. The change in serum phosphorus (mg/dL) from baseline to Week 28/Early Termination was calculated.
