---|---|
Experimental: Intervention
Open-label, one arm study. Patients receive sucroferric oxyhydroxide three times daily and dose is titrated to keep serum phosphate at goal.
|
Drug: Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablet
Patients will be started on 1 tablet three times daily with meals and the dose will be titrated monthly in increments of 500mg (1 tablet) per day until serum phosphate is at goal |
- Serum Phosphate at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Serum phosphate at baseline
- Serum Phosphate at 6 Months [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Serum phosphate at end of study (6 months)
- Serum Albumin [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months ]Changes in serum albumin from baseline to 6 months
- Serum FGF23 [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Change in serum FGF23 from baseline to 6 months
- Serum PTH [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months ]Change in serum PTH (perathyroid hormone) from baseline to 6 months
- Serum Prealbumin [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Change in prealbumin from baseline to 6 months
