A Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of ZS in Patients With Hyperkalemia.
brief summary
To evaluate the efficacy of two different doses (5 and 10 g) of ZS orally administered once daily (qd) vs placebo in maintaining normokalemia in initially hyperkalemic patients having achieved normokalemia following 24 or 48 hours of initial ZS therapy (10g TID).
detailed description
This study will be conducted in approximately 35 centers in China. Before patients are randomized to the double-blind phase, they will receive open-label ZS for 24 or 48 hours during the initial phase. It is expected that approximately 490 patients will need to be enrolled, to have approximately 280 patients entered into the open-label initial phase resulting in 250 patients being randomized in the 28-day treatment study phase. Enrolment will be stopped when 250 patients have been initiated with the 28-day randomized treatment study phase.
