To demonstrate the feasibility to induce an effective, predictable and sustained decrease in FGF23 level in CKD stage I-IV patients, without inducing hypophosphatemia using a stepped treatment regimen aiming at restricting phosphate uptake.
Aim of this study proposal· To establish whether oral phosphorus binding is able to reduce FGF23 levels in patients with CKD stage 3.· To evaluate if a reduction of serum phosphate and FGF23 improves vascular function as measured by pulse-wave-…
The main purpose of this trial is to find out if an investigational drug called setmelanotide (RM-493), which mimics MSH, can help control body weight. The efficacy of setmelanotide will be compared to the efficacy of a placebo during 4 to 8 weeks.
Primary Objective is to test the feasibility of a strategy in which patient preference, after a short exposure to treatment options, determines the choice for a specific phosphate binder and whether this strategy will improve patient*s satisfaction.…
