Abstract
BACKGROUND Many food items included in the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) are rich in polyamines, small aliphatic amines with potential cardioprotective effects. The consumption of a MedDiet could increase polyamine concentrations. Based on experimental models, polyamine concentrations may be also influenced by physical activity (PA). OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate whether an intervention based on an energy-restricted MedDiet (er-MedDiet) and PA promotion, in comparison with an energy-unrestricted MedDiet and traditional health care, influences the serum pattern of polyamines and related metabolites in subjects at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS This was a substudy from the PREDIMED-Plus trial, an ongoing randomized clinical trial including 6874 participants allocated either to an intensive weight-loss lifestyle intervention based on er-MedDiet, PA promotion, and behavioral support (er-MedDiet + PA group), or to an energy-unrestricted MedDiet and traditional health care group (MedDiet group). A total of 75 patients (n = 38, er-MedDiet + PA group; n = 37, MedDiet group) were included in this study. Serum concentrations of arginine, ornithine, polyamines, and acetyl polyamines at baseline and 26 wk of intervention were measured by an ultra-high-performance LC-tandem MS platform. RESULTS At week 26, study groups had similar adherence to the MedDiet but patients randomly assigned to the er-MedDiet + PA group showed significantly lower mean energy intake (-340.3 kcal/d; 95% CI: -567.3, -113.4 kcal/d; P = 0.004), higher mean PA (1290.6; 95% CI: 39.9, 2541.3 metabolic equivalent tasks · min/d; P = 0.043), and higher mean decrease in BMI (in kg/m2) (-1.3; 95% CI: -1.8, -0.6; P < 0.001) than the MedDiet group. However, no significant differences in serum polyamines or related metabolites were found between study groups after 26 wk of intervention and no significant between-group differences were found in glycated hemoglobin, HDL-cholesterol, or triglyceride concentrations. CONCLUSIONS In individuals at high CVD risk, an er-MedDiet with increased PA did not result in significant changes of serum concentrations of polyamines or related metabolites in comparison with an energy-unrestricted MedDiet and no increase in PA. This trial was registered at isrctn.com as ISRCTN89898870.

Abstract
Currently, calcium- or metal-containing phosphate binders are available to treat hyperphosphatemia in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease. Bixalomer, a non-calcium, metal-free phosphate binder, has not been studied in these patients. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of bixalomer versus placebo for treatment of hyperphosphatemia in Japanese predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial, randomized eligible patients 1:1 to receive bixalomer or placebo for 12 weeks. Bixalomer was started at 1500 mg/day and adjusted up to 7500 mg/day depending on serum phosphorus concentrations. The primary endpoint was change in serum phosphorus concentration from baseline to end of treatment. After a 4-week pre-investigational period, 163 patients (bixalomer: N = 81; placebo: N = 82) were randomized. The adjusted mean change (95% confidence interval) from baseline to end of treatment in serum phosphorus was significantly greater with bixalomer (-0.78 [-0.98, -0.57] mg/dL) versus placebo (0.20 [-0.00, 0.41] mg/dL); mean difference: -0.98 (-1.27, -0.69), P < 0.001. At end of treatment, 57.5% of bixalomer-treated patients achieved target serum phosphorus concentrations, mean serum intact parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor-23 decreased, and there were no significant changes in corrected serum calcium. The safety and tolerability of bixalomer was similar to placebo. The most common drug-related adverse events were gastrointestinal (>24% patients per group). There was a significant increase in bicarbonate concentrations with bixalomer versus placebo (P = 0.003). Bixalomer was superior to placebo for hyperphosphatemia in Japanese predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease and may constitute a new treatment option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND JTT-751 is a novel phosphate binder containing ferric citrate as the active ingredient. METHODS In this Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study, we compared the efficacy and safety of JTT-751 and sevelamer hydrochloride in patients undergoing hemodialysis. A total of 230 patients with a serum phosphate ≥1.97 and <3.23 mmol/L were randomized to JTT-751 (dose adjusted between 1.5 and 6.0 g/day) or sevelamer hydrochloride (dose adjusted between 3.0 and 9.0 g/day) for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was change in serum phosphate from baseline to end of treatment. Secondary outcomes included the changes in corrected serum calcium and intact parathyroid hormone (PTH). The changes in ferritin, transferrin saturation and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dose were additional outcomes. RESULTS Changes in serum phosphate at the end of treatment were -0.82 mmol/L in the JTT-751 group and -0.78 mmol/L in the sevelamer group, establishing non-inferiority of JTT-751 compared with sevelamer (least squares mean, -0.03 mmol/L; 95% confidence interval, -0.13 to 0.07 mmol/L). Corrected serum calcium increased and PTH decreased from baseline within both groups; changes between groups were similar. Gastrointestinal disorders were the most common adverse events in both groups; the incidence of diarrhea was higher in the JTT-751 group, while constipation occurred frequently in the sevelamer group. Treatment with JTT-751 resulted in significant relative increases in serum ferritin and transferrin saturation. CONCLUSIONS Efficacy and safety of JTT-751 was comparable to sevelamer in patients on hemodialysis with hyperphosphatemia. Differential adverse effects were observed; biochemical markers of iron status increased in patients treated with JTT-751.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared the effects of short-term titrated colestilan (a novel non-absorbable, non-calcium, phosphate binder) with placebo, and evaluated the safety and efficacy of colestilan over 1 year compared with sevelamer, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) 5D. METHODS This prospective multicentre study comprised a 4-week phosphate binder washout period, a 16-week short-term, flexible-dose, treatment period (including a 4-week placebo-controlled withdrawal period) and a 40-week extension treatment phase. RESULTS At Week 16 (the end of the 4-week placebo-controlled withdrawal period), serum phosphorus level was 0.43 mmol/L (1.32 mg/dL) lower with colestilan than placebo (P < 0.001; primary end point). Serum LDL-C level was also lower with colestilan than with placebo (P < 0.001). Both colestilan and sevelamer produced significant reductions from baseline in serum phosphorus levels (P < 0.001), maintained for 1 year, and the proportion of patients achieving target levels of ≤1.78 mmol/L (5.5 mg/dL) or ≤1.95 mmol/L (6.0 mg/dL) at study end were similar (65.3 and 73.3%, respectively, for colestilan, and 66.9 and 77.4%, respectively, for sevelamer). Serum calcium level remained stable in the colestilan group but tended to increase slightly in the sevelamer group (end-of-study increase of 0.035 mmol/L over baseline). Both binders produced similar reductions from baseline in LDL-C level (P < 0.001), and responder rates after 1 year, using a target of <1.83 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) or <2.59 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) were similar in both groups (50.7 and 85.3% for colestilan and 54.0 and 80.6% for sevelamer). Colestilan was generally well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS Colestilan is effective and safe for the treatment of hyperphosphataemia in patients with CKD 5D, and affords similar long-term phosphorus and cholesterol reductions/responder rates to sevelamer.

Clinical drug investigation. 2014;(8):537-44
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common consequence of chronic kidney disease. Cinacalcet (Sensipar(®)) is often prescribed in combination to reduce elevated levels of parathyroid hormone, calcium and phosphorus. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of concomitantly administered therapies of calcium carbonate (CaCO(3); TUMS(®)), sevelamer hydrochloride (HCl; Renagel(®)) and pantoprazole sodium (Protonix(®)) on the pharmacokinetics and safety of cinacalcet in healthy subjects. METHODS Three randomized, open-label, two-way crossover pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in healthy subjects. Participants received single doses of cinacalcet alone or in combination with either CaCO(3), sevelamer HCl or pantoprazole. The pharmacokinetic profile of cinacalcet was characterized. Safety assessments including adverse event reporting, changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory measurements were conducted throughout the studies. RESULTS The 90 % confidence intervals for the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC(last)), area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC(0-∞)) and maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) of cinacalcet were within the accepted range of 80-125 % for both CaCO(3) and sevelamer HCl co-administration with cinacalcet. No severe or serious adverse events or clinically relevant changes in physical or laboratory findings occurred during the studies. CONCLUSION The pharmacokinetic parameters of cinacalcet were not affected by co-administration of CaCO(3), sevelamer HCl or pantoprazole. Co-administration of these agents with cinacalcet does not require an adjustment of the dose of cinacalcet.

Abstract
AIMS: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) promotes calcium reabsorption in the cortical distal nephron (CDN). The phosphate concentration ([P]f) rises in that segment in chronic kidney disease (CKD); in theory, high [P]f could reduce availability of calcium for reabsorption and necessitate a compensatory rise in [PTH]. With assumptions, [P]f is proportional to phosphate excreted/volume of filtrate (EP/GFR). We therefore hypothesized that [PTH] would correlate with EP/GFR in CKD, and ΔPTH] would correlate with ΔEP/GFR after sevelamer therapy. METHODS We conducted a 4-week, placebo-controlled trial of sevelamer carbonate in patients with CKD. [PTH]1-84 and parameters of phosphate homeostasis were measured before and after treatment. GFR was assumed to equal creatinine clearance (Ccr). Pertinent linear regressions were performed. RESULTS Phosphate excretion fell in the sevelamer group only. Decrements in [PTH] with sevelamer differed from increments with placebo. With either treatment, [PTH] correlated with EP/Ccr and ΔPTH] correlated with ΔEP/Ccr. Changes in [PTH] were minimal in some sevelamer recipients despite reductions in EP/Ccr; calcium excreted/volume of filtrate was low in these subjects. CONCLUSIONS Phosphate influx affected [PTH] in CKD by determining [P]f in the CDN. In some patients, low calcium influx may have blunted the effect of sevelamer on [PTH].
