A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel
Group, Fixed Dose Study of AMG 223 in Subjects with CKD on
Hemodialysis with Hyperphosphatemia.
ASN Annual Meeting -- San Diego
J Am Soc Nephrol
(Nov) 20:367A 2009

Despite the association with morbidity and mortality, control of
hyperphosphatemia remains difficult. AMG 223 is a novel polymer-based,
nonmetallic, phosphate binder in development for the treatment of
hyperphosphatemia. The main objectives of this study were to demonstrate (1)
significant serum P reduction compared with placebo (PL), (2) a dose response
for AMG 223, and (3) the safety profile over a 3 week treatment period.
Subjects with serum phosphorus (P) of 3.5-6.5 mg/dL entered a washout,
followed by 3:1 (AMG 223:PL) randomization to 1 of 8 fixed-dose groups (4 PL,
4 AMG 223) if serum P increased by 1.5 mg/dL and
was >5.5 mg/dL.

(29%) | 12/30 (40%) | 22/32 (69%) | 23/29
(79%) | 22/30 (73%) | P<0.0001 compared to placebo | p < 0.0001 for test of
trend |
AMG 223 significantly
reduced serum P and a consistent dose response was seen across all 4 AMG 223
dose groups based on the proportion of subjects with serum P reduction of
1.5 mg/dL. No relationship between dose and
reported adverse events was found. The most common GI-related AEs across all
AMG 223 dose groups were diarrhea (5% PL, 6% AMG 223), constipation (0%PL, 4%
AMG 223), nausea (3% PL, 3% AMG 223), and vomiting (3% PL, 3% AMG 223). This
fixed-dose short term study demonstrated that AMG 223 is efficacious and well
tolerated, but larger studies of longer duration are needed to further
understand the efficacy and safety of AMG 223 for the treatment of
hyperphosphatemia.
