"Sucroferric oxyhydroxide"

INTRODUCTION: Constipation is prevalent in patients with kidney failure partly due to the use of medication, such as phosphate binders. We hypothesized that serum levels of gut microbiome-derived uremic toxins (UTOX) may be affected by the choice of phosphate binder putatively through its impact on colonic transit time. We investigated two commonly prescribed phosphate binders, sevelamer carbonate (SEV) and sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFO), and their association with gut microbiome-derived UTOX levels in hemodialysis (HD) patients...

PURPOSE: Iron-based phosphate binders, including ferric citrate hydrate (FCH) and sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH), have been used for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis. However, the long-term efficacy and safety of these agents have not yet been clearly elucidated. METHODS: Laboratory data of 56 hemodialysis patients who had been prescribed either FCH (n = 33) or SFOH (n = 23) were retrospectively examined...

Background: The iron-based phosphate binder (PB), sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH), is indicated to control serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. Methods: This non-interventional, prospective, multicentre, cohort study conducted in seven European countries evaluated the safety and effectiveness of SFOH in dialysis patients with hyperphosphataemia in routine practice. Safety outcomes included adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and changes in iron-related parameters...

It is estimated that by 2040 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) will be the 5th main cause of global deaths. It has been suggested that hyperphosphatemia is among the main factors leading to the increased risk of death. This review focuses on potential and currently used phosphate binders (PB). Aluminum hydroxide is presently not recommended due to potential aluminum toxicity. Calcium‑containing phosphate binders (CCPB) can cause calcium overload, resulting in hypercalcemia and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases...

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Mortality rates are still unacceptably high even though they have fallen in the past 2 decades. Hyperphosphatemia (elevated serum phosphate levels) is seen in almost all patients with advanced CKD and is by far the largest remaining modifiable contributor to CKD mortality. SUMMARY: Phosphate retention drives multiple physiological mechanisms linked to increased risk of CVD...

PURPOSE: A study was conducted to determine whether iron-based phosphate binders (IBPBs) need to be preferred for hyperphosphatemia and anemia management in patients on dialysis. METHODS: For this meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomized controlled trials that evaluated the efficacy and safety of IBPBs in decreasing phosphate and correcting anemia in dialysis patients. RESULTS: Nineteen trials comprising 4719 participants were included...

BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) have been reported in clinical trials. However, real-life data are scarce. This study presents data on the use, efficacy and safety of SO in real clinical practice. METHODS: We performed a retrospective multicentre study, without any influence on the prescription decisions, that included 220 patients from 11 Spanish centres. Demographic, treatment, analytical and nutritional parameters and adherence, side effects and dropout rates were collected during 6 months...

Background: Calcification propensity is associated with the risk for cardiovascular events and death in end-stage renal disease patients. Here we investigated the effect of lowering serum phosphate with oral phosphate binder therapy on calcification propensity. Methods: We performed an open-label, randomized, controlled, crossover study in chronic haemodialysis patients with hyperphosphataemia. Patients ( n  = 39) were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either low-dose (250 mg/day) sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) followed by high-dose (2000 mg/day) SO or vice versa, with washout phases before and after SO treatment...

BACKGROUND: In patients on maintenance dialysis, cardiovascular mortality risk is remarkably high, which can be partly explained by severe coronary artery calcification (CAC). Hyperphosphatemia has been reported to be associated with the severity of CAC. However, the optimal phosphate range in patients on dialysis remains unknown. This study was planned to compare the effects on CAC progression of two types of noncalcium-based phosphate binders and of two different phosphate target ranges...

BACKGROUND: The iron-based phosphate binder (PB), sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH), demonstrated its effectiveness for lowering serum phosphate levels, with low daily pill burden, in clinical trials of dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. This retrospective database analysis evaluated the real-world effectiveness of SFOH for controlling serum phosphate in European hemodialysis patients. METHODS: De-identified patient data were extracted from a clinical database (EuCliD®) for adult hemodialysis patients from France, Italy, Portugal, Russia and Spain who were newly prescribed SFOH for up to 1 year as part of routine clinical care...

INTRODUCTION: Alterations in bone and mineral metabolism are very common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The increase in phosphate levels leads to bone disease, risk of calcification and greater mortality, so any strategy aimed at reducing them should be welcomed. The latest drug incorporated into the therapeutic arsenal to treat hyperphosphataemia in CKD is sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFO). OBJECTIVE: To analyse the efficacy and safety of SFO in 3 cohorts of patients, one with advanced CKD not on dialysis, another on peritoneal dialysis and the last on haemodialysis, followed for 6 months...

BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) are often prescribed oral phosphate binders (PBs) for the management of hyperphosphatemia. However, available PBs have limitations, including unfavorable tolerability and safety. METHODS: This phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open-label study investigated safety and efficacy of sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH) in pediatric and adolescent subjects with CKD and hyperphosphatemia. Subjects were randomized to SFOH or calcium acetate (CaAc) for a 10-week dose titration (stage 1), followed by a 24-week safety extension (stage 2)...

Although disturbed phosphate metabolism frequently accompanies chronic kidney disease (CKD), its causal role in CKD progression remains unclear. It is also not fully understood how excess salt induces organ damage. We here show that urinary phosphate-containing nanoparticles promote kidney injury in salt-sensitive hypertension. In Dahl salt-sensitive rats, salt loading resulted in a significant increase in urinary phosphate excretion without altering serum phosphate levels. An intestinal phosphate binder sucroferric oxyhydroxide attenuated renal inflammation and proteinuria in this model, along with the suppression of phosphaturia...

INTRODUCTION: Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (PA21) is an efficacious, well-tolerated iron-based phosphate binder and a promising alternative to existing compounds. We compared the effects of PA21 with those of a conventional phosphate binder on renal function, mineral homeostasis and vascular calcification in a chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) rat model. METHODS: To induce stable renal failure, rats were administered a 0.25% adenine diet for 8 weeks...

Because end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis frequently take acid suppressants for the treatment or prevention of gastrointestinal diseases, it is important to clarify the drug-interactions between acid suppressants and phosphate binders on the control of serum phosphate levels. In the present study, we examined whether the phosphate-lowering effects of three phosphate binders, lanthanum carbonate (LC), ferric citrate hydrate (FCH), and sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH), were affected by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in maintenance hemodialysis patients...

Rationale & Objective: High pill burden associates with reduced phosphate-binder adherence among dialysis patients, contributing to elevated serum phosphorus levels. We compared the real-world effectiveness of sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) versus other phosphate binders in hemodialysis patients over 2 years. Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting & Participants: Adult in-center hemodialysis patients prescribed 2 years of uninterrupted SO therapy (maintenance SO; n = 222) compared with patients who discontinued SO therapy (discontinued SO; n = 596) within 90 days of first prescription and switched to other phosphate binder(s) for 2 years...

INTRODUCTION: Control of hyperphosphatemia in patients on dialysis remains a major challenge. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated predictors of serum phosphorus (sP) control among dialysis patients treated with noncalcium, oral phosphate binder therapy in a phase 3 clinical trial. METHODS: Post hoc analyses were performed using data for patients with hyperphosphatemia who received 52 weeks of treatment with sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH) or sevelamer carbonate (sevelamer)...

INTRODUCTION: The lack of adherence to phosphate -binders (PB) is the most important factor in not achieving the objectives of serum phosphorus (sP). Studies in the real-world population are needed to understand the influence of PBs on adherence and how to modify it. METHODS: Prospective study conducted during 3 months in usual clinical practice. Out of 105 hemodialysis patients, 57 were switched to SFOH and 48 maintained their baseline treatment (control group)...

BACKGROUND: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), dysbiosis in the gastrointestinal microbiome is thought to be associated with increased production of uremic toxins, such as indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS). Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFO), an iron-based phosphate binder, may affect the gastrointestinal microbiome and the production of uremic toxins. We aimed to examine whether SFO administration affected distribution of gastrointestinal microbiome and serum uremic toxin levels in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis...

BACKGROUND: The iron-based phosphate binders, sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH) and ferric citrate (FC), effectively lower serum phosphorus in clinical studies, but gastrointestinal iron absorption from these agents appears to differ. We compared iron uptake and tissue accumulation during treatment with SFOH or FC using experimental rat models. METHODS: Iron uptake was evaluated during an 8-h period following oral administration of SFOH, FC, ferrous sulphate (oral iron supplement) or control (methylcellulose vehicle) in rat models of anaemia, iron overload and inflammation...
