A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate a Potassium Normalization Treatment Regimen Including Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (ENERGIZE)
A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate a Potassium Normalization Treatment Regimen Including Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (ENERGIZE)
The study is designed to determine if ZS 10g administered up to three times over 10h added to insulin and glucose in patients presenting with hyperkalemia will prove tolerable and efficacious. Patients will receive ZS or Placebo on top of standard of care treatment with insulin and glucose.
Inclusion Criteria:
≥ 18 years of age
Potassium ≥5.8 mmol/L
Exclusion Criteria:
Possible pseudohyperkalaemia
Hyperkalaemia caused by any condition for which a therapy directed against the underlying cause of hyperkalaemia would be a better treatment option than treatment with insulin and glucose.
Dialysis session expected within 4h after randomization
Treated with any therapy intended to lower S-K between arriving at the hospital and randomization during Visit 1.
