Clinical Study of KHK7791 in Hyperphosphatemia Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis

A Phase 3, Open-label, Single-arm Clinical Study of KHK7791 in Hyperphosphatemia Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis

To evaluate the efficacy of KHK7791 by comparing changes in serum phosphorus levels from baseline values between peritoneal dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia receiving repeated administration of KHK7791 for 8 weeks and those receiving placebo.
