The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of MP-5971 in facilitating stone passage after Shock Wave Lithotripsy treatment.
Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) is widely utilized as a first line therapy in patients with renal calculi. SWL is associated with limited morbidity, however, complications relating to stone fragment passage after treatment can occur, the most serious being ureter obstruction. In addition, the growth and agglomeration of residual fragments after SWL treatment, in approximately 40% of patients, will lead to another stone episode within 12 months. Adjunct therapy with MPC-5971 should reduce the risk of complications of residual stone fragments by facilitating passage, preventing blockage and inhibiting growth and enlargement of residual fragments. This is based on MPC-5971's ability to increase urinary inhibitors against growth and agglomeration of stone fragments and by reducing urinary saturation of calcium oxalate and uric acid. The objective is to see a decrease in fragment complications and a significant increase in the stone free rate at 3 months following SWL treatment in combination with MPC-5971.

After SWL treatment subjects will be randomized to receive either MPC-5971 or placebo. Two tablets of MPC-5971 or placebo will be taken orally twice a day (bid). This will give a daily dosage equal to 40 mEq of potassium, 20 mEq of magnesium and 60 mEq of citrate. MPC-5971 or placebo will be taken bid for 90 days beginning immediately after SWL treatment.
