This Phase 3, 26-week, open label study with a 12-week, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period followed by an open label long term safety extension will evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenapanor to treat hyperphosphatemia in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
The study consists of a screening visit, a phosphate binder-free washout period of up to 4 weeks, a 26-week treatment period, an up to 12-week placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period, during which patients are randomized 1:1 to either remain on their tenapanor treatment or placebo, followed by an open label safety extension period for a total treatment period of up to 52 weeks. An active control group, for safety analysis only, will receive sevelamer carbonate, open label, for the entire 52-week study period Depending on increase in serum phosphate (s-P) levels, subjects can be randomized 2 or 3 weeks after being taken off their phosphate lowering medication. Subjects who qualify to enroll in the study will be randomized 3:1 to either receive tenapanor at a dose of 30 mg bid or sevelamer carbonate.

Change in Serum Phosphorus Levels During Placebo Controlled Randomized Withdrawal Period in the Responder Population
Patients with at least a 1.2 mg/dL decrease in serum phosphorus during the first 26 weeks of the study were defined as the responder population.
Time frame: 12 weeks (randomized withdrawal period)
Change in Serum Phosphorus Levels During Placebo Controlled Randomized Withdrawal Period in the ITT Population
Placebo Adjusted Change in Serum Phosphorus from the beginning to the end of the Randomized Withdrawal Period in all patients
Time frame: 12 weeks (randomized withdrawal period)
Serum Phosphorus From Baseline
Serum Phosphorus from baseline (post washout) to end of 26 week period
Time frame: 26 weeks (open label treatment period)
