Patiromer Trial in CKD Stage IIIB to V

"The recommended starting dose is 8.4 g of patiromer, once daily (equivalent to one packet of the active ingredient, once daily). The daily dose may be adjusted in intervals of one week or longer, based on the serum potassium level and the desired target range. The daily dose may be increased or decreased by 8.4 g as necessary to reach the desired target range, up to a maximum dose of 25.2 g daily. If serum potassium falls below the desired range, the dose should be reduced or discontinued.~Patients are expected to be included during an 18-month recruitment period. The last randomized patient will be maintained on active follow-up for 6 months. All other randomized patients will be maintained on active follow-up until the last randomized patient will have completed the planned 6-month follow-up period. Thus, the follow-up period will be expected to range from a minimum of 6 months for the last randomized patient to a maximum of 24 months for the first randomized patient"
