First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tests whether patiromer, a drug that lowers potassium levels, allows people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease to safely increase their dose of a common blood pressure medication (irbesartan). The goal is to see if this leads to better kidney protection and lower blood pressure. About 44 adults will take either patiromer or a placebo for 12 weeks, then switch, while their irbesartan dose is increased and monitored.
