New drug aims to tackle two key risks in kidney dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT00542386
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tested MCI-196, a drug that binds phosphorus and lowers cholesterol, in 642 adults on dialysis with chronic kidney disease. Participants received either MCI-196 or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if the drug could safely reduce both serum phosphorus and LDL-cholesterol levels, which are linked to heart and bone problems in dialysis patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MCI-196 (colestilan)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new option to manage high phosphorus and cholesterol in dialysis patients, potentially reducing heart and bone complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed Phase 3 trial, but results may not show significant benefit over placebo. Side effects are possible, and the drug may not be approved or widely adopted.
