New pill aims to tame dangerous phosphate levels in dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT07548840
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called TS-172 in 30 adults on hemodialysis who have high phosphate levels. Participants take the drug daily for a period, and researchers check if their phosphate levels drop to a target range. The goal is to see if TS-172 can help control phosphate, a common problem in kidney disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TS-172
- What this could lead to
- If successful, TS-172 could offer a new option to help control phosphate levels in dialysis patients, potentially reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 30 participants and no placebo group, so results may not be conclusive. Side effects are not yet well understood.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Hyperphosphatemia patients (outpatients) with chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis (HD or HDF) 3 times a week at least 12 weeks prior to Visit 1 (Week -4) 2. Patients aged \>= 18 years at the time of obtaining informed consent 3. Patients who are receiving at least one phosphate-lowering agent (phosphate binder and tenapanor hydrochloride) within approved dosage, and whose dosing regimen for all phosphate-lowering agents has been unchanged during the last 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 (Week -4). 4. Patients with serum phosphorus concentration of \>= 3.5 mg/dL and \< 5.5 mg/dL at Visit 1 (Week -4) 5. Patients whose serum phosphorus concentration at Visit 3 (Week -2) or Visit 4 (Week -1) has increased by at least 1.0 mg/dL compared with the value at Visit 1 (Week -4) and is \>= 5.5 mg/dL and \< 10.0 mg/dL. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with confirmed serum intact PTH concentration \>500 pg/mL from Visit 1 (Week -4) to Visit 5 (Week 0) 2. Patients with serum phosphorus concentration \>= 10.0 mg/dL from Visit 2 (Week -3) to Visit 4 (Week -1) 3. Patients who have undergone previous parathyroid intervention (PTx, PEIT, etc.)
