Spanish hospitals track Real-World use of potassium drug
NCT ID NCT06635499
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how doctors in 20 Spanish hospitals use the drug Lokelma to treat patients with high potassium levels (hyperkalemia). Researchers collected information from 232 patients' medical records to understand how the drug is prescribed and how patients respond in real life. The goal was to learn about treatment patterns and outcomes, not to test a new treatment.

Who is studied
This study targets enrolment of approximately 230 patients diagnosed with hyperkalaemia who have been treated with LokelmaTM following SmPC from May 2021 up to 3 months before the start of data collection per each site in Spain. It is expected to include 20 Spanish public hospitals. Initially, each site will aim to include 10-12 patients; however, the study may turn into competitive if needed to meet the planned timelines.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient of 18 years of age or older at the time of index date (\*). 2. Patient with a diagnosis of hyperkalaemia and/or serum potassium concentration ≥ 5 mmol/L recorded at or before the index date (\*). 3. Patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 45 ml/min/1,73m2 recorded before the index date (\*). 4. Patient who has initiated LokelmaTM from May 2021 until 3 months before the start data collection for each site (LokelmaTM must be used on label in accordance with Summary of Product Characteristic (SmPC)). 5. Patient with a baseline measure of serum potassium levels at or within 7 days before the index date (\*). 6. Patients with at least one follow-up visit during the study period. 7. Patient with data recorded on electronic health records ≥ 6 month before index date (\*). (\*) Index date: Day on which the patient starts treatment with SZC (LokelmaTM). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient presenting pseudohyperkalaemia 2. Patients receiving renal replacement therapy 3. Patient who is pregnant or breastfeeding. 4. Patient who, at the time of inclusion in the study, is participating in a clinical trial that includes the use of K+ binders as an investigational medicinal product (IMP). 5. Patient who has explicitly refused consent to participate in research. 6. Patient medical chart is not available for data extraction or the information in it is not analyzable.
