Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Exponential Rate of Change in Serum Potassium (S-K) Values During the Initial 48 Hours of Study Drug Treatment

    Blood samples for determination of potassium were collected pre-dose, and at 1, 2, and 4 hours post Dose 1 on Day 1. An additional sample was collected at 90 minutes post Dose 2 on Day 1 if i-STAT potassium values at the 4-hour post Dose 1 time point was ≥ 6.1 or \<4.0 mmol/L. On Day 2 samples were analysed pre-dose, and 1 and 4 hours post Dose 1. S-K levels were analysed at the Central Laboratory. Natural logarithm of S-K from 0 to 48 hours post dose are modelled by the random coefficients model including fixed effects of intercept, time, time x treatment and patient-level random effects for time and intercept. Exponential rate of change refers to the slope estimate from the random coefficients model.

    From 0 to 48 hours.

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Percentage of Patients Who Achieved Normokalaemia at 48 Hours

    At 48 hours.

  • Exponential Rate of Change in S-K Values During the Initial 24 Hours of Study Drug Treatment

    From 0 to 24 hours.

  • Percentage of Patients Who Achieved Normokalaemia at 24 Hours

    At 24 hours.

  • Percentage of Patients Who Achieved Normokalaemia at Each Scheduled Potassium Assessment Time Point

    From baseline to end of study (9 days).

  • Mean Change From Baseline in S-K Values at All Measured Time Intervals

    From baseline to end of study (9 days).

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures.
  • Patients aged ≥18. For patients aged \<20 years, a written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and his or her legally acceptable representative.
  • Two consecutive i-STAT potassium values, measured 60 (± 10) minutes apart, both values should be ≥ 5.1 mmol/L and ≤ 6.5 mmol/L and measured within 1 day before the first dose of study drug on Study Day 1.
  • Ability to have repeated blood draws or effective venous catheterization.
  • Female patients must be 1 year post-menopausal, surgically sterile, or using an acceptable method of contraception (an acceptable method of contraception is defined as a barrier method in conjunction with a spermicide) for the duration of the study (from the time they sign consent) and for 3 months after the last dose of ZS/matching placebo to prevent pregnancy. In addition, oral contraceptives, approved contraceptive implant, long-term injectable contraception, intrauterine device, or tubal ligation are allowed. Oral contraception alone is not acceptable; additional barrier methods in conjunction with spermicide must be used.

You may not qualify if:

  • Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site)
  • Cause or symptoms of pseudohyperkalemia, such as
  • hemolyzed blood specimen due to excessive fist clenching to make veins prominent
  • hemolyzed blood specimen due to difficult or traumatic venepuncture
  • history of severe leukocytosis or thrombocytosis
  • Patients treated with lactulose, rifaximin, or other non-absorbed antibiotics for hyperammonemia within 7 days prior to first dose of study drug on Study Day 1
  • Patients treated with resins (such as sevelamer hydrochloride, sodium polystyrene sulfonate \[SPS; e.g. Kayexalate®\] or calcium polystyrene sulfonate \[CPS\]), calcium acetate, calcium carbonate, or lanthanum carbonate, within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug
  • Patients with a life expectancy of less than 3 months
  • Patients who are severely physically or mentally incapacitated and who, in the opinion of investigator, are unable to perform the patients' tasks associated with the protocol
  • Female patients who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant
  • Patients who have an active or history of diabetic ketoacidosis
  • Presence of any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, places the patient at undue risk or potentially jeopardizes the quality of the data to be generated
  • Known hypersensitivity or previous anaphylaxis to ZS or to components thereof
  • Treatment with a drug or device within the last 30 days that has not received regulatory approval at the time of study entry
  • Patients with cardiac arrhythmias that require immediate treatment
  • +1 more criteria
