NCT06660524

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if calcium-phosphorus regulation therapy can slow the progression of heart valve calcification in patients with degenerative heart valve disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does Sevelamer lower the progression of heart valve calcification compared to calcium carbonate over 12 months?
  • What are the impacts of calcium-phosphorus regulation therapy on major cardiovascular events such as heart failure, cardiovascular death, and the need for valve surgery? Researchers will compare Sevelamer to calcium carbonate to see if Sevelamer is more effective in reducing heart valve calcification. Participants will:
  • Take Sevelamer or calcium carbonate daily for 12 months.
  • Undergo echocardiography and CT scans at baseline and after 12 months to assess heart valve calcification.
  • Attend follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to monitor blood tests and adjust treatment as needed.

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

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 50 years old.
  • Degenerative valvular heart disease clearly diagnosed by ultrasound or clinical history with calcification manifestation (including no stenosis or insufficiency due to calcification, mild, moderate and severe stenosis and insufficiency caused by calcification).
