Recruiting PHASE3 Hyperkalemia

Tests treatment safety and results for Hyperkalemia

Official title A Two-Part, Phase 3 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of WS016 for the Treatment of Hyperkalemia

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07251309

What this study is testing

What is WS016?

WS016 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for hyperkalemia.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This clinical trial consists of 2 parts, Part A and Part B. Part A consists of a 2-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled corrective phase (CP) and a 28-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled maintenance phase (MP).
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
