Label indication LANTHANUM CARBONATE is a phosphate binder indicated to reduce serum phosphate in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Management of elevated serum phosphorus levels in patients with ESRD usually includes all of the following: reduction in dietary intake of phosphate, removal of phosphate by dialysis, and reduction of intestinal phosphate absorption with phosphate binders.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Age-Specific Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) Targets for Serum Phosphate Level Following 8 Weeks of Lanthanum Carbonate Administration (Part 2 + Part 3)
After 8 weeks of lanthanum carbonate administration in Part 2 and/or in Part 3

KDOQI serum phosphorus targets were defined for: Adolescents aged greater than or equal to (\>=) 12 to less than (\<) 18 years to be less than or equal to (\<=) 5.5 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (1.78 millimoles per liter \[mmol/L\]); Children aged \>=10 years to \<12 years to be \<= 6.0 mg/dL (1.94 mmol/L). Percentage of participants achieving age-specific KDOQI targets for serum phosphate level was reported only for the participants who had received lanthanum carbonate during part 2 or part 3. Data was analyzed and presented as per the intervention received in this study related to this outcome and not analyzed based on each part of the study.

Natural Logarithm Transformed Serum Intact Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF-23) Levels at Week 12 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)
12 Weeks

FGF-23 plays an important role in mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease patients. It is secreted by bone cells in response to hyperphosphatemia. It acts to decrease renal phosphate reabsorption. Administration of a phosphate-binder (i.e. lanthanum carbonate) was expected to produce a reduction in FGF-23 levels.

Serum phosphorus levels at 8 weeks.

Net Phosphorous Absorption
10 hours post-dose

Net phosphorous absorption (Lanthanum carbonate period) = phosphorous ingested in meal minus (Rectal effluent phosphorous after Lanthanum carbonate + meal minus Rectal effluent phosphorous after fasting). Net phosphorous absorption (Sevelamer Carbonate period) = Phosphorous ingested in meal minus (Rectal effluent phosphorous after Sevelamer carbonate + meal minus Rectal effluent phosphorous after fasting). Net phosphorous absorption (Meal only period) = Phosphorous ingested in meal minus (Rectal effluent phosphorous after meal only minus Rectal effluent phosphorous after fasting).

Frequently asked questions about Lanthanum Carbonate

What is Lanthanum Carbonate used for?

Lanthanum Carbonate is used to treat hyperphosphatemia, or elevated serum phosphorus, in people with chronic kidney disease, including kidney failure and dialysis patients. Clinical trials have studied it in adults with stage 3 and 4 CKD and in children and adolescents with CKD on dialysis.

Who makes Lanthanum Carbonate?

Lanthanum Carbonate is developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. Takeda is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating the drug in chronic kidney disease and related kidney conditions.

What phase is Lanthanum Carbonate in?

Lanthanum Carbonate is in Phase 2 clinical development. Five trials have been completed, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, with no active trials currently listed. The completed studies enrolled a total of 1,088 participants.

What clinical trials is Lanthanum Carbonate in?

Lanthanum Carbonate has been studied in completed trials including NCT01696279 in hyperphosphatemic children and adolescents with CKD on dialysis, NCT01128179 on FGF-23 effects in stage 3 CKD, NCT00875017 comparing phosphorus absorption in healthy volunteers, and NCT00234702 in stage 3 and 4 CKD.
