Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study is a dose finding study to assess the efficacy of increasing doses of colestipol hydrochloride in patients on haemodialysis. After a successful screening procedure, eligible patients undergo a 2 week washout period when all current phosphate binding medications are stopped. After this washout period all patients with a serum phosphate that reaches 1.7 mmol/L or greater will be started on orally administered colestipol treatment. The starting dose of colestipol will vary depending on the phosphate level at the end of the washout period. Those with a phosphate level of 2.5mmol/L or higher will start on two, 1 gram tablets three times a day. Those with a phosphate level below 2.5 will start on one, 1 gram tablet three times a day. This dose will be up-titrated at two week intervals for patients who fail to achieve a target phosphate of less than 1.7mmol/L. Each increment in dose will be of one 1g tablet three times a day. The treatment period will last for 8 weeks, with three potential up-titrations, and a maximum dose of 4g three times a day. After completion of the treatment period, patients will undergo a second 2 week washout period to see if any changes in phosphate level revert to first to pre-treatment levels.
Compliance is to be monitored by returned pill counts and weekly visits and managed with protocol deviation logs.
