What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in serum potassium; Part A
Time Frame: 1 week
To evaluate the change of serum potassium from baseline to the end of treatment with different doses of RDX013 to identify the optimal dose for further evaluation in Part B of the study.
1 week
Change in serum potassium; Part B
Time Frame: 4 weeks
To evaluate the difference between RDX013 and placebo in the change of serum potassium from baseline to the end of treatment.
4 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Exporatory Objective; time to serum potassium normalization
Time Frame: 4 weeks
To evaluate the time to initial normalization of serum potassium level (≥3.5 to ≤5.0 mmol/L) during the initial 24 hours of treatment.
4 weeks
