Long Term Evaluation of Sevelamer HCl vs. Calcium-based Phosphate Binder in the Treatment of Hyperphosphatemia in Hemodialysis Patients

August 4, 2014 updated by: Chugai Pharma Taiwan
The study is designed to compare sevelamer vs. calcium-based phosphate binder in hemodialysis patients to achieve full-scale of medical care, including reduction of atherosclerotic risk factors, reduction of vascular access reconstruction rate, and pharmacoeconomic analysis.
