Linear model for the relationship of % change from baseline in coronary artery calcium (CAC) volume at week 52 versus average PD effect (%). Patients undergoing hemodialysis (N = 55) received placebo or SNF472 at doses of 300 or 600 mg/kg during dialysis, thrice weekly, for 52 weeks. Plasma crystallization inhibition was measured at the end of the infusion at weeks 1, 10, 22 and 52, and the average % inhibition of calcium phosphate crystallization found in these 4 sampling times was calculated and used in the model, as a read-out for the entire treatment of 52 weeks.
