Table 3.

The removal rate by dialysis of unchanged upacicalcet and hemodialysis clearance after single and multiple doses of upacicalcet

A is the removal rate by dialysis of unchanged upacicalcet and hemodialysis clearance after single dose of upacicalcet
Step Group N Removal rate by dialysis of unchanged upacicalcet (%) Hemodialysis clearance (mL/min)
Step 1 0.025 mg 4 100.00 ± 0.00
Step 2 0.05 mg 4 94.53 ± 10.95
Step 3 0.1 mg 4 81.00 ± 14.05 61.40 ± 60.25*
Step 4 0.2 mg 4 78.40 ± 4.47 168.25 ± 2.50
Step 5 0.4 mg 4 80.40 ± 7.34 125.83 ± 39.55**
Step 6 0.6 mg 4 81.35 ± 3.76 183.00 ± 9.90*
Step 7 0.8 mg 5 83.66 ± 13.37 156.00 ± 12.25***
B is the removal rate by dialysis of unchanged upacicalcet after multiple dose of upacicalcet
Step Group N Removal rate by dialysis of unchanged upacicalcet (%)
Step 1 0.05 mg 3 79.27 ± 3.39
Step 2 0.1 mg 6 80.68 ± 7.68
Step 3 0.2 mg 4 86.98 ± 4.97

The removal rate by dialysis of unchanged upacicalcet in plasma was calculated from the following equation. Removal rate by dialysis (%) = (CBD – CAD)/CBD×100

Hemodialysis clearance was calculated from the following equation. CL (mL/min f0) = (CBI − CBO)/CBI × 200*

AD after dialysis, BD before dialysis, C concentration, BI blood in, BO blood out, C concentration

*Blood flow

Only removal rate by dialysis of unchanged upacicalcet was calculated in multiple-dose study.
