Hyperphosphatemic Familial Tumoral Calcinosis With a Large Hip Mass

Article

Author: Ali, Issa ; Carlan, Steve ; Galili, Yehuda ; Bernardes, Teresa

Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that generally presents in the first two decades of life with ectopic calcification throughout the body. The underlying metabolic disorder is caused by a mutation in a gene responsible for regulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) activity. Loss of regulation of FGF23 results in hyperphosphatemia resulting in the characteristic tissue calcinosis deposits, especially in periarticular locations. The diagnosis is made with imaging, hyperphosphatemia, and genetic testing. Medical and surgical treatments are recommended to reduce blood phosphate and remove the masses. A 35-year-old male presented with a painful left lateral hip mass that had been gradually enlarging over the past four months. X-rays showed amorphous calcific densities in the left hip consistent with tumoral calcinosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) noted a stable complex mass in the left posterior hip and ischio-femoral space consistent with tumoral calcinosis. He had an elevated phosphorus level of 6.0 mg/dL (reference range 2.5 to 4.5 mg/dL). Excision of the mass was successful and genetic testing showed a pathogenic variant in polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (GALNT3), associated with HFTC. He was treated with diet and sevelamer (phosphate binder), and discharged. This case demonstrates that the detection of the disorder can be delayed by the slow progression of clinical symptoms and tumor calcinosis over time. Ultimately, early awareness of the disease and the mechanisms responsible for the tissue damage are important to limit long-term health consequences, which can include calcifications that ulcerate and limit joint motion. As seen in this patient, the condition often requires repeated surgical interventions. Finally, this is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder, so genetic counseling is an important component of comprehensive care.

A Pan-Inhibitor of Phosphate Transporters AP306 in Hemodialysis Patients

Article

Author: Luo, Qun ; Wang, Yu ; Shi, Ming ; Zuo, Li ; Zhang, Ping ; Li, Guisen ; Jiang, Hongli ; Chen, Menghua ; Liu, Yingxue Cathy ; Ma, Kunling ; Zhao, Qing ; Gu, Leyi ; Zhang, Weifeng ; Wang, Li ; Wang, Pei

Introduction:

Hyperphosphatemia in patients undergoing dialysis is not well-controlled. AP306 is a pan-inhibitor of phosphate transporters, designed to block the active uptake of phosphate through the gastrointestinal tract.

Methods:

In this phase 2 randomized, active-controlled, open-label study, hemodialysis patients with serum phosphate between 5.5 and 9.0 mg/dl were randomized to receive either AP306 or sevelamer carbonate for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the change in serum phosphate levels from baseline until the therapy ceased. AP306 was initiated at 75 mg and adjusted stepwise to 125 mg and 150 mg orally thrice daily every 4 weeks, to maintain serum phosphate between 3.5 and 5.5 mg/dl. Sevelamer levels were adjusted using the same criteria and frequency.

Results:

A total of 27 patients were randomized to receive AP306 and 28 to receive sevelamer. At the end-of-treatment, both AP306 and sevelamer resulted in a significant decrease from baseline in serum phosphate by 2.51 mg/dl (95% confidence interval [CI]:-3.07 to -1.92; P < 0.001) and 1.08 mg/dl (95% CI: -1.58 to -0.59), respectively. The proportions of patients achieving the recommended range as per the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines (2.5-4.5 mg/dl) were about 20% higher in AP306 than in sevelamer, starting from treatment week 5. The most reported adverse events (AEs) associated with AP306 were gastrointestinal disorders (51.9%), most of which were mild to moderate diarrhea (44.4%).

Conclusion:

AP306 monotherapy significantly reduced serum phosphate levels and substantially improved the serum phosphate control rate in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. AP306 was safe and well-tolerated.

The effects of resins added to the milk of children suffering from chronic kidney disease: a clinical relevance to control potassium and phosphate levels?

Article

Author: Ranchin, Bruno ; Naud, Corentin ; Bechara, Rouba ; Chambon, Véronique ; de Mul, Aurélie ; Bacchetta, Justine

Background:

In infants with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the management of nutrition and growth is highly challenging, particularly compared to older children. Management of hyperkalemia and hyperphosphatemia is difficult, and incorporating potassium and phosphate binders directly in formulas could be beneficial, as it avoids direct ingestion of resins by infants.

Materials and methods:

We conducted a study using Gallia® standard first-stage infant formula and Pregestimil®. We added either carbonate sevelamer (Renvela®, 200, 400 or 800 mg) or polystyrene sulfonate (Resikali®, 2000, 4000 or 8000 mg) to 90 ml of formula. Additionally, we evaluated the combined use of the resins with Gallia® by adding in 90 mL 200 mg/2000 mg, 400 mg/4000 mg, and 200 mg/4000 mg of Renvela® and Resikali®, respectively. The Milk was decanted for 10 minutes, and the resulting supernatants were weighted and analyzed for osmolality and pH. Sodium, potassium, chlore, bicarbonate, magnesium, glucose, calcium, phosphate, protein, cholesterol, triglycerides, iron, folate, vitamin B12 levels were measured after centrifugation.

Results:

With polystyrene sulfonate, potassium levels in milk decreased in a dose-dependent manner, by 36%, 52% and 68%, respectively. Polystyrene sulfonate also reduced magnesium levels and increased both calcium concentration (from 9.7 to 21 mmol/L) and osmolality (from 359 to 423 mOsm/kg). No significant effect on phosphate was observed. Sevelamer decreased both calcium and phosphate concentrations in a dose-dependent manner, by 14%, 26% and 29%, and by 24%, 36% and 40%, respectively. Sevelamer also increased pH from 6.9 to 9.1, and decreased folate levels by 32%, 66% and 81% respectively, from 465 to 88 mmol/L. The combined use of sevelamer and polystyrene sulfonate results in decreased levels of potassium (by 45%, 59% and 59%, respectively), phosphate (by 38%, 39% and 36%, respectively), and folate, albeit with a slighter increase in pH. Osmolality remained unchanged and no other relevant differences were observed.

Conclusion:

Pretreating formulas with resins is a reproducible and straightforward method when specific diets for CKD are unavailable. However, it is important to keep in mind that resins may impact the overall composition (osmolality) and the concentration of other nutrients (folates).

Alebund Announces Positive Topline Results from Pivotal Phase 3 Study of AP301 for Serum Phosphorus Control in Dialysis Patients with Hyperphosphatemia

SHANGHAI, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Alebund Pharmaceuticals ("Alebund" or the "Company"), an integrated biopharmaceutical company focusing on developing innovative therapies for renal diseases and related chronic conditions, announced the database lock was achieved on June 16, 2025 for the pivotal phase 3 study of its investigational drug AP301, a new generation of oral iron-based phosphate binder, in dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. The trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in serum phosphorus control with AP301. The safety profile of AP301 is favorable and consistent with previous studies. As a novel fiber-iron-based phosphate binder, AP301 provides high phosphate-binding capability, no need to chew before swallow, no volume expansion when exposed to gastric fluid, and no systemic absorption. These properties contribute to a reduced pill burden, good tolerability and improved patient compliance. The pivotal study (NCT07030595, CTR20231624) is a randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multi-center phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AP301 in controlling serum phosphorus levels in dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. The 52-week study contains an active control phase, an AP301 low-dose control phase and an extended treatment phase. Sevelamer carbonate served as the active comparator throughout the whole study period. A total of 474 participants were randomized across 50 investigational sites in China; the study was led by Professor Li ZUO, Director of the Department of Nephrology at Peking University People's Hospital. "We are deeply grateful to all the participants, investigators, and study personnel for their strong commitment and dedication to this phase 3 study over the past 2 years." Dr. Jin Tian, Co-founder and CMO of Alebund commented, "In the completed phase 2 study, AP301 was shown to be safe, well tolerated, and can effectively lower serum phosphorus in a dose-dependent manner [1]. This pivotal trial further demonstrates the clinical value of AP301, which has the potential to advance the treatment option for millions of patients with hyperphosphatemia through further increasing their adherence." Alebund plans to engage with China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) regarding its new drug application plan in the third quarter of 2025. Detailed results from this phase 3 study will be presented at an upcoming medical conference.

The long-term elevated serum phosphorus level could cause multiple complications such as secondary hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy and vascular calcification. It is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortalities. A good control of serum phosphorus level could effectively improve the patients' outcome. For CKD patients undergoing dialysis treatment, the regular dialysis is not sufficient to remove the overload of serum phosphate in the body. Considering the limitations of low-phosphate diet which might cause dystrophia, oral use of phosphate binders is the prevailing treatment for hyperphosphatemia. However, there is low compliance for patients (less than 50% reaching good phosphate control) to use PBs due to gastrointestinal side effects, high pill burden etc. According to Global and Chinese Hyperphosphatemia Drug Industry Blue Book by China Insights Consultancy in 2023, the out of target rate of serum phosphorus level in dialysis patients in Chinese mainland was significantly higher than other countries and regions. There is still room for improvement in terms of the proportion and duration of phosphorus binders usage. The market size of serum phosphorus lowering products in China is expected to reach 10 billion RMB by 2035. About Alebund Pharmaceuticals Alebund was incubated in Shanghai in 2018. It focuses on the discovery, development, production and commercialization of novel therapies primarily for kidney diseases and their complications, as well as other chronic conditions, to bring greater therapeutic options to patients in China and globally. Alebund has built a diversified and balanced pipeline of drug candidates targeting a range of renal indications, including chronic kidney disease (CKD)/dialysis complications, IgA nephropathy, diabetic kidney disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

Sales to Sanofi decreased by 15.0% due to strong volume decrease, notably in Sevelamer, produced in Haverhill, and the suspension of production in Brindisi. H1 net sales include €29 million related to the revision of the historical MSA contractual clauses agreed with Sanofi in February 20242, primarily Buserelin’s3 stock clearance. Sales to Other Clients decreased by 0.7%, impacted by the temporary suspension of API production in Brindisi. Excluding Brindisi’s site, net sales would have grown 3.4%, driven by the cross-selling strategy (representing 9.1% of H1 API Solutions sales to Other Clients) and an increased customer base (22 new clients added in H1). CDMO CDMO sales decreased by 13.3% to €116.4 million. Sales to Sanofi decreased by 14.2% on the back of a strong H1 2023 performance, which was boosted by stock replenishment of Pristinamycin, an anti-infective produced exclusively for Sanofi in Elbeuf. H1 2024 sales benefited from the ramp-up of a commercial phase contract in Large Molecules.Sales to Other Clients decreased by 12.7% due to the temporary suspension of production in Brindisi, which affected a commercial phase contract. H1 2024 performance was also penalized by the downsizing of two large historical commercial phase contracts (approximately -10 M€), which more than offset the increase in revenue from new contracts. Excluding the impact of Brindisi, total CDMO sales to clients other than Sanofi would have grown by 1.8%, with increased revenues from early-stage projects.
