Protocol summary

Study aim
Synthesis of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC-9) drug by different methods and its in vitro comparison with the brand sample available in the market (Lokelma).
Design
A clinical trial with 2 parallel intervention groups and no control group, double-blind, phase 2, on 48 patients and randomized by using the website QuickCalcs.
Settings and conduct
This study will be conducted on two series of patient volunteers. The first group will receive a sample sachet (test) and the second group will receive a brand sachet. Blood samples are taken by the clinical supervisor immediately after taking the drug, and the sample preparation steps are performed on them to analyze the amount of analyte. This study will be conducted in Imam Reza Hospital, Tabriz.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients volunteers with hyperkalaemia, both sexes, ages ranged from 22 to 75 years, para-clinical health based on the tests performed, and no history of diseases affecting the digestive system.
Intervention groups
The intervention group received single-dose SZC-9 sachet formulated in this study and the control group received single-dose brand tablets (Lokelma®) manufactured by the company (AstraZeneca).
Main outcome variables
Level of blood potassium concentration

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Web-based randomization is used by using the website http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/index.cfm Candidates will be given codes 1 to 48 in the order of entering the study, so that when the selection of candidates begins, the first person who enters the study will have code 1 and the last candidate who enters the study will have code 48. Then the following steps will be done on the site: Random numbers>>>Randomly assign subjects to groups>>>Randomly choose a group for each subject. And finally, two groups A and B will be randomly composed of 24 volunteers each.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, the volunteers participating in the study and the clinical supervisor are blinded to the type of product consumed at each time of the study (test or reference product). That is, the product outside the original packaging will be given to the volunteer by the researcher for consumption
