Brief summary: To evaluate the efficacy of KHK7791 by comparing changes in serum phosphorus levels from baseline values between hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia receiving repeated administration of KHK7791 for 8 weeks and those receiving placebo.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Has voluntarily provided written informed consent to participate in the study.
2. Aged ≥ 20 years (expressed in completed years) at the time of providing informed consent.
3. Stable chronic renal failure patients who have undergone hemodialysis 3 times per week for at least 12 weeks until screening examination.
4. Dialysis conditions (dialysate, dialyzer, frequency of dialysis per week, dialysis duration, blood flow rate, and dialysate and substitution fluid flow rates), excluding dry weight, should have been unchanged during the last 2 weeks before screening examination.
5. The prescribed drug and dosage regimen should have been unchanged during the last 4 weeks before screening examination.
6. Serum phosphorus levels should be in the range of ≥ 3.5 and ≤ 6.0 mg/dL at screening examination.
7. If on any vitamin D, calcimimetics regimen, bisphosphonate, calcitonin preparations, selective estrogen receptor modulators or teriparatide preparations then the prescribed drug and dosage regimen should have been unchanged for the last 4 weeks before screening examination.
8. Kt/V urea ≥ 1.2 at the most recent test in routine medical practice before screening examination.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Peritoneal dialysis was performed within 12 weeks before screening examination.
2. iPTH \>600 pg/mL (should be based on the most recent value from the patients' medical records, etc. before pre-enrollment)
3. Having concurrent or a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome
4. History of gastrectomy or enterectomy or having undergone gastrointestinal tract surgery within 3 months before screening examination.
5. Subjects who used anti RANKL preparations within 6 weeks before screening examination.
6. Subjects who used anti-sclerostin antibody preparations within 12 weeks before screening examination.
7. Having concurrent severe heart disease or hepatic impairment.
8. Developed cerebrovascular disease or cardiovascular disease requiring hospitalization within 6 months before screening examination.
9. Uncontrollable hypertension or diabetes.
10. Scheduled for living donor kidney transplant, change in the mode of dialysis, home hemodialysis, or change in the dialysis center during the study period.
11. Any diagnosis of and treatment of malignancy within 5 years before screening examination.
