Bixalomer (development code: ASP15 and brand name Kiklin) is a metal-free, nonabsorbable is approved in Japan to treat hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients. Hyperphosphatemia occurs in patients whose renal function is decreased, since phosphorus is not sufficiently excreted into urine via the kidneys and consequently accumulates in the body. Bixalomer is amine-functional polymers which decrease the serum phosphorus concentration by binding to phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, thus inhibiting absorption of phosphate into the human body.
