This non-interventional, Phase IV, exploratory, cross-over, randomised, single-blind, active comparator-controlled study has been designed to measure the palatability and preference of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (hereafter referred to as Lokelma®) versus calcium patiromer sorbitex (hereafter referred to as Veltassa®) versus sodium polystyrene sulphonate (SPS) or calcium polystyrene sulphonate (CPS) (hereafter referred to as S/CPS) in patients with dialysis and non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hyperkalaemia (HK). The sponsor hypothesizes that palatability, in terms of taste, texture, smell, and mouthfeel, will score higher (better) for Lokelma when compared with Veltassa and S/CPS. Each objective will be analysed per country. In addition, the difference in results per regions and overall may be explored.
