AFX01-12: A Phase 3, Randomized, Active-controlled, Open-label, Multi-center Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Peginesatide for the Maintenance Treatment of Anemia in Hemodialysis Patients Previously Treated With Epoetin Alfa
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating peginesatide and Epoetin Alfa for Chronic Renal Failure and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 803 participants across 89 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of peginesatide in the maintenance treatment of anemia in participants on dialysis.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants received peginesatide by intravenous injection once every 4 weeks. The starting dose was based on the participant's total weekly epoetin alfa dose during the last week of the Screening Period; the first dose was administered one week after the last epoetin alfa dose. The dose was adjusted to maintain hemoglobin levels in a target range of 10.0-12.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL) and ± 1.5 g/dL from baseline during the Titration and Evaluation Periods, and 10.0-12.0 g/dL during the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy Period.
Participants continued to receive commercially available epoetin alfa by intravenous injection, at the same starting dose and frequency as received during the last week of the Screening Period, with the first study dose of epoetin alfa administered after randomization at Week 0. The dose was adjusted to maintain hemoglobin levels in a target range of 10.0-12.0 g/dL and ± 1.5 g/dL from baseline during the Titration and Evaluation Periods, and 10.0-12.0 g/dL during the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy Period.
