A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Roxadustat for the Treatment of Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Not on Dialysis
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Roxadustat and Placebo for Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease in Non-dialysis Patients. Completed, enrolled 594 participants across 138 sites in 22 countries.
Detailed Summary
This study was conducted to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Anemia is a reduced number of red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is important for the transport of oxygen in your blood. The purpose of the study was to see if Roxadustat is both effective and safe as a treatment for anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Timeline
Interventions
Roxadustat was administered initially according to the tiered weight-based dosing, where participants with weight from ≥ 45 to ≤ 70 kg received 70 mg and participants with \> 70 to ≤ 160 kg received 100 mg of roxadustat. Dose-titration based upon regular measurement of Hb levels was performed until participants achieved central Hb value of ≥ 11.0 g/dL and Hb increase from baseline (BL) of ≥ 1.0 g/dL at two consecutive study visits, separated by at least 5 days. Once target Hb level was reached participants entered maintenance period during which roxadustat dosage was adjusted every 4 weeks to maintain participants Hb level within the target range of 10.0 g/dL and 12.0 g/dL.
