Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Roxadustat (FG-4592) to Correct Anemia in Newly Initiated Dialysis Participants Not on Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agent Treatment (NCT NCT01414075)

NCT ID: NCT01414075

Last Updated: 2021-10-01

Results Overview

Baseline Hb was defined as the mean of the last 3 central laboratory Hb values prior to the first dose administration. This outcome measure is derived from the maximum change from baseline during Weeks 3-13, without last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation.

Participant Flow

Participants on hemodialysis (HD) were randomized to one of the 3 arms A, B, or C in 1:1:1 ratio to receive roxadustat with either no, per oral (PO), or intravenous (IV) iron supplementation, respectively. Participants on peritoneal dialysis (PD) were enrolled into Arm D and received roxadustat with PO iron supplementation.

Arm E was an optional, confirmatory/supplemental arm with flexible dosing and flexible iron supplementation based on the evaluation of data from the previous 4 arms. After enrollment of Arms A through C was completed, Arm E was decided to be identical to Arm A, for example, roxadustat with no iron supplementation and with the same tiered weight-based initial dosing. Hence, the data of Arms A and E were reported in a single arm.

Participants on HD received roxadustat capsules at the applicable dose (up to a maximum roxadustat dose of 140, 200, and 300 mg) based on weight and Hb level, administered orally TIW with iron PO (ferrous fumarate or ferrous gluconate) at doses containing elemental iron between 50 and 195 mg daily (depending on the type of iron formulation available in their countries) for 12 weeks.
Arm C (Participants on HD): IV Iron (Ferric Gluconate Complex in Sucrose or Equivalent) 60 mg
Participants on HD received roxadustat capsules at the applicable dose (up to a maximum roxadustat dose of 140, 200, and 300 mg) based on weight and Hb level, administered orally TIW with approximately 60 mg IV iron (ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection \[for example, Ferrlecit®\] or equivalent) once a week for 12 weeks.
Arm D (Participants on PD): PO Iron (Ferrous Fumarate or Ferrous Gluconate) Between 50 and 195 mg
Participants on PD received roxadustat capsules at the applicable dose (up to a maximum roxadustat dose of 140, 200, and 300 mg) based on weight and Hb level, administered orally TIW with iron (ferrous fumarate or ferrous gluconate) PO at doses containing elemental iron between 50 and 195 mg daily (depending on the type of iron formulation available in their countries) for 12 weeks.

Population: EE population included participants who received study treatment for 6 weeks or longer and had valid corresponding Hb measurements. LOCF method was used to impute missing values.

The SF-36 V2 consists of 36 questions covering 8 health domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical problems, role limitations due to emotional problems, general health perceptions, mental health, social function, and vitality. The physical functioning subscore and vitality subscore are reported. The scores ranged from 0 (worst) to 100 (Best). Higher score indicated a better health state. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value prior to the first dose administration.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 9 and 13

Population: EE population included participants who received study treatment for 6 weeks or longer and had valid corresponding Hb measurements. LOCF method was used to impute missing values.

FACT-An is composed of 27 core items which assess participant's function in 4 domains and 20 anemia-related items, grouped into 5 subscales as follows: Physical well-being (PWB): 7 items; Social/family well-being (SWB): 7 items; Emotional well-being (EWB): 6 items; Functional well-being (FWB): 7 items; and Anemia: 20 items. All FACT-An items were rated as: 0=not at all; 1=a little bit; 2=somewhat; 3=quite a bit; 4=very much. Each subscale score was the sum of scores for the items in the subscale. The FACT-An total score was the sum of all 5 subscale scores, ranging from 0 (worst) - 188 (best). Higher scores represented better quality of life. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value prior to the first dose administration.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical event in a participant who received study drug whether or not the event is considered drug related. TEAEs were defined as any event that either began or worsened after the first administration of study drug and within 28 days of the last dose. A summary of other nonserious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.
