Participant Flow

This was a two-period cross over study to compare the effect of Daprodustat to recombinant, human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on oral iron absorption.

A total of 15 participants were randomized in the study. The safety population consisted of 14 participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment.

Measure
Daprodustat Followed by rhEPO
Participants were randomly assigned to receive Daprodustat in Treatment Period 1. For assessment of incorporation of iron into erythrocytes, participants were administered ferrous sulfate containing a stable isotope of iron (57Fe or 58Fe) in a randomized fashion following 2 weeks of administration of study treatment. At Day 29 participants were crossed over to receive rhEPO (either epoetin alfa or darbepoetin alfa) in Treatment Period 2. At 2 weeks following initiation of dosing in Treatment Period 2, participants were again administered ferrous sulfate containing the stable iron isotope (58Fe or 57Fe). Participants were advised to maintain use of oral iron supplementation (except ferric citrate) and acid-reducing agents (example: H2 receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, antacids) at a consistent dosage and frequency. There was no washout period between Treatment Period 1 and Treatment Period 2.

Blood samples were collected from participants for measurement of transferrin saturation at indicated time points. Transferrin saturation was measured as a percentage and is the ratio of serum iron and total iron-binding capacity multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits in the associated treatment period. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.

Population: Evaluable Population that included all randomized participants who received study medication and completed the iron absorption assessment for both treatment periods. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed.

Blood samples were collected from participants for measurement of hematocrit at indicated time points. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits in the associated treatment period. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.
