NCT ID: NCT04134026

Last Updated: 2021-05-25

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Clinical Phase: PHASE4
• Total Enrollment: 400 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2022-10-20
• Study Completion Date: 2024-10-19

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determin whether HIF-PHI is safe and effective in the treatment of anemia and meanwhile reduces the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients who have just initiated dialysis.

Detailed Description

There is a screening period of up to 2 weeks, a treatment period of a minimum of 52 weeks and a maximum of approximately up to 3 years after last patient is randomized. A total of up to 400 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either open-lable HIF-PHI or Active Control (Epoetin alfa).
