Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Roxadustat Conversion in Participants Receiving Stable ESA or as Initial Anemia Treatment in Hemodialysis Participants (NCT NCT04484857)

NCT ID: NCT04484857

Last Updated: 2022-07-26

Results Overview

Percentage of participants with mean Hb value ≥10 g/dL, averaged from Week 16 through Week 24 has been reported. Baseline Hb was defined as the mean of available central laboratory Hb values prior to first dose of study medication including the predose Hb value collected on Day 1. 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated based on the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

Roxadustat
Participants received roxadustat as an oral tablet, 3 times per week (TIW) for up to a maximum of 24 weeks. If a participant required roxadustat \<60 milligrams (mg)/week to maintain hemoglobin (Hb) levels, the dose frequency was reduced in a stepwise manner, for example, to twice weekly (BIW), and then once weekly (QW). For participants converted from an erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA), the initial roxadustat dose was based on the average prescribed ESA dose in the last 4 weeks (for epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa) or 8 weeks (for methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta \[Mircera®\]). For participants with \<6 weeks of prior ESA use, the initial roxadustat dose was based on a 2-tiered, weight-based dosing scheme. Dose adjustment evaluations were made every 4 weeks and doses were titrated based on Hb level and rate of Hb change. The prescribed dose did not exceed the maximum allowable dose of 3.0 mg/kilogram (kg)/dose or 400 mg per dose, whichever was lower.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 16 through Week 24

Population: The full analysis set included all enrolled participants who provided baseline Hb data and data for at least 1 postbaseline Hb time point.

Percentage of participants with mean Hb value ≥10 g/dL, averaged from Week 16 through Week 24 has been reported. Baseline Hb was defined as the mean of available central laboratory Hb values prior to first dose of study medication including the predose Hb value collected on Day 1. 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated based on the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

Measure
Roxadustat
n=283 participants at risk
Participants received roxadustat as an oral tablet, TIW for up to a maximum of 24 weeks. If a participant required roxadustat \<60 mg/week to maintain Hb levels, the dose frequency was reduced in a stepwise manner, for example, to BIW, and then QW. For participants converted from an ESA, the initial roxadustat dose was based on the average prescribed ESA dose in the last 4 weeks (for epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa) or 8 weeks (for Mircera®). For participants with \<6 weeks of prior ESA use, the initial roxadustat dose was based on a 2-tiered, weight-based dosing scheme. Dose adjustment evaluations were made every 4 weeks and doses were titrated based on Hb level and rate of Hb change. The prescribed dose did not exceed the maximum allowable dose of 3.0 mg/kg/dose or 400 mg per dose, whichever was lower.
