Summary

This is a Phase IV, randomized, active-controlled, open-label, parallel design, multicenter prospective study to evaluate the effect of roxadustat versus rHuEPO treatment on the gastrointestinal (GI) iron absorption in patients with anemia of Stage 4 and Stage 5 CKD.

Detailed description

This is an open-label study, after eligibility confirmation patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either roxadustat or rHuEPO arms for 2 weeks. The study will enroll eligible dialysis and non-dialysis patients ≥18 years of age, who have anemia of CKD, and are either dialysis-dependent (DD) and on a stable dose of rHuEPO within 4 weeks prior to screening, or are non-dialysis-dependent (NDD) and are being treated with rHuEPO (ie, on a stable dose of rHuEPO within 4 weeks prior to screening), or are rHuEPO -naïve at the time of screening. Each patient will be contacted before the first Screening Visit (Visit 1) for the symptoms of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) and for any contact with COVID-19 positive person within the past 14 days. For each patient, the duration of participation in the study will be approximately 8 to 9 weeks divided into 3 periods: Screening Period (approximately 2-3 weeks); Treatment Period (2 weeks) and Post-Treatment Follow-up Period (4 weeks).

Conditions

• Anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Roxadustat	The starting dose of roxadustat will be in accordance with the China package insert, and will depend on the body weight of the patient: 100 mg (45 to \< 60 kg) or 120 mg (≥ 60 kg) in patients on dialysis; 70 mg (40 to \< 60 kg) or 100 mg (≥ 60 kg) in non-dialysis patients.
DRUG	rHuEPO	The starting dose of rHuEPO will be in accordance to the dosage approved in rHuEPO China package insert (patients on weekly dose of 6000 IU \[dosing will BIW\], and patients on weekly dose of \>6000 IU \[dosing will TIW\]) and on patient's haemoglobin levels.
