Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary efficacy endpoint will be the change from the baseline haemoglobin level during the evaluation periodTimepoint: Time point:-42 Days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Change in reticulocyte count, over time for 21 days across various treatment groups 2. Pharmacokinetic evaluation a. Peak serum concentration (Cmax) b. Time to reach peak serum concentration (Tmax) c. Area under serum concentration vs. time curve till the last time point (AUC0-t) d. Area under serum concentration vs. time curve extrapolated to the infinity (AUC0- ) e. The residual area in percentage (AUC_% Extrap) f. Serum elimination half-life (t1/2) g. Elimination rate constant ( z)Timepoint: 1. Time point:-Day 21 across various treatment group. 2.predose and 1.00, 2.00, 4.00, 8.00 (optional), 12.00 (optional), 24.00 (optional), 48.00 (optional), 72.00, 144.00 (optional), 216.00 (optional), 288.00, 360.00, 504.00, 672.00, 840.00 and 1008.00 hours following dose of drug administration .
