Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary Efficacy Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of roxadustat compared to placebo for the treatment of anemia in CKD subjects not on dialysis. Primary Safety Objective: Contribute CV safety data to pooled Safety analyses across the phase 3 program ; Secondary Objective: Secondary Efficacy Objectives: - The efficacy of roxadustat compared to placebo based on Hb response and level during the study - The efficacy of roxadustat compared to placebo based on Hb response in inflamed subjects - The effect of roxadustat compared to placebo on Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol - The need for rescue therapy in subjects treated with roxadustat as compared to placebo - The effect of roxadustat on anemia symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) based on comparison with placebo - The effect on the CKD Progression of roxadustat as compared to placebo Secondary Safety Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of roxadustat. ; Primary end point(s): Primary Efficacy Endpoint: US FDA: The primary efficacy endpoint for the US is the mean Change from baseline in Hb averaged over week 28 to week 52. EU health authorities: The primary efficacy endpoint is whether patients achieved Hb Response (Yes/No) where Yes is defined as: o Hb = 11.0 g/dL and Hb increase from baseline by = 1.0 g/dL, for subjects with baseline Hb > 8.0 g/dL; or o Hb increase from baseline by = 2.0 g/dL, for subjects with baseline Hb = 8.0 g/dL at two consecutive visits [dates] (with available data) separated at least 5 days during the first 24 weeks of treatment without having received rescue therapy (RBC transfusion, ESA, or IV iron) prior to Hb response. Prima

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: 1) Hb response as noted for EU Primary Endpoint. 2) Mean change in Hb from baseline to the subjects mean level between week 28 to week 52 in subjects with baseline high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) greater than the Upper Limit Normal (ULN) 3) Proportion of total time of Hb = 10 g/dL from week 28 to week 52. 4) Proportion of total time of Hb within the interval of 10-12 g/dL from week 28 to week 52 5) Mean change in LDL cholesterol from baseline to week 24 6) Time-to-first (and proportion of subjects receiving) instance of receiving intravenous (IV) iron, red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, or erythropoietin analogue as rescue therapy. 7) Time-to-first (and proportion of subjects receiving) instance of receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions as rescue therapy. 8) Change from baseline in SF-36 Vitality (VT) sub-score 9) Annual rate of eGFR change in log scale, calculated as the linear slope of log (eGFR values) to prior to initiation of dialysis/kidney transplant 10) Change from baseline in SF-36 Physical Functioning (PF) sub-score Secondary Safety Endpoints: Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs). Changes in vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) and laboratory values. ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Efficacy Endpoints: 1) From randomization to week 24 2) From week 28 to week 52 3) From week 28 to week 52 4) From week 28 to week 52 5) From randomization to week 24 6) From the first date of study drug (SD) intake to EOS for subjects without SD discontinuation (SDD) or to the last date plus 28 days of SD intake for SDD subjects
