Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of roxadustat in participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) therapy, previously treated with intravenous (IV) epoetin alfa.

Detailed description

Dose ranging study with consecutive cohorts in two participant populations: participants normally responding to current anemia treatment (epoetin alfa) (normoresponders: participants with baseline epoetin alfa dose at study entry 75 to 450 international units \[IU\]/kilograms \[kg\]/week) and participants not responding well to current treatment (hyporesponders: participants with maintenance epoetin alfa dose above 450 IU/kg/week). Normoresponders are randomized to study drug roxadustat or epoetin alfa at a ratio of 3:1; hyporesponders are randomized to study drug roxadustat or epoetin alfa or placebo at a ratio of 2:1:1. The study objectives are to demonstrate that roxadustat is effective in maintaining hemoglobin (Hb) levels when converting from epoetin alfa and to establish optimum starting doses and dose adjustment regimens for Hb maintenance.

Pre-assignment details

Normoresponder participants were enrolled sequentially in 10 cohorts (A-1 to A-10) with the exception of Cohort A-5 in parallel enrollment with A-6 to A-8. Hyporesponder participants were enrolled in 2 cohorts (B-1 and B-2). Normoresponder participants were those with stable baseline epoetin alfa doses between 75 and 450 international units (IU)/kilogram (kg)/week, while hyporeponders required maintenance epoetin alfa dose above 450 IU/kg/week.

Number of Participants With a Mean Hb Above 11 g/dL When the Mean Hb Values at Weeks 17, 18, 19, and 20 Were Averaged, Among Participants Treated for 19 Weeks

The average of the mean Hb values that were above 11 g/dL at Weeks 17, 18, 19, and 20 are presented. LOCF method was used to impute missing values.

Time frame: Weeks 17, 18, 19, and 20

Population: EE population for 19 weeks treatment included all participants randomized designated to receive 19 weeks of study medication and had received study treatment for at least 4 weeks with corresponding Hb measurements not resulted from any rescue therapies including inadvertent use of rescue medication (ESA, IV Iron or RBC transfusion), or who permanently discontinued study medication during the dosing period due to lack of efficacy.

Population: EE population included participants who received treatment for at least 4 weeks with corresponding Hb measurements not resulted from any rescue therapies including inadvertent use of rescue medication (ESA, IV Iron or RBC transfusion) or who permanently discontinued study drug during dosing period due to lack of efficacy.

Number of Participants With Week 7 Hb ≥ Baseline Hb - 0.5 g/dL, Among Normoresponder Participants Treated for 6 Weeks Only

Baseline was defined as the mean of the last 3 Hb values obtained prior to the first dose of study treatment, including Day 1 predose. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing values.

Time frame: Week 7

Population: EE population included participants who received treatment for at least 4 weeks with corresponding Hb measurements not resulted from any rescue therapies including inadvertent use of rescue medication (erythropoiesis-stimulating agent \[ESA\], IV Iron or red blood cell \[RBC\] transfusion) or who permanently discontinued study drug during dosing period due to lack of efficacy. Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' signifies normoresponder participants who were treated for 6 weeks only.

Number of Participants Treated for 6 Weeks Only Whose Hb Levels at Week 7 Were Greater Than Their Baseline Level

Baseline was defined as the mean of the last 3 Hb values obtained prior to the first dose of study treatment, including Day 1 predose. LOCF method was used to impute missing values. Because of the small number of hyporesponders enrolled into this study, data for this secondary efficacy analysis as planned per protocol was not collected and summarized for hyporesponder participants.

Time frame: Week 7

Population: EE population included participants who received treatment for at least 4 weeks with corresponding Hb measurements not resulted from any rescue therapies including inadvertent use of rescue medication (ESA, IV Iron or RBC transfusion) or who permanently discontinued study drug during dosing period due to lack of efficacy. Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' signifies participants who were treated for 6 weeks only.

Rate of Change in Hb Levels, Measured by Regression Slopes of the Hb Values During Treatment up to Week 6

The rate of rise was computed as the slope of the regression line of change in Hb level (in g/dL) vs. time (in weeks) using Random Coefficient Model. Because of the small number of hyporesponders enrolled into this study, data for this secondary efficacy analysis as planned per protocol was not collected and summarized for hyporesponder participants.

Time frame: Baseline up to Week 6

Population: EE included participants who received treatment for at least 4 weeks with corresponding Hb measurements not resulted from any rescue therapies including inadvertent use of rescue medication (ESA, IV Iron or RBC transfusion) or who permanently discontinued study drug during dosing period due to lack of efficacy. Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' signifies participants who were treated for 6 weeks only.
