Brief summary

This study was conducted to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Anemia is a reduced number of red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is important for the transport of oxygen in your blood. The purpose of the study was to see if Roxadustat is both effective and safe as a treatment for anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Detailed description

The study consisted of three study periods as follows: * Screening period: up to 6 weeks * Treatment period: minimum 52 weeks (primary treatment period) up to a maximum of 104 weeks (extended treatment period) * Post-Treatment Follow-Up period: 4 weeks

Interventions

DRUGRoxadustat

Roxadustat was administered initially according to the tiered weight-based dosing, where participants with weight from ≥ 45 to ≤ 70 kg received 70 mg and participants with \> 70 to ≤ 160 kg received 100 mg of roxadustat. Dose-titration based upon regular measurement of Hb levels was performed until participants achieved central Hb value of ≥ 11.0 g/dL and Hb increase from baseline (BL) of ≥ 1.0 g/dL at two consecutive study visits, separated by at least 5 days. Once target Hb level was reached participants entered maintenance period during which roxadustat dosage was adjusted every 4 weeks to maintain participants Hb level within the target range of 10.0 g/dL and 12.0 g/dL.

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo was administered initially according to the tiered weight-based dosing, where participants with weight from ≥ 45 to ≤ 70 kg received 70 mg and participants with \> 70 to ≤ 160 kg received 100 mg of roxadustat. Dose-titration based upon regular measurement of Hb levels was performed until participants achieved central Hb value of ≥ 11.0 g/dL and Hb increase from baseline (BL) of ≥ 1.0 g/dL at two consecutive study visits, separated by at least 5 days. Once target Hb level was reached participants entered maintenance period during which roxadustat dosage was adjusted every 4 weeks to maintain participants Hb level within the target range of 10.0 g/dL and 12.0 g/dL.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With a Hemoglobin (Hb) Response to Treatment at Two Consecutive Visits During the First 24 Weeks of Treatment Without Rescue Therapy Prior to Hb ResponseBaseline to week 24Hemoglobin (Hb) response was measured as Yes or No. Response Yes (responders) was defined as: Hb ≥11.0 g/dL and Hb increase from baseline by ≥ 1.0 g/dL, for participants with baseline Hb \> 8.0 g/dL; or Hb increase from baseline by ≥ 2.0 g/dL, for participants with baseline Hb ≤ 8.0 g/dL at two consecutive visits with available data separated at least 5 days during the first 24 weeks of treatment without having received rescue therapy (red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA), or intravenous (IV) iron prior to Hb response. This was the primary efficacy endpoint for EU (EMA).
Hb Change From Baseline (BL) to the Average Hb in Weeks 28-52 Regardless of Rescue TherapyBaseline and weeks 28 to 52The change from baseline to the average Hb values across weeks 28 to 52 without having received rescue therapy. The Hb values from visit windows at weeks 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 and 52 were used for the calculation of the average of weeks 28 to 52. This was the primary efficacy endpoint for US (FDA).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to First Use of Rescue Therapy (Composite of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusions, Erythropoiesis-stimulating Agent (ESA) Use, and Intravenous (IV) Iron)Baseline to week 104 (End of Treatment [EOT])The time to first use of rescue therapy was calculated (in years) as: (First event date - Analysis date of first dose intake + 1) / 365.25. The First event date was defined as Date of first dose of rescue medication during the efficacy emergent period and Analysis date of first dose intake was defined as date of first study drug dose intake collected on day 1. The Efficacy Emergent Period was defined as the evaluation period from the analysis date of first dose intake up to 7 days after the analysis date of last dose or the end of treatment (EOT) visit, whichever occurred first. Data reported was analysed by Kaplan-Meier estimate for cumulative proportion. Medication onset date was the date of the first use of rescue medication.

The multi-purpose, short-form health survey has 36 questions with an 8-scale profile of functional health and well-being scores as well as psychometrically-based physical and mental health summary measures. Change from baseline in PF sub score of SF-36 to the average of weeks 12-28 was compared by treatment arm for all participants (primary analysis) and in the subsets of participants with baseline PF sub score below 35 and equal or above 35. The SF-36 scores ranged from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better health status. All available SF-36 PF values were used i.e., both scheduled and unscheduled for the calculation of the average PF sub-score of weeks 12 to 28.

The EQ-5D 5L descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, extreme problems. The VAS records the respondent's self-rated health status on a graduated (0-100) scale, where the answers are labeled 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state' with higher scores for higher HRQoL.
Change From BL to the Average Value of Weeks 12-28 in Overall Work Impairment Due to Anaemic SymptomsBaseline and weeks 12 to 28Work productivity and activity impairment: anemic symptoms (WPAI:ANS) questionnaire version 2 was used to measure work and activity impairment during the last seven days due to anemia. It is self-assessed questionnaire which consists of 6 questions covering work and daily activities. Questions include asking if participant is working, how many hours the person missed work due to anemic symptoms, how many hours the person missed work due to other reasons, how many hours participant actually worked and how the anemic symptoms impacted their productivity and ability to do daily activities. For the last 2 questions, they were scored from 0-10 with 0 identifying no effect on work and 10 completely prevented from working. Overall work impairment due to ANS was calculated as 100 x Q2/(Q2+Q4)+\[(1-Q2/(Q2+Q4))x(Q5/10)\]. Scores were calculated with the formula to derive the overall work impairment on each timepoints in percentage, and then changes of the percentage from baseline are reported.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Study population consisted of anemic participants with stages 3, 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) (Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2) who were not on dialysis. Participants were recruited from 125 study centers located in 22 countries.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 594 participants with CKD were randomized to one of the 2 treatment arms in a 2:1 ratio receiving roxadustat or placebo. Anemia was defined as a mean Hb ≤ 10.0 g/dL upon repeated measurements during the screening period. Participants needed a ferritin ≥30 ng/mL (≥ 67.4 pmol/L) and transferrin saturation (TSAT) ≥ 5%.

Change From BL to Each Study Visit in Albumin/Creatinine Ratio in Urine

Baseline assessment was the assessment from day 1 visit. If baseline value was missing, value from screening visit was used. In case of missing data, no imputation rules were applied. To compute the geometric mean of albumin/creatinine ratio in urine and associated 95% CI, the mean of log-transformed albumin/creatinine ratio in urine values (ratio) and associated 95% CI are back-transformed to the raw scale. All assessments collected after initiation of dialysis (acute or chronic) were excluded from the analysis.

Change From BL to the Average Value of Weeks 12-28 in Overall Work Impairment Due to Anaemic Symptoms

Work productivity and activity impairment: anemic symptoms (WPAI:ANS) questionnaire version 2 was used to measure work and activity impairment during the last seven days due to anemia. It is self-assessed questionnaire which consists of 6 questions covering work and daily activities. Questions include asking if participant is working, how many hours the person missed work due to anemic symptoms, how many hours the person missed work due to other reasons, how many hours participant actually worked and how the anemic symptoms impacted their productivity and ability to do daily activities. For the last 2 questions, they were scored from 0-10 with 0 identifying no effect on work and 10 completely prevented from working. Overall work impairment due to ANS was calculated as 100 x Q2/(Q2+Q4)+\[(1-Q2/(Q2+Q4))x(Q5/10)\]. Scores were calculated with the formula to derive the overall work impairment on each timepoints in percentage, and then changes of the percentage from baseline are reported.

The Euroqol Questionnaire - 5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D 5L) is a self-reported questionnaire. The EQ-5D 5L is used as a measure of respondents' Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The EQ-5D 5L consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D 5L descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, extreme problems. The VAS records the respondent's self-rated health status on a graduated (0-100) scale, where the answers are labeled 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state' with higher scores for higher HRQoL.

Mean Monthly Number of RBC Packs

During efficacy emergent period, the mean monthly number of RBC packs was calculated as the sum of units transfused between the first dose and up to the last dose in the period divided by duration of efficacy emergent period (in days) divided by 28 days. The efficacy emergent period was defined as the evaluation period from the analysis date of first dose intake up to 7 days after the analysis date of last dose or EOT visit, whichever occured first. In case of missing number of packs, values were estimated based on 1 unit for packed cells = 250 mL or 1 unit for whole blood = 500 mL.

Rate of Progression of CKD Measured by Annualized Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Slope Over Time

Annualized eGFR slope over time was estimated by a random slopes and intercepts model using all available eGFR values (one baseline and all post-treatment values up to EOT period or start of dialysis adjusted on baseline Hb, region, CV history at baseline and the interaction terms (baseline eGFR by timepoint and baseline Hb by timepoint). All assessments collected after initiation of chronic dialysis (acute or chronic) are excluded from the analysis. Baseline assessment was the assessment from day 1 visit. If this value was missing, the value from screening visit was used.
