Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be conducted to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of vadadustat administered three times weekly (TIW) compared to a long-acting erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) (Mircera®) for the maintenance treatment of anemia in hemodialysis participants.


Description:

Following randomization, there will be 2 periods during the study: - Conversion and Maintenance Period (Weeks 0 to 52): There will be a primary efficacy evaluation period (Weeks 20 to 26) and a secondary efficacy evaluation period (Weeks 46 to 52). - Safety Follow-up Period (Early Termination [ET] and Follow-Up): post-treatment safety follow-up visit (ET/End of Treatment [EOT] +4 weeks) either in person or via telephone.
