Renal Anaemia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Prospective, Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel Group Study to Establish the Therapeutic Equivalence of EPIAO® With the Standard Treatment EPREX® in Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Related Anaemia Not Yet on Dialysis
This study is aimed to comprehensively establish the biosimilarity/bioquivalence in EPIAO® and EPREX® in terms of 52-week comparisons in efficacy,safety and immunogenicity.The targeted population is anaemia patients with chronic renal disease who are naive to epoetin treatment and not yet on haemodialysis.
This is a prospective, randomized, double blind, parallel group two arm study to establish the therapeutic equivalence, safety and tolerability of EPIAO® as compared to EPREX® in the treatment of CKD related anaemia in subjects who are not yet on dialysis (pre-dialysis). A total of 96 subjects will be randomized into two groups in a 1:1ratio. Treatment arm A will receive EPIAO® once a week, subcutaneously for period of 52 weeks and treatment arm B will receive EPREX, weight once a week, subcutaneously for period of 52 weeks. ;
