Phase 2 Study of Roxadustat in Participants With Anemia and Chronic Kidney Disease Not Requiring Dialysis

Anemia Clinical Trial

Official title: A Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled, 4-Week Treatment Study of the Safety and Biologic Activity of Escalating Multiple Oral Doses of FG-4592 in Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease Not Requiring Dialysis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic effects of different oral doses of roxadustat administered 2 times a week (BIW) or 3 times a week (TIW) for up to 4 weeks to participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) not requiring dialysis.

Clinical Trial Description

This study in participants with CKD not requiring dialysis was conducted in 2 parts (designated Part 1 and Part 2). Part 1 evaluated roxadustat doses at 1.0 and 2.0 milligrams/kilograms (mg/kg). Part 2 evaluated roxadustat doses at 0.7, 1.5, and 2.0 mg/kg.

On 08 May 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a clinical hold on the study until evaluation of a report of a death due to fulminant hepatic failure in a participant with CKD in a FibroGen-sponsored clinical trial of another hypoxia inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) (FG-2216) being investigated for treatment of anemia in participants with CKD and other diseases. The clinical hold resulted in early termination of Part 1 of the study. On 24 March 2008, the FDA lifted the clinical hold and Part 2 of this study started. ;
