Roxadustat Efficacy and Safety in Patients Receiving Peritoneal Dialysis: Pooled Analysis of Four Phase 3 Studies.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Roxadustat is an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor approved to treat anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The efficacy and safety of roxadustat compared with parenteral erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) were evaluated in patients with anemia of CKD receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods: This analysis pooled data from four phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-comparator studies (PYRENEES, SIERRAS, HIMALAYAS, ROCKIES). The primary endpoints evaluated were hemoglobin change from baseline (CFB) to Weeks 28-36 without rescue therapy and hemoglobin CFB to Weeks 28-52 regardless of rescue therapy use. Safety data were reported. Results: This analysis included 422 patients (215 roxadustat, 207 ESA)
