NCT02988973 | Completed Phase 3

• 1 other identifier: 1517-CL-0310
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 334
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 66

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASP1517 when converted from recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) or darbepoetin alfa (DA), compared to DA in the treatment of anemia in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients. Another uncontrolled cohort will be included to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASP1517 in patients converted from epoetin beta pegol (CERA). This study will also assess the safety/efficacy of long term treatment of ASP1517 (52 weeks).

Study Arms (3)

rHuEPO or DA to ASP1517

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive roxadustat according to the prior randomization treatment, with starting doses of 70mg thrice weekly (TIW) to participants on \<4500 IU/week of rHuEPO or \<20 microgram (μg)/week of darbepoetin alfa (DA) and 100mg TIW to participants on ≥4500 IU/week rHuEPO or ≥ 20 μg/week DA. Participants roxadustat dosage will be adjusted every 4 weeks to maintain Hb level within the target range 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL. Dose adjustment steps will be as follows: 20, 40, 50, 70, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 mg.

Drug: roxadustat

rHuEPO or DA to DA

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive DA according to the prior randomization treatment, with starting doses of 15 μg/2weeks to participants on ≤ 1500 IU/week of rHuEPO or \<11.25 microgram (μg)/week of DA, 30μg/2weeks to participants on \>1500 to \<6000 IU/week of rHuEPO or ≥ 11.25 to \< 22.5 μg/week of DA, 60μg/2weeks to participants on ≥ 6000 IU/week of rHuEPO or ≥ 22.5 to \< 37.5 μg/week of DA, 90μg/2weeks to participants on ≥ 37.5 to \< 52.5 μg/week of DA, 120μg/2weeks to participants on ≥ 52.5 to \< 75 μg/week of DA, 180μg/2weeks to participants on ≥ 75 μg/week of DA. Participant's roxadustat dosage will be adjusted every 4 weeks to maintain Hb level within the target range 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL. Dose adjustment steps will be as follows: 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 μg.

Drug: DA

Epoetin beta pegol to ASP1517

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive roxadustat according to the prior registration treatment, with starting doses of 70mg thrice weekly (TIW) to participants on ≤100 μg/week of Epoetin beta pegol and 100mg TIW to participants on \>100 μg/week of Epoetin beta pegol. Participant's roxadustat dosage will be adjusted every 4 weeks to maintain Hb level within the target range 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL. Dose adjustment steps will be as follows: 20, 40, 50, 70, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 mg.
