JRCT ID: jRCT2041220113

Registered date:26/12/2022

Basic Information

• Recruitment status: Pending
• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: Renal anemia
• Date of first enrollment: 03/02/2023
• Target sample size: 18
• Countries of recruitment: US,Japan,Argentina,Japan,Australia,Japan,Belgium,Japan,France,Japan,Germany,Japan,Italy,Japan,Netherlands,Japan,Russia,Japan,Spain,Japan,South Korea,Japan,Poland,Japan,Turkey,Japan,Canada,Japan,UK,Japan
• Study type: Interventional

Intervention(s)

All participants will receive oral daprodustat for a total of 52 weeks and will be followed for an additional 4 weeks after completing treatment. The lowest dose level defined (0.125 mg once daily [QD]) will be achieved by dosing 0.25 mg three times a week (TIW). All other dose steps involve QD dosing frequency.
The initial starting dose is dependent on the participants Hgb at baseline, ESA and dialysis status. Dose adjustment, according to an age specific algorithm within the range 0.125 mg to 24 mg QD equivalent, will be performed to achieve and maintain the Hgb within a target range.

Outcome(s)

Primary Outcome

Describe the safety of daprodustat, overall (all ages) and in each age group.
- Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs), and AEs leading to study intervention discontinuation.
