NCT ID:
NCT00761657
Brief 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.
Detailed 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.
