A Study of Pegmolesatide of in Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Patients With Anemia Treated With Hypoxia-inducible Factor Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor (HIF-PHI)

• Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
• Trial end date: 2027-12-01

Summary

For patients with renal anemia treated with hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), there is a clinical need of switching to long-acting and safe medications.

Pegmolesatide, a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated erythropoiesis-stimulating peptide, is a long-acting erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) with sustained activity. It was approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in June 2023. Phase III clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy and safety in dialysis patients with renal anemia who were previously treated with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO). However, there are currently no data regarding the efficacy and safety of switching from HIF-PHIs to pegmolesatide, and there is a lack of standard for the dose conversion.

This study is a multi-center, prospective, open-label, randomized parallel-controlled clinical trial, planning to enroll 96 patients.

All enrolled patients will receive 12 weeks of treatment and be followed up for 16 weeks.
