INTRODUCTION: Renal anemia is a common complication among patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD), and there remains an unmet need for more efficient and convenient daily oral medications to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enarodustat, a hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, in treating anemia for ND-CKD patients. METHODS: This phase 3 study was conducted at 48 centers across China, enrolling 156 ND-CKD patients. Participants were randomly randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either enarodustat or placebo for an initial 8-week double-blind period, followed by a 16-week open-label period during which all patients received enarodustat. RESULTS: The primary endpoint was the mean change in hemoglobin (Hb) levels from baseline to the average level during weeks 7-9. Secondary endpoints focused on Hb concentration or treatment pattern, while exploratory endpoints assessed iron metabolism-related parameters. The mean (±SD) change in Hb levels from baseline to weeks 7-9 was 15.99 (±9.46) g/L in the enarodustat group, compared to -0.14 (±8.08) g/L in the placebo group, resulting in a mean difference of 16.00 (±1.54) g/L (.). During weeks 7-9, 85.3% of patients in the enarodustat group achieved Hb levels ≥100 g/L with 86.0% maintaining this level during weeks 21-25. In the first 4 weeks, the Hb increased by 11.82 (±9.56) g/L in the enarodustat group. By week 9, the mean change in hepcidin level was -42.94 (±37.56) ng/mL in the enarodustat group, compared to +4.58 (±33.34) ng/mL in the placebo group. Enarodustat also improved other iron-related parameters and reduced the need for iron supplements. The safety profile of enarodustat was well tolerable with adverse events comparable to those of the placebo. CONCLUSION: Enarodustat effectively corrected renal anemia with a manageable safety profile. Its once-daily oral administration offers convenience that may enhance the adherence. Enarodustat shows the potential as a promising therapy for anemic patients with ND-CKD.
引言:肾性贫血是非透析慢性肾脏病(ND-CKD)患者常见的并发症,对于更高效、便捷的日常口服药物以改善患者预后仍存在未满足的需求。本研究旨在评估缺氧诱导因子脯氨酰羟化酶抑制剂依那度司他治疗ND-CKD患者贫血的疗效和安全性。 方法:这项3期研究在中国48个中心进行,纳入156例ND-CKD患者。参与者按2:1的比例随机分组,在最初8周的双盲期接受依那度司他或安慰剂治疗,随后是16周的开放标签期,在此期间所有患者均接受依那度司他治疗。 结果:主要终点是血红蛋白(Hb)水平从基线到第7至9周平均水平的变化。次要终点集中在Hb浓度或治疗模式,而探索性终点评估铁代谢相关参数。依那度司他组Hb水平从基线到第7至9周的平均(±标准差)变化为15.99(±9.46)g/L,而安慰剂组为-0.14(±8.08)g/L,平均差异为16.00(±1.54)g/L(。)。在第7至9周,依那度司他组85.3%的患者Hb水平≥100 g/L,86.0%的患者在第21至25周维持该水平。在最初4周,依那度司他组Hb升高了11.82(±9.56)g/L。到第9周,依那度司他组铁调素水平的平均变化为-42.94(±37.56)ng/mL,而安慰剂组为+4.58(±33.34)ng/mL。依那度司他还改善了其他铁相关参数,并减少了铁补充剂的需求。依那度司他的安全性良好,不良事件与安慰剂相当。 结论:依那度司他有效纠正肾性贫血,安全性可控。其每日一次口服给药方便,可能会提高依从性。依那度司他显示出作为ND-CKD贫血患者有前景的治疗方法的潜力。
