Study summary

Investigator-initiated, interventional, prospective study to assess the clinical and operational effectiveness of daprodustat in adult patients receiving in center hemodialysis or peritoneal home dialysis who are transitioning from Mircera to daprodustat.

Read the detailed description

Investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective, interventional study to determine the clinical and operational effectiveness of transitioning from intravenous or subcutaneous Mircera to oral daily daprodustat as assessed by change in hemoglobin. This trial will be conducted at up to 40 United States Renal Care sites in the United States and will enroll approximately 200 patients (\~150 in-center hemodialysis and \~50 home dialysis patients).

Participants who are prescribed daprodustat by their treating physician and have taken at least a single dose of daprodustat will be considered enrolled into the clinical trial. After the prescription of daprodustat by the treating physician, each subject will be followed prospectively for a treatment period of approximately 120 days.

Subjects taking daprodustat will not have any in-person study related visits and will follow their usual schedule with regard to standard of care. Standard of care laboratory assessments as ordered by the primary nephrologist will be utilized. Twice monthly hemoglobin collection and monitoring will be required as part of the standard of care laboratory assessments.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in hemoglobin from baseline to the effectiveness evaluation period

    Change in hemoglobin from baseline (defined as the mean of all available hemoglobin values obtained in the 30 days prior to Day 1) to the effectiveness evaluation period (mean of all available hemoglobin values obtained in the 30 days prior to Day 120).

    Time frame: 120 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. The number/proportion of subjects with a hemoglobin in target range of 10-11 g/dL from baseline to effectiveness evaluation period

    The number/proportion of subjects with a hemoglobin in target range of 10-11 g/dL from baseline to effectiveness evaluation period

    Time frame: 120 days

  2. The number/proportion of subjects with a change in hemoglobin under 0.5 g/dL from baseline to effectiveness evaluation period

    The number/proportion of subjects with a change in hemoglobin under 0.5 g/dL from baseline to effectiveness evaluation period

    Time frame: 120 days

  3. Number of hemoglobin excursions that are < 8.5 g/dL or ≥ 12 g/dL during the treatment period.

    Number of hemoglobin excursions that are \< 8.5 g/dL or ≥ 12 g/dL during the treatment period.

    Time frame: 120 days

  4. Number of dose adjustments in daprodustat per patient during the treatment period

    Number of dose adjustments in daprodustat per patient during the treatment period

    Time frame: 120 days

  5. Number of subjects retained on daprodustat therapy from Day 1 through Day 120

    Number of subjects retained on daprodustat therapy from Day 1 through Day 120

    Time frame: 120 days

  6. The number/proportion of subjects who receive a refill prescription with the correct prescribed dose with no gap (0 days) in drug supply from the previous prescription

    The number/proportion of subjects who receive a refill prescription with the correct prescribed dose with no gap (0 days) in drug supply from the previous prescription

    Time frame: 120 days

  7. The time (in days) from initial and refill prescription to delivery to patient

    The time (in days) from initial and refill prescription to delivery to patient

    Time frame: 120 days

  8. Average monthly (percent) compliance with daprodustat daily dosing, per subject report.

    The average monthly compliance will be calculated from individual subject reported verbal estimates of (percent) compliance with daprodustat daily administration.

    Time frame: 120 days
