Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Daprodustat | Participants received placebo tablets orally once daily in run-in period from Week -4 up to randomization (Day 1) and subsequently received daprodustat tablets at dose levels of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24 milligrams (mg) orally once daily until the required number of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) occurred, at approximately 45.1 months of randomized treatment. Study treatment was dose-titrated to achieve and maintain hemoglobin in the target range (10 to 11 grams per deciliter \[g/dL\]). | 294 | 1,487 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | rhEPO | Participants received placebo tablets orally once daily in run-in period from Week -4 up to randomization (Day 1) and subsequently received treatment with rhEPO. Participants on hemodialysis received epoetin alfa as intravenous (IV) injection once weekly or three-times weekly with total weekly dose levels ranging from 1500 to 60,000 Units. Participants on peritoneal dialysis received subcutaneous (SC) injection of darbepoetin alfa every 1, 2, or 4 weeks with 4-weekly total dose levels ranging from 20 to 400 microgram (mcg). Darbepoetin could be given by IV injection for peritoneal dialysis participants switching to hemodialysis. Study treatment was dose-titrated to achieve and maintain hemoglobin in the target range (10 to 11 g/dL) and administered until the required number of MACE events occurred, at approximately 45.1 months of randomized treatment. | 300 | 1,477 | EG001 |
