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 daprodustat tablets with titrated dose levels ranging from 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32 and 48 milligrams (mg) orally three-times weekly up to 52 weeks. Study treatment was dose-titrated to achieve and maintain hemoglobin in the target range (10 to 11 grams per deciliter \[g/dL\]). In order to maintain the study blind, participants also received saline intravenous (IV) injection once weekly or three-times weekly depending on dose level, up to 52 weeks as an inactive treatment for the IV formulation. All participants were followed up at 4 to 6 weeks after last dose. | 18 | 270 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Epoetin Alfa | Participants received epoetin alfa with titrated dose levels ranging from 1500 Units to 60,000 Units total weekly dose and administered as IV injection once weekly or three-times weekly depending on dose level up to 52 weeks. Study treatment was dose-titrated to achieve and maintain hemoglobin in the target range (10 to 11 g/dL). In order to maintain the study blind, participants also received placebo tablets matching to daprodustat orally three-times weekly up to 52 weeks as an inactive treatment for the tablet formulation. All participants were followed up at 4 to 6 weeks after last dose. | 10 | 136 | EG001 |
