About this trial

This was a multicenter, randomized, open label, non inferiority clinical study. It consisted of a 24-week treatment period (0-24 weeks) and a 24-week extension period (25-48 weeks). About 160 patients which had received Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) or Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) treatment were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Pegmolesatide with different administration regimens.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Changes of mean Hb levels from baseline in the standard medication regimen group and the optimized medication regimen group at week 24 of the treatment period.

Baseline Hb was defined as the assessments of Hb during 3days prior to first dose of the study treatment. Mean Hb levels at week 24 of the treatment period (Hb at week 24) was defined as the mean of Hb at day 168±5 of the treatment period. Changes of mean Hb levels from baseline in the standard medication regimen group and the optimized medication regimen group at week 24 of the treatment period was calculated by subtracting the baseline Hb from Hb at week 24.

Time frame
the 24th week of treatment.

Secondary outcomes

1

Median time for two groups of Hb values to reach the target for the first time
