What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is an international, multicenter trial, evaluating pharmacokinetics (PK) (4 weeks), safety (52 weeks), and hemoglobin (Hgb) response (52 weeks) to daprodustat in children and adolescent participants with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) incorporating 2 independent sub-trials (Non dialysis \[ND\] and Dialysis \[D\]). This study will enroll participants with anemia associated with CKD, in 2 distinct sub-populations differing only by their CKD stage and dialysis requirement (ND: CKD stage 3 to 5 not yet receiving dialysis and D: CKD stage 5d undergoing peritoneal dialysis \[PD\] or hemodialysis \[HD\]). The maximum duration of the study will be approximately 60 weeks, including Screening period (up to 4 weeks), treatment period (52 weeks), and follow-up period (4 weeks). Outcome measures are identical for the ND and D sub-trials, but will be separately assessed in each sub- trials, overall and within each age subgroups (12 to less than \[\<\] 18 years, 6 to \<12 years, 2 to \<6 years, and 3 months to \<2 years). Except for PK and dose change, which is within each age group only.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for children and adolescents aged 3 months to under 18 years with anemia due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5, not on dialysis, or those on dialysis. Participants must have specific hemoglobin levels depending on their treatment history with erythropoiesis stimulating agents.

Inclusion Criteria

I have anemia due to chronic kidney disease and meet the specified hemoglobin levels.

Written informed consent or assent as appropriate

I am between 3 months and 18 years old.

Exclusion Criteria

I have not had any bleeding in my stomach or intestines in the last month.

Transferrin saturation (TSAT) < 20 percent (%), or Ferritin <25 nanogram (ng)/milliliter (mL)

I have received a kidney transplant and it is working well.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Daprodustat

Trial Overview The study tests Daprodustat's effects over a year in managing anemia in young patients with CKD, both undergoing and not undergoing dialysis. It will measure how the body processes the drug, its safety, and its impact on hemoglobin levels across different age groups.
