    [VIRTUAL] Efficacy and Safety of Roxadustat in Patients with Dialysis-Dependent CKD and Anemia on Peritoneal Dialysis (Simulive) -  Oct 11, 2020 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2020KIDNEY_WEEK_3739;    
    Roxadustat was efficacious vs. epoetin alfa for increasing/maintaining Hb levels and reducing the risk for blood/RBC transfusion in patients with DD-CKD on PD. Safety and tolerability profiles were similar to the overall population and consistent with that observed in this patient subgroup.

    [VIRTUAL] Efficacy and Safety of Roxadustat in Patients with Dialysis-Dependent CKD and Anemia on Hemodialysis (Simulive) -  Oct 11, 2020 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2020KIDNEY_WEEK_3554;    
    Roxadustat was efficacious vs. epoetin alfa for increasing and maintaining Hb levels in patients with DD-CKD on HD. The safety and tolerability profiles were similar to the overall population and consistent with that observed in this patient subgroup.

    [VIRTUAL] Iron Overload in ESRD Treated with Deferoxamine for Chelation (On-Demand) -  Oct 11, 2020 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2020KIDNEY_WEEK_2465;    
    While no repeat iron levels have been obtained due to patient discharge, initial ferritin levels indicate possible treatment response. No adverse side effects have been noted with the patient receiving chelation therapy during her hospital admission.

    [VIRTUAL] Efficacy and Safety of Roxadustat in Patients with Dialysis-Dependent CKD, Anemia, and Heart Failure (On-Demand) -  Oct 11, 2020 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2020KIDNEY_WEEK_1568;    
    Roxadustat was efficacious vs. epoetin alfa for increasing Hb levels and reducing mean monthly IV iron use in DD-CKD patients with HF. The safety and tolerability profile was similar to the overall population and consistent with that observed in this patient subgroup.

    [VIRTUAL] Roxadustat Lowers Risk of Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Patients with Anemia of CKD (On-Demand) -  Oct 11, 2020 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2020KIDNEY_WEEK_905;    
    Roxadustat markedly and significantly reduced the risk of RBC transfusion during anemia treatment compared with placebo in NDD CKD and, versus epoetin alfa in DD CKD in the pooled patient populations. Funding: Commercial Support

    Clinical, Journal:  Optimal EPO dosing in hemodialysis patients using a non-linear model predictive control approach. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 30, 2020   
    Based on a model of erythropoiesis we formulate a non-linear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithm for the individualized optimization of epoetin alfa (EPO) doses...An appropriate control is feasible in the tested patients under the assumption that the controlled quantity is measured regularly and that continuous EPO administration is adjusted on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Further, the controller satisfactorily handles the following challenging problems in simulations: bleedings, missed administrations and dosing errors.

    [VIRTUAL] Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome: Incidental Finding via Colonoscopy in an Asymptomatic Male () -  Sep 15, 2020 - Abstract #ACG2020ACG_1166;    
    Several anti-angiogenic agents including corticosteroids, sirolimus, interferon-a, and octreotide have been found to control GI bleeding while reducing the need for transfusions. This is an incidental, asymptomatic case of BRBNS which can be added to the already known limited reported cases.

    Clinical, Retrospective data, Journal:  Definition and Validation of a Novel Metric of Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agent Response in Hemodialysis Patients. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 4, 2020   
    The poor response group received a higher median epoetin alfa dose (160 U/kg/week) compared to the excellent response group (68.8 U/kg/week; P < .001) with a similar number of dose changes between the groups. AUC-HGB is a valid marker of epoetin alfa response and should be considered in future analyses of larger populations.

    Roxadustat Lowers Risk of RBC Transfusion in Patients with Anemia of CKD () -  Mar 27, 2020 - Abstract #NKFCSM2020NKF_CSM_185;    
    The hemodialysis patients will benefit from the new treatment in terms of hemoglobin stability with less doses administration with the possibility of reducing adverse health outcomes. Roxadustat markedly and significantly reduced the risk of RBC transfusion during anemia treatment compared with placebo in NDD CKD and, versus epoetin alfa in DD CKD in the pooled patient populations.

    Prices of reference biologics with biosimilar competition increased at a lower rate than biologics without biosimilar competition. The overall phase 2 efficacy and safety profile of molidustat in patients with CKD and anemia enables the progression of its development into phase 3.
