Evrenzo (roxadustat) is an oral medication, comprised of HIF-PH inhibitors that promote erythropoiesis, through increased endogenous production of erythropoietin, improved iron absorption and mobilization, and downregulation of hepcidin.
Evrenzo (roxadustat) is an oral medication, comprising HIF-PH inhibitors that promote erythropoiesis, through increased endogenous production of erythropoietin, improved iron absorption and mobilization, and downregulation of hepcidin.
Recent endorsement of Evrenzo (roxadustat) by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) could be a catalyst for further use as alternative to erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs).
Evrenzo (roxadustat) was non-inferior to ESA for risk of a major adverse cardiovascular event, and major adverse cardiovascular event plus congestive heart failure or unstable angina requiring hospitalization with a consistent finding for all-cause mortality.
Roxadustat increases hemoglobin (Hb) levels through a different mechanism of action compared to injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) which are typically co-administered with intravenous iron.
Roxadustat is the first orally administered HIF-PH inhibitor available in the European Union. Roxadustat increases hemoglobin (Hb) levels through a different mechanism of action compared to injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs).
The safety and efficacy of roxadustat, an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor, have been demonstrated in the Phase III programme including more than 8,000 patients and published in five peer-reviewed journal articles.
The safety and efficacy of roxadustat, an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor, have been demonstrated in the Phase III programme including more than 8,000 patients and published in five peer-reviewed journal articles.
The results of this program support roxadustat as efficacious in achieving and maintaining target Hb levels (10-12g/dL) in patients with symptomatic anemia of CKD regardless of dialysis status and irrespective of prior ESA treatment.
