Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents Such as Epoetin alfa and Darbepoetin alfa  Subcutaneous or intravenous dose administered for ≥12 weeks. ESAs are medications that stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, commonly used to treat anemia associated with chronic kidney disease.  
Intervention  Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-Prolyl Hydroxylase Domain (HIF-PHD) inhibitor(s) Such as Desidustat and Roxadustat  Oral dose (100-150 mg) administered once daily for ≥12 weeks. Dose adjustment based on hemoglobin level as defined in the protocol. Oral hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) that has been approved for treating anemia in kidney disease patients 1. Effectively raising or preserving hemoglobin levels 2. Induces a rise in endogenous EPO production within the desired physiological range 3. Exerts control over iron metabolism, specifically by reducing the levels of hepcidin 4. Enhances the absorption of iron and remains unaffected by inflammation 5. Not associated with any risk of hypertension 6. Help to reduce cholesterol levels 7. Prevents the occurrence of excessively high levels of EPO

Outcome  TimePoints 
The secondary outcomes of the study will focus on the treatment-emergent adverse effects (TEATs) & serious adverse events, cardiovascular events, & hospitalization. The study will report adverse events during the follow-up period, with a focus on drug discontinuation due to adverse events.

To determine the differences in the treatment cost among CKD patients with anemia undergoing dialysis

To assess the HRQoL of dialysis patients.

To analyze the mortality.

CKD-AQ (chronic kidney disease-Anemia Questionnaire) will be used for the assessment of Anemia in CKD.

Brief Summary  

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a prevalent condition worldwide, with a significant number of patients progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and requiring dialysis. These patients often have anemia, which is a common complication of CKD. This is associated with poorer quality of life, increased healthcare costs, and a higher risk of mortality.

Traditionally, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) have been the standard of care for managing anemia in CKD patients undergoing dialysis. However, recent research has explored the potential of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-Prolyl Hydroxylase Domain (HIF-PHD) inhibitors as an alternative option.

The potential benefits of HIF-PHD inhibitors include- they are orally-administered, effectively raise or preserve hemoglobin levels, and induce an increase in endogenous EPO production within the desired physiological range. They exert control over iron metabolism, particularly by reducing hepcidin levels, enhance iron absorption, and remain unaffected by inflammation. Additionally, they may contribute to reducing cholesterol levels and have demonstrated potential cardioprotective effects with decreased inflammation.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of HIF-PHD inhibitor(s) against the standard treatment in CKD patients with anemia. Further, the estimation of safety, cost of treatment and quality of life of anemic chronic kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis are also proposed.
