Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The present randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study objective is to assess the cardiovascular safety and efficacy of Roxadustat in patients with stage 3, 4, or 5 CKD who are anemic and not on dialysis.

Patients will be randomized (1:1) to double-blind treatment with roxadustat or placebo,  TIW and titrated to achieve and maintain Hb 11±1 g/dL. Treatment duration is variable for individual patients (estimated treatment duration 1 to 2 years). A study end date will be declared and common closeout will occur when the target number of CV events has been accrued.
