Safety and Efficacy of a Phased Transition From Epogen to Three Times Weekly Oral Vadadustat for the Treatment of Anemia in Subjects Receiving In-Center Hemodialysis

This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label study assessing the safety of a phased transition from Epogen to three times per week vadadustat (TIW-V) for the treatment of anemia in subjects receiving in-center hemodialysis. Subjects who have signed an IRB-approved informed consent form and who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will simultaneously have their Epogen dose reduced by 50% and initiate 300 mg vadadustat TIW. Subsequent dose modifications will occur in order to target a narrow hemoglobin range (10-11 g/dL). Patients will have their hemoglobin assessed every 2 weeks and will continue in the trial for up to 28 weeks.
