Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This was a multicenter, randomized, open label, non inferiority clinical study. It consisted of a 24-week treatment period (0-24 weeks) and a 24-week extension period (25-48 weeks). About 160 patients which had received Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) or Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) treatment were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Pegmolesatide with different administration regimens.
