Abstract in brief

  • A phase 3 trial compared the effectiveness of an oral drug called daprodustat to injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) in increasing hemoglobin levels in CKD patients on dialysis with low hemoglobin.
  • Results showed that daprodustat increased hemoglobin by an average of 0.28 g/dL, while the ESA group had an increase of 0.10 g/dL, indicating that daprodustat was noninferior to ESAs.
  • Cardiovascular events were similar in both groups, with 25.2% of daprodustat patients and 26.7% of ESA patients experiencing major adverse events, confirming dap
