Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Mean Absolute Change in Hemoglobin Levels Between the Screening/Baseline Period (Week -4 to Day 1) and the Evaluation Period (Week 21-28)
Week -4 to Day1 and Week 21-28

Response to epoetin alfa in anemic patients with chronic renal failure is manifested by increased hematocrit, hemoglobin, reduced transfusion requirements and increase in quality of life. Hemoglobin (laboratory haematology parameter) is the primary endpoint of the study .

Frequently asked questions about HX575 epoetin alfa

What is HX575 epoetin alfa used for?

HX575 epoetin alfa is an investigational biosimilar being developed for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is a small molecule therapeutic in the hematology area, studied in adult patients with CKD who have anemia.

Who makes HX575 epoetin alfa?

HX575 epoetin alfa is being developed by Novartis AG, a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NVS. The drug is in Phase 3 clinical development for chronic kidney disease and anemia.

What phase is HX575 epoetin alfa in?

HX575 epoetin alfa is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, with one active-controlled study comparing it to US-licensed epoetin alfa.

What clinical trials is HX575 epoetin alfa in?

HX575 epoetin alfa has been studied in two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT01576341 evaluated subcutaneous administration in chronic kidney disease patients across multiple countries, while NCT01693029 compared its safety and efficacy to US-licensed epoetin alfa in anemic CKD patients in the United States.

Is HX575 epoetin alfa the same as epoetin alfa?

HX575 epoetin alfa is a proposed biosimilar to epoetin alfa, a reference biologic used to treat anemia. It was studied in a Phase 3 trial (NCT01693029) that directly compared HX575 to US-licensed epoetin alfa to establish similarity in safety and efficacy.
