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?

HX575 epoetin alfa is an investigational epoetin alfa product developed by Sandoz, part of Novartis AG (ticker NVS). It is being studied as a biosimilar-style erythropoiesis-stimulating agent for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. It has been evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials in adults.

What is HX575 epoetin alfa used for in anemia and chronic kidney disease?

HX575 epoetin alfa is being developed to treat anemia in adults with chronic kidney disease. Its Phase 3 program compared it with US-licensed epoetin alfa for safety and efficacy in this patient population, and a separate Phase 3 study evaluated subcutaneous administration in chronic kidney disease patients.

Who makes HX575 epoetin alfa?

HX575 epoetin alfa is developed by Sandoz, which is part of Novartis AG, listed under the ticker NVS. Novartis is the parent company associated with the asset, and the drug is also referred to as HX575 epoetin alfa (Sandoz).

What phase is HX575 epoetin alfa in?

HX575 epoetin alfa is in Phase 3 development. Its Phase 3 trials have been completed, and no trials are currently listed as active. The program has not been described as FDA approved, so it remains an investigational product rather than an approved therapy.

What clinical trials is HX575 epoetin alfa in?

HX575 epoetin alfa has been studied in two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT01693029 compared its safety and efficacy with US-licensed epoetin alfa in 435 adults with anemia and chronic kidney disease in the United States. NCT01576341 evaluated subcutaneous HX575 epoetin alfa in 417 chronic kidney disease patients across Europe and Turkey.

Is HX575 epoetin alfa the same as Sandoz epoetin alfa?

Yes. HX575 epoetin alfa is also known as HX575 epoetin alfa (Sandoz), reflecting that Sandoz, part of Novartis AG, is the developer. Both names refer to the same investigational epoetin alfa product studied in Phase 3 trials for anemia in chronic kidney disease.
