Frequently asked questions about Epoetin Hospira

What is Epoetin Hospira?

Epoetin Hospira is an investigational erythropoiesis-stimulating agent developed by Pfizer, Inc. (NYSE: PFE) for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease and chronic renal failure, including patients requiring hemodialysis. It is a monoclonal antibody that acts as an agonist at the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR).

What is Epoetin Hospira used for in chronic kidney disease?

Epoetin Hospira is being studied for the management of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease, chronic renal failure, and chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis. Its Phase 3 trials evaluated subcutaneous and intravenous dosing in adults receiving epoetin maintenance treatment.

What does Epoetin Hospira target?

Epoetin Hospira targets the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) and functions as an agonist. By activating EPOR, it is designed to stimulate erythropoiesis, the production of red blood cells, which is relevant to treating anemia in chronic kidney disease and chronic renal failure.

Who is developing Epoetin Hospira?

Epoetin Hospira is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. Pfizer is the sponsor of the Phase 3 clinical program for this erythropoiesis-stimulating agent.

What phase is Epoetin Hospira in?

Epoetin Hospira is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 3 program includes completed trials in chronic kidney disease and chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis.

What clinical trials is Epoetin Hospira in?

Epoetin Hospira has been evaluated in completed Phase 3 trials, including NCT02504294, NCT01628120, NCT01628107, and NCT01473420. These studies enrolled adults with chronic kidney disease or chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis and assessed subcutaneous or intravenous epoetin maintenance treatment.

Is Epoetin Hospira the same as Epoetin Hospira Arm?

Yes, Epoetin Hospira Arm is an alternative name for Epoetin Hospira. Both refer to the same investigational erythropoiesis-stimulating agent developed by Pfizer for anemia in chronic kidney disease and chronic renal failure.
