RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: CERA, a continuous erythropoietin receptor activator, has reported effective correction of anaemia in international clinical trials. OBJECTIVE: Objective of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of CERA in Indian patients who were on dialysis and has not received erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) therapy in last 8 weeks. METHODS: In this open label, single arm, prospective, multi-centre study, 189 patients on dialysis, having Haemoglobin (Hb) between 8 - 10 g/dL and not receiving any ESA for last 8 weeks were included at 14 centers across India. CERA was given intravenous (IV) at the dose of 0.6 microg/kg every two weeks. Primary end point of the study was mean change in Hb concentration from baseline to end of the treatment period (TP) of 16 weeks. RESULTS: Mean change of Hb from baseline to end of TP was 2.11 +/- 1.37 g/dL and 2.08 +/- 1.29 g/dL in intent to treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP) population respectively. Mean time to achieve Hb response was 6.10 +/- 3.87 weeks and 6.16 +/- 3.92 weeks in ITT and PP populations respectively. Out of 68 adverse events (AEs) seen during study period, 33 were serious adverse events (SAEs). As per investigators all SAEs were related to underlying disease and not to the study medication. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that CERA administered once in two weeks in dialysis patients effectively corrected chronic kidney disease (CKD) related anaemia and was well tolerated with no significant untoward effect directly related to drug therapy in Indian population.
