Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Roxadustat in the Treatment of Heart Failure With Chronic Kidney Disease and Anemia

China-Japan Friendship Hospital300 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to conduct a a cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the efficacy and safety of roxadustat for the treatment of anemia, quality of life and cardiac function in patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease.

This is a cohort study in patients with anemia with heart failure complicated with chronic kidney disease, evaluating the the efficacy and safety of roxadustat. Patients were divided into roxadustat group and control group according to whether roxadustat was used or not. The efficacy and safety of roxadustat for the treatment of anemia, quality of life and cardiac function in patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease will be evaluated. The primary and secondary endpoints will be examined in subgroups determined by baseline variables reflecting demography, heart failure characteristics, diabetes status, kidney function, cardiac function, natriuretic peptide, dialysis, and additional co-morbidities, concomitant medications, and others.

Interventions

RoxadustatDRUG

The initial dose of roxadustat was given according to body weight, which was more than 60kg: 100mg (three times a week); Weight less than 60kg: 70mg (three times a week); 2 weeks later, the corresponding indexes were rechecked and medication was adjusted according to hemoglobin. The target is hemoglobin 100-120g/L. Reference for medication Method: The use of roxadustat is the same as the RCT study of roxadustat in the treatment of anemia and the drug instructions of roxadustat published by N Engl J Med in 2019.

Recombinant human eythropoietin and/or Iron agentsDRUG

Other drugs to treat anemia include: Recombinant human eythropoietin (RH-EPO), iron agents (ferrous succinate, polysaccharide iron complex, iron sucrose, etc.)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in the hemoglobin from baseline

Hemoglobin is calculated by the routine blood test

Time frame: up to 8 week

Secondary Outcomes

Change in N-terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP)

Change from baseline to week 12 in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Baseline value was defined as the mean of all available measurements from the screening visit until start of treatment with randomised study medication.

Time frame: Up to 8 weeks

Change in Left Ventricular Systolic Function

Change in left ventricular ejection fraction is assessed by two-dimensional directed M-mode echocardiography

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Change in Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Diameter

Change in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter is assessed by two-dimensional directed M-mode echocardiography

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Change in Left Ventricular Diastolic Function

Change in E/e' is assessed by two-dimensional directed M-mode echocardiography

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Change in Low-density lipoprotein（LDL）

Change from baseline to week 8 in Low-density lipoprotein（LDL）.Baseline value was defined as the mean of all available measurements from the screening visit until start of treatment with randomised study medication.

Time frame: Up to 8 weeks

Change in Serum ferritin

Change from baseline to week 8 in Serum ferritin.Baseline value was defined as the mean of all available measurements from the screening visit until start of treatment with randomised study medication.
