FibroGen - Late-Breaking Roxadustat Safety Results at Kidney Week 2020

Показать описание

Dr. Lynda Szczech, VP of Clinical Development and Medical Affairs at FibroGen discusses new data presented at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined on roxadustat, the company's investigational first-in-class oral treatment for anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). These data will build upon roxadustat’s well-defined efficacy and safety profile. If approved in December 2020, roxadustat will be the first new anemia treatment option for CKD patients in about 30 years. Its oral formulation could make anemia management more convenient for patients and limit time spent in transfusion facilities, an especially important consideration during flu season and the COVID-19 pandemic.
