NCT ID NCT04899661

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tracks over 1,000 Japanese patients with renal anemia (low red blood cells due to kidney disease) who are taking molidustat tablets. Researchers are monitoring for serious side effects like blood clots, high blood pressure, and tumors, as well as checking if red blood cell counts improve. The goal is to see how safe and effective the drug is in real-world use over up to 2 years.
