Can a pill tailored to inflammation boost red blood cells in kidney disease?
NCT ID NCT07741279
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether enarodustat, an oral medication, can effectively raise hemoglobin levels in adults with anemia from chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis. Participants will take enarodustat daily, with doses adjusted to reach a target hemoglobin range, and will be grouped by their baseline inflammation levels to see if that affects response. The trial follows each person for 24 weeks, tracking hemoglobin changes, iron metabolism, and any side effects, aiming to find the best dosing strategy for different patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enarodustat
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help tailor enarodustat dosing to individual inflammation levels, improving anemia management in CKD patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center observational study, so results may not apply broadly. Enarodustat may cause side effects, and its effectiveness could vary.
