New kidney anemia drug under Long-Term safety review
NCT ID NCT04899661
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 4 times
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.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Molidustat (a drug taken as a tablet to help the body make more red blood cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that molidustat is a safe and effective long-term treatment for renal anemia, helping patients maintain healthy red blood cell levels.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. There are known risks including blood clots, high blood pressure, and other serious side effects that need careful monitoring.
