NCT ID NCT05082584
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to test a once-daily pill called vadadustat for treating anemia in children with chronic kidney disease. The goal was to see if the drug could safely raise red blood cell levels without the need for injections. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
