Drug Overview
Roxadustat (FibroGen/Astellas/AstraZeneca) is a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitor in development for the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease. The drug is administered orally three times per week and mimics the body’s natural response to reduced oxygen levels by increasing levels of HIFs. These factors are involved in erythropoiesis. Roxadustat treats anemia primarily by reducing hepcidin levels, increasing iron transport and absorption proteins, and stimulating erythropoietin production.
