Renal Anemia Drug Pipeline Analysis Report 2024

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases estimates that 1 in 7 people affected by a kidney disease have anemia. In addition, more than 37 million United States adults may have chronic kidney disease. The rising prevalence of kidney diseases due to unhealthy dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle and increased alcohol indulgence complement the risk of renal anemia. Therefore, several companies are engaged in research and development to develop high-efficacy drugs to manage the condition, indicating a robust drug pipeline.

Key Takeaways

• Major companies involved in the renal anemia pipeline drugs market include Hoffmann-La Roche, Astellas Pharma Inc., and Bayer.

• Leading drugs currently under pipeline include AND017, FG-2216, Roxadustat, and PEG-EPO injections among others.

• Regulatory authorities such as the United States FDA and EMA play an essential role in the drug pipeline for renal anemia as they are offering breakthrough designations to manage the condition. 

Report Coverage

The Renal Anemia Drug Pipeline Insight Report by Expert Market Research gives comprehensive insights into renal anemia drugs currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for Renal anemia. The report includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. The renal anemia pipeline landscape will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials including their adverse effects on patients suffering from renal anemia.

The assessment part will include a detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration and ongoing product development activities related to renal anemia.

Renal Anemia Drug Pipeline Outlook

Renal anemia (also known as anemia of kidney disease) is a side effect of chronic kidney disease, leading to reduced production of erythropoietin (EPO). Erythropoietin is a vital hormone released by the kidneys and it helps in the production of red blood cells. Renal anemia gets worse with the progression of chronic kidney disease. Common symptoms include pale skin, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath or cold intolerance.

Treatment alternatives include iron supplements and vitamins. However, medicines are advised to treat severe symptoms of the disease. In February 2023, GSK received the United States FDA approval for Jesduvroq (daprodustat), intended to treat chronic kidney disease associated anemia in adults on dialysis. Patients on hemodialysis may also receive a subcutaneous erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) for the treatment of anemia.

Renal Anemia – Drug Pipeline Therapeutic Assessment

This section of the report covers the analysis of renal anemia drugs based on several segmentations including:

By Phase

EMR’s pipeline assessment report covers 50+ drug analyses based on phase.

• Late-Stage Products (Phase 3 and Phase 4)

• Mid-Stage Products (Phase 2)

• Early-Stage Products (Phase I)

• Preclinical and Discovery Stage Products

By Drug Class

EMR’s pipeline assessment report covers 50+ drug analyses based on drug classes:

• Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs)

• Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitors (HIF-PHIs)

• Iron Supplements

• Vitamin Supplements

By Route of Administration

EMR’s pipeline assessment report covers 50+ drug analyses based on the route of administration.

• Oral

• Parenteral

• Others

Renal Anemia – Pipeline Assessment Segmentation, By Phases

The report covers phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and early phase drugs. The coverage includes an in-depth analysis of each drug across these phases. According to EMR analysis, phase III covers a major share of the total clinical trials for renal anemia. There are around 206 drugs in phase III of renal anemia drugs.

Renal Anemia – Pipeline Assessment Segmentation, By Drug Classes

The drug molecules categories covered under renal anemiapipeline analysis include erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs), iron supplements and vitamin supplements. Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) are a relatively newer class of medications that stabilise hypoxia inducing factors and promote the production of erythropoietin naturally.

Renal Anemia– Emerging Drugs Profile

AND017

As a part of a multi-center, open-label non-randomized, active-controlled Phase 2 study, this oral drug is under investigation to treat renal anemia. It is sponsored by Kind Pharmaceuticals LLC and is administered to patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis.

FG-2216

Currently, in Phase 2 of an interventional study, FG-2216 is under evaluation for its efficacy and safety to treat patients with renal anemia who are not on dialysis or receiving erythropoietin. The study is sponsored by FibroGen and enrols 145 participants.

Roxadustat

Researchers at the Peking University First Hospital are conducting a Phase 4 multi-center, randomized, controlled study to assess the effect of roxadustate in patients on peritoneal dialysis. It is orally hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) with proven efficacy and safety in prior Phase 3 clinical trials.

PEG-EPO Injection

It is an experimental drug developed by Angde Biotech Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and is being explored for optimal dosage and administration to treat patients with renal anemia. PEG-EPO Injection is in Phase 2 of a multi-center, randomized, open-label, positive controlled clinical study that has an enrollment of 150 participants.
