About this trial

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of QLG1218(daprodustat) following a switch from erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) in Chinese HD subjects with renal anemia who are currently treated with ESA. The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of QLG1218 to darbepoetin alfa. This study is a randomized, open Label, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center Study. The total duration of the study will be approximately 32 weeks including screening and follow-up.
