Abstract
- Daprodustat is a prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor that stimulates erythropoiesis in a manner similar to the natural response to hypoxia, whereby inhibition of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) prolyl‐4‐hydroxylases by daprodustat ultimately results in increased levels of HIF‐responsive genes. Daprodustat is under development as an emerging new class of agents for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This was a single‐center, single‐dose, open‐label, randomized, 2‐way crossover study in healthy Japanese male participants consisting of 2 parts. The primary objective was to evaluate the bioequivalence (BE) between daprodustat tablet strengths (part 1) and to evaluate the food effect on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of daprodustat (part 2). A total of 64 healthy Japanese male participants were enrolled; 52 participants were included in part 1 and 12 in part 2. BE was demonstrated between the daprodustat 2‐mg tablet and the daprodustat 4‐mg tablet. A standard CKD meal did not have a large effect on the PK parameters of daprodustat after a single oral dose of daprodustat 4 mg. Administration of single oral doses of daprodustat 4 mg was generally well tolerated in the healthy Japanese participants, and no new safety signals were identified without regard to food.
