What is Evrenzo?

Evrenzo is manufactured by Astellas Pharma Inc, Fibrogen. Despite FDA rejection, based on cardiovascular disease risks such as blood clots and deaths, the European Commission has approved Evrenzo for adult patients with symptomatic anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both non-dialysis dependent (NDD) and dialysis-dependent (DD) adult patients.

Approval in the European Union follows the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) opinion to authorize roxadustat based on results from a Phase III open-label study.

Results from this study showed that roxadustat was effective in achieving and maintaining target Hb levels in CKD patients with symptomatic anaemia irrespective of dialysis status and of previous ESA treatment. The safety profile of roxadustat reflects that of the CKD populations studied and is comparable to ESAs. Roxadustat is approved for use in EU member states, the EEA, as well as in Japan, China, Chile, and South Korea.

It is important to note that patients treated with erythropoietin (EPO)/erythropoiesisstimulating agent (ESA, a medicine that promotes the production of red blood cells) and whose hemoglobin levels are consistent should not be switched to Evrenzo without consulting with a healthcare professional first.

What doses of Evrenzo are available?

Evrenzo is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 20 mg, 50 mg, 70 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
