Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Mean Change in Hemoglobin From Baseline and Over the Evaluation Period (Mean Over Week 24 and 28) [Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 to Week 28]

    Blood samples were collected at given time points from participants for hemoglobin measurements. Evaluation period hemoglobin value was defined as the mean of all available post-randomization hemoglobin values (on and off-treatment) during the evaluation period (Week 24 to Week 28 inclusive). For the primary analysis, the missing post-Baseline hemoglobin values were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputations. Change from Baseline was defined as the average of post-randomization values during the evaluation period minus Baseline value. Baseline value was the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. Analysis was performed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with terms for treatment, Baseline hemoglobin, and region.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants With Hemoglobin Increase of >=1.0 Grams Per Deciliter From Baseline to Evaluation Period [Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 to Week 28]

    Blood samples were collected at given time points for hemoglobin measurements. Evaluation period hemoglobin value was defined as the mean of all available post-randomization hemoglobin values (on and off-treatment) during the evaluation period (Week 24 to Week 28 inclusive). For the primary analysis, the missing post-Baseline hemoglobin values were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputations. Baseline value was the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. Percentage of participants with hemoglobin increase of >=1.0 grams per deciliter from Baseline to evaluation period was analyzed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) chi-squared test. The percentage values presented has been rounded off.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Mean Change in Hemoglobin From Baseline and Over the Evaluation Period (Mean Over Week 24 and 28)
Description Blood samples were collected at given time points from participants for hemoglobin measurements. Evaluation period hemoglobin value was defined as the mean of all available post-randomization hemoglobin values (on and off-treatment) during the evaluation period (Week 24 to Week 28 inclusive). For the primary analysis, the missing post-Baseline hemoglobin values were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputations. Change from Baseline was defined as the average of post-randomization values during the evaluation period minus Baseline value. Baseline value was the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. Analysis was performed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with terms for treatment, Baseline hemoglobin, and region.
Time Frame Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 to Week 28

3. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Short Form-36 (SF-36) Questionnaire Vitality Domain Score by Traditional Scoring at Week 28
Description The SF-36 acute version 2 is a 36-item generic quality of life instrument designed to measure a participant's level of performance in the 8 health domains: Physical Functioning, Role-Physical (role limitations caused by physical problems), Social Functioning, Bodily Pain, Mental Health, Role-Emotional (role limitations caused by emotional problems), Vitality, and General Perception of Health.Each domain is scored from 0 (poorer health) to 100 (better health). Vitality domain score ranges from 0-100; higher score indicates a better health state & better functioning. Change from Baseline was calculated as Post-Dose Visit Value at Week 28 minus Baseline. For primary analysis, the missing on-treatment Week 28 SF-36 Vitality domain scores were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputations. Baseline value was latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before randomization date. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA model with terms for treatment, Baseline score, and region.

Description The EQ-5D-5L is a self-assessment questionnaire, consisting of 5 items covering 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). Each dimension is measured by a 5-point Likert scale (1: no problems, 2: slight problems, 3: moderate problems, 4: severe problems, and 5: extreme problems). The responses for the five dimension together form a five-figure description of health state. Each of these five-figure health states have attached valuation (utility score), expressed as single index on a scale from 0-1, where 1 is full health and 0 is worst health. The higher the score the better the health status. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline.

20. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) Score
Description The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labeled 'the best health you can imagine' and 'the worst health you can imagine' at the time of completion. It is a self-assessment visual analogue scale, ranging from 0=worst imaginable to 100=best. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline. Baseline value was the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date.

Adverse Events

Time Frame All cause mortality, serious adverse events (SAEs) and non-serious AEs were collected up to follow-up (Week 32).
Adverse Event Reporting Description Safety Population comprised of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment. Treatment emergent non-serious adverse events and serious adverse events are reported. One participant who was randomized to placebo accidently received daprodustat during the study and therefore was evaluated in the daprodustat treatment group for the safety outcomes
Arm/Group Title Placebo Daprodustat
Arm/Group Description Participants received matching placebo once daily orally for up to 28 weeks followed by 4 weeks of follow-up. Participants received daprodustat tablets with titrated dose levels ranging from 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 milligrams (mg) once daily orally for up to 28 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of follow-up.
