AstraZeneca expects to begin first deliveries of the University of Oxford’s vaccine in September 2020
(PRESS RELEASE) CAMBRIDGE, 5-Jun-2020 — /EuropaWire/ — British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca announced it will present new data across continuum of care from its broad renal portfolio during the 57th virtual congress of the European Renal Association – European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) between 6 and 9 June 2020.
The 20 abstracts being presented, including four oral presentations, will include data on Lokelma (sodium zirconium cyclosilicate), roxadustat and Farxiga (dapagliflozin) across different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and AstraZeneca’s ongoing commitment to exploring treatment options across the full continuum of renal care.
Ruud Dobber, Executive Vice President, BioPharmaceuticals Business Unit, said: “More than 700 million people around the world are affected by chronic kidney disease, a progressive condition, for which no cure currently exists. Our data at ERA-EDTA demonstrate advances across all stages of the disease, from prevention and protection, to slowing progression and managing serious complications.”
Advancing treatment of hyperkalaemia for CKD patients, including those on dialysis
AstraZeneca will present a series of sub-analyses from the Lokelma Phase IIIb DIALIZE trial reinforcing the effectiveness of this medicine to manage hyperkalaemia in patients with CKD on haemodialysis, irrespective of factors such as sex, country, age, weight or disease severity.1,2
Hyperkalaemia is a common complication in patients with CKD, and can result in serious arrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest, paralysis and weakness, and even death.3,4 Beyond DIALIZE, real-world evidence will be presented showing that the number of cardiovascular (CV) or renal comorbidities increases the risk of hyperkalaemia in patients with CKD, highlighting the need for effective prevention and treatment.5
Evaluating efficacy and safety of treatment for anaemia CKD patients
Results will be presented from a Phase III trial assessing roxadustat versus darbepoetin alfa for the treatment of anaemia in CKD patients not on dialysis. A prespecified analysis from an additional Phase III trial will also be presented, assessing the ophthalmological/retinal effects of roxadustat in the treatment of anaemia in dialysis-dependent CKD patients compared to darbepoetin alfa.6
AstraZeneca and FibroGen are collaborating on the development and commercialisation of roxadustat for the potential treatment of anaemia in the US, China and other markets in the Americas and in Australia/New Zealand, as well as Southeast Asia. Astellas and FibroGen are collaborating on the development and commercialisation of roxadustat for the potential treatment of anaemia in territories including Japan, Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East and South Africa. Astellas sponsored both trials and will be presenting these data.
Showing the need for improved treatments for CKD patients with real-world evidence
AstraZeneca continues to investigate opportunities to enable earlier intervention in CKD, since globally the disease is underdiagnosed, and patients may not realise they have the disease until it has advanced.7,8
At the congress, new analyses of real-world data on type-2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients with CKD will be presented which demonstrate a need for additional treatment options to improve adverse renal, CV and mortality outcomes and reduce the burden on patients and healthcare systems.9,10
Furthermore, a real-world analysis of the DISCOVER-CKD trial will be shared showing a high prevalence of type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure in patients with CKD, demonstrating the high comorbidity burden in this group for whom new therapies may be beneficial.11
