About this study

This is a MultiCenter, Randomized, Blinded, Active Drug and Placebo-controlled, Dose-escalated Phase Ib Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of HEC53856 Capsules in Patients With Non-dialysis Renal Anemia. Each part participants will be randomly administrated for HEC53856 or placebo or roxadustat.

The study consisted of three study periods as follows:

Screening period: up to 2 weeks; Treatment period: 8 weeks; Post-Treatment Follow-Up period: 4 weeks.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
