E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of 5 repeated intravenous administrations of PRS-080#022-DP at 4 and 8 mg/kg BW in anemic stage 5 CKD patients requiring hemodialysis. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study are: - to determine the pharmacokinetics of PRS-080#022-DP associated with 5 repeated administrations - to evaluate the effect of 5 repeated PRS-080#022-DP administrations on plasma Hb concentrations - to evaluate the effect of 5 repeated PRS-080#022-DP administrations on pharmacodynamic parameters including serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), reticulocyte hemoglobin (RetHb), and reticulocyte count (Ret) - to evaluate the effect of 5 repeated PRS-080#022-DP administrations on hepcidin plasma levels - to collect data on immunogenicity associated with 5 repeated PRS-080#022-DP administrations |

The patient is legally competent, has been informed of the nature, the scope and the relevance of the study, voluntarily agrees to participation and the study’s provisions, and has duly signed the informed consent form (ICF). Patient agrees to comply with the protocol-mandated procedures and visits. |
