The higher the dose of daprodustat, the more significant impact on efficacy outcomes such as serum total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), hemoglobin, and ferritin. However, the safety profile of different doses of daprodustat still needs further investigation.
(1) Background: Anemia affects about 40% of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Daprodustat improves serum hemoglobin in anemic patients by inhibiting prolyl hydroxylase of hypoxia-inducible factor. We conducted a network meta-analysis to investigate the direct and indirect effects of different doses of daprodustat compared to each other and erythropoietin and placebo. (2) Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus, for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reporting data about different doses of daprodustat for anemia in nondialysis of CKDs. (3) Results: We eventually included five RCTs with a total sample size of 4566 patients. We found that the higher the dose of daprodustat, the greater the change in serum total iron binding capacity (TIBC), hemoglobin, and ferritin from baseline. Compared to placebo, daprodustat 25-30 mg was associated with the highest significant increase in serum hemoglobin (MD = 3.27, 95% CI = [1.89; 4.65]), a decrease in serum ferritin (MD = -241.77, 95% CI = [-365.45; -118.09]) and increase in serum TIBC (MD = 18.52, 95% CI = [12.17; 24.87]). (4) Conclusion: Higher daprodustat doses were associated with a higher impact on efficacy outcomes as serum total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), hemoglobin, and ferritin. However, data about the safety profile of different doses of daprodustat is still missing.
