“…Conversely, daprodustat demonstrated a dosedependent decrease in hepcidin concentration with a subsequent trend towards baseline during follow-up periods [15,16]. Additionally, daprodustat decreased the concentration of ferritin at all doses, which signifies utilization of iron stores [15,16]. Surrogate markers of pharmacodynamic effects, including EPO, VEGF, and absolute reticulocyte counts, have also exhibited dose-ordered increases over a range of 10 to 100 mg in both Japanese and Caucasian ethnic populations [14].…”
