Cardiovascular and renal safety outcomes of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitor roxadustat for anemia patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2313864. [PMID: 38345037 PMCID: PMC10863523 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2313864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the cardiac and kidney-related adverse effects of roxadustat for the treatment of anemia in CKD patients. 18 trials with a total of 8806 participants were identified for analysis. We employed a fixed-effects model for analysis. The pooled result revealed no significant difference in the risk of occurrence of cardiac disorders when comparing CKD patients receiving roxadustat with the placebo (RR = 1.049; CI [0.918 to 1.200]) or ESA (RR = 1.066; CI [0.919 to 1.235]), in both dialysis-dependent (DD) (RR = 1.094; CI [0.925 to 1.293]) or non-dialysis-dependent (NDD) (RR = 1.036; CI [0.916 to 1.171]) CKD patients. No significant difference was observed in the risk of kidney-related adverse events when comparing roxadustat with the placebo (RR = 1.088; CI [0.980 to 1.209]) or ESA (RR = 0.968; CI [0.831 to 1.152]), in DD (RR = 2.649; CI [0.201 to 34.981]) or NDD (RR = 1.053; CI [0.965 to 1.149]) CKD patients. A high risk of hyperkalemia was observed in the roxadustat group in DD (RR = 0.939; CI [0.898 to 0.981]). Incidence of hypertension was higher in the roxadustat for NDD patients (RR = 1.198; CI [1.042 to 1.377]), or compared to the placebo (RR = 1.374; CI [1.153 to 1.638]). In summary, the risk of cardiac or kidney-related events observed in the roxadustat was not significantly increase whether in DD or NDD patients. However, attention must be paid to the occurrence of hyperkalemia for DD patients and hypertension in NDD patients using roxadustat.

Cardiac and Kidney Adverse Effects of HIF Prolyl-Hydroxylase Inhibitors for Anemia in Patients With CKD Not Receiving Dialysis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Am J Kidney Dis 2023; 81:434-445.e1. [PMID: 36396085 DOI: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2022.09.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) are novel, orally administered agents for anemia management in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We evaluated the cardiac and kidney-related adverse effects of HIF-PHIs among patients with CKD and anemia. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). SETTING & STUDY POPULATIONS Patients with anemia and CKD not receiving maintenance dialysis. SELECTION CRITERIA FOR STUDIES RCTs comparing HIF-PHIs to placebo or an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) with primary outcomes of cardiac and kidney-related adverse events (AEs). DATA EXTRACTION Two independent reviewers evaluated RCTs for eligibility and extracted relevant data. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Dichotomous variables were pooled using the Mantel-Haenszel method and presented as risk ratios (RRs). Subgroup analyses evaluated different intervention times and HIF-PHIs, as well as phase 2 versus phase 3 trials. The certainty of findings was rated according to GRADE criteria. RESULTS Twenty-three studies with 15,144 participants were included. No significant difference in the risk of cardiac AEs was observed between the HIF-PHIs group and the placebo (RR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.89-1.16]; moderate certainty) or ESA (RR, 1.06 [95% CI, 0.98-1.14]; low certainty) groups. No significant difference in the risk of kidney-related AEs was observed between the HIF-PHIs group and the placebo (RR, 1.09 [95% CI, 0.98-1.20]; moderate certainty) or ESA (RR, 1.00 [95% CI, 0.94-1.06]; low certainty) groups. The occurrence of hypertension and hyperkalemia was higher in the HIF-PHIs group than in the placebo group (RRs of 1.35 [95% CI, 1.14-1.60] and 1.25 [95% CI, 1.03-1.51], respectively; both findings had high certainty). The occurrence of hypertension was lower in the HIF-PHIs group than in the ESA group (RR, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.81-0.98]; moderate certainty). LIMITATIONS The reporting criteria of cardiac and kidney-related AEs and dosage of HIF-PHIs were inconsistent across trials. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of cardiac or kidney-related AEs in the HIF-PHI groups were not different compared with placebo or ESA groups.

[PMID: 36301191 DOI: 10.1210/endrev/bnac025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Tumors driven by deficiency of the VHL gene product, which is involved in degradation of the hypoxia-inducible factor subunit 2 alpha (HIF2α), are natural candidates for targeted inhibition of this pathway. Belzutifan, a highly specific and well-tolerated HIF2α inhibitor, recently received FDA approval for the treatment of nonmetastatic renal cell carcinomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and central nervous system hemangioblastomas from patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease, who carry VHL germline mutations. Such approval is a milestone in oncology; however, the full potential, and limitations, of HIF2α inhibition in the clinic are just starting to be explored. Here we briefly recapitulate the molecular rationale for HIF2α blockade in tumors and review available preclinical and clinical data, elaborating on mutations that might be particularly sensitive to this approach. We also outline some emerging mechanisms of intrinsic and acquired resistance to HIF2α inhibitors, including acquired mutations of the gatekeeper pocket of HIF2α and its interacting partner ARNT. Lastly, we propose that the high efficacy of belzutifan observed in tumors with genetically driven hypoxia caused by VHL mutations suggests that a focus on other mutations that similarly lead to HIF2α stabilization, such as those occurring in neuroendocrine tumors with disruptions in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (SDHA/B/C/D, FH, MDH2, IDH2), HIF hydroxylases (EGLN/PHDs), and the HIF2α-encoding gene, EPAS1, are warranted.

Abstract
Despite much of the past 2 years being engulfed by the devastating consequences of the SAR-CoV-2 pandemic, significant progress, even breathtaking, occurred in the field of chronic myeloid malignancies. Some of this was show-cased at the 15th Post-American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the 25th John Goldman workshops on myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) held on 9th-10th December 2020 and 7th-10th October 2021, respectively. The inaugural Post-ASH MPN workshop was set out in 2006 by John Goldman (deceased) and Tariq Mughal to answer emerging translational hematology and therapeutics of patients with these malignancies. Rather than present a resume of the discussions, this perspective focuses on some of the pivotal translational hematology and therapeutic insights in these diseases.
