Vadadustat is an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl-hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor used to treat symptomatic anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults on chronic maintenance dialysis. Vadadustat is an inhibitor of HIF-PH, that facilitates increased hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) activity in the absence of hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors responsible for cellular survival under hypoxic conditions. They regulate a number of processes including angiogenesis, cell growth and differentiation, various metabolic processes, and erythropoiesis. Under normoxic conditions, HIFs are degraded via hydroxylation by prolyl-hydroxylase dioxygenases. The increased levels of HIF prompted by vadadustat stimulate endogenous erythropoietin production, increasing iron mobilization and contributing to the gradual rise of hemoglobin (Hb) levels and the correction of iron metabolism. In patients with anemia of CKD, in whom normal erythropoiesis is dysfunctional, this leads to the correction of anemia.
