Pegmolesatide Treatment for Anemia in Patients Undergoing Long-term Dialysis

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Aged ≥18 years and ≤80 years, with no restrictions on gender.

2. Body weight ≥40 kg and body mass index (BMI) ≥18 kg/m².

3. Subjects who have received hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis for ≥3 months priorto enrollment;

4. Subjects who have been receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) for ≥4weeks prior to randomization, with an average weekly dose >6000 IU in the last 4weeks (equivalent dose converted to short-acting EPO >6000 IU, calculated as thetotal amount of short-acting EPO used in the last 4 weeks divided by 4);

5. The most recent Hb value during the screening period and the average Hb valuebetween screening and baseline visits must be ≥70 to <110 g/L;

6. Hemodialysis patients with serum ferritin levels ≥200 μg/L; peritoneal dialysispatients with serum ferritin levels ≥100 μg/L, and the investigator determines thatrenal transplant is not required during the trial;

7. Understanding the study procedures and voluntarily signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known to have active malignancy, polycystic kidney disease, hematologic disorders (including congenital and acquired anemias such as thalassemia, Fanconi anemia, purered cell aplasia, myelodysplastic syndromes, hemolytic anemia, and coagulationdisorders), or other causes of anemia (such as gastrointestinal bleeding or hookwormdisease);

2. Known to have experienced stroke, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction,thromboembolic events (deep vein thrombosis), pulmonary embolism, or other seriouscardiopulmonary diseases within the past 6 months;

3. Received anabolic steroid (e.g., androgen) therapy within 12 weeks prior torandomization;

4. Known to have received red blood cell or whole blood transfusion within 12 weeksprior to the study.

5. History of significant infection within 4 weeks before randomization as determinedby the investigator.

6. Confirmed blood pressure measurements at rest and in a conscious state usingstandard measurement methods, with at least three non-consecutive day readingsreaching or exceeding systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥180 mmHg and/or diastolic bloodpressure (DBP) ≥110 mmHg within 4 weeks before enrollment, or changes inantihypertensive medication treatment. The primary basis for judgment isclinic-measured blood pressure values, but "white coat hypertension" should beexcluded.

7. Known allergy to iron agents or polyethylene glycol.

8. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, women of childbearing age with a positive blood β-HCG test result before the trial, or those planning to become pregnant during thestudy period.

9. Scheduled for elective surgery during the trial period.

10. Presence of any other factors that the investigator deems unsuitable forparticipation in this trial.
