Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Three-times Weekly Dosing of GSK1278863 in Hemodialysis-dependent Subjects With Anemia Associated With Chronic Kidney Disease Who Are Switched From a Stable Dose of an Erythropoiesis-stimulating Agent

Plain-language summary
GSK1278863 is an orally available, hypoxia-inducible factor - prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, currently being investigated as a treatment for anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. GSK1278863 has been given as a once daily regimen in clinical studies to date. However, physicians in countries that use a three-times weekly hemodialysis schedule prefer to give the anemia medicine at the same time as the dialysis session. This study will test how well GSK1278863 can maintain hemoglobin levels when given three-times weekly, for 29 days.
This study will describe the relationship between hemoglobin and GSK1278863 given three-times weekly. The data from this study will allow for conversion of once daily doses to three-times weekly doses.

Inclusion Criteria:
* More than or equal to 18 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent.
* Hemoglobin: Stable Hemoglobin 9.0 - 11.5 gram per deciliter (g/dL).
* Dialysis frequency: On hemodialysis (HD, hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration) three to five times weekly for at least 4 weeks prior to Day -28 Screening through Day 29.
* Dialysis adequacy: A single pool Kt/Vurea of \>=1.2 based on a historical value obtained within the prior three months in order to ensure the adequacy of dialysis. If Kt/Vurea is not available, then an average of the last 2 values of urea reduction ratio (URR) of at least 65 percent. NOTE: Only needs confirming at Day -28.
* Erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA)dose: Treated with the same ESA (epoetins or their biosimilars, or darbepoetin or methoxy polyethylene glycol \[PEG\]-epoetin beta) with total weekly dose varying by no more than 50 percent during the 4 weeks prior to Day -28.
* Iron replacement therapy: Subjects may be on stable maintenance oral or intravenous (IV) (\<=100 milligram (mg)/week) iron supplementation. If subjects are on oral or IV iron, then doses must be stable for the 4 weeks prior to Day -28, during the screening phase, and through the 29 days of treatment.
* Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form and in study protocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Dialysis modality: Planned change from HD to peritoneal dialysis within…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
