Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Roxadustat
Participants previously randomized to roxadustat will receive roxadustat at the same dose and frequency assigned at the last dose in the previous FibroGen study. Dose adjustments will be implemented (up to a maximum roxadustat dose of 3.0 mg/kg or 400 mg, whichever is lower) every 4 weeks to maintain Hb levels at 10.0-12 grams (g)/deciliter (dL). However, if a participant, at any dose, experiences an event of excessive hematopoiesis then the participant's dose will be immediately reduced, or an event of rapidly declining Hb then the participant's dose will be immediately increased. Participants will be permitted to receive roxadustat for up to 8 years.
