After the market closed on Apr. 6, 2021, FibroGen admitted that the primary cardiovascular safety analysis of its roxadustat Phase 3 program for the treatment of anemia of chronic kidney disease included post-hoc changes to the stratification factors. The analysis with the post-hoc stratification factors resulted in higher hazard ratios. The company ultimately admitted it now "cannot conclude that roxadustat reduces the risk of (or is superior to) MACE+ in dialysis, and MACE and MACE+ in incident dialysis compared to epoetin-alfa."

On this news, FibroGen's stock price fell $14.90 per share, or 43%, to close at $19.74 per share on April 7, 2021. To obtain additional information, go to:
