- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "FibroGen, Inc. is a research-based biotechnology company. It is focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of therapeutic agents for treatment of anemia, fibrosis, cancer, and other serious unmet medical needs. The Company develops Roxadustat that is in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease; and FG-3019 which is in Phase II clinical development for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, and liver fibrosis.

- 2. Mizuho analysts commented, "We believe efficacy data is likely to be a non-event in 4Q18. But we believe MACE will be share-moving. We believe roxadustat can achieve superiority vs. epoetin alfa in the DD patient population, given encouraging mortality rate observed in recent studies vs. much higher historical rates with epoetin alfa. In NDD, we believe the bar is higher (comparing to placebo) but showing non-inferiority is possible (more below)." (12/17/2018)
