On September 20, 2018, our collaboration partner Astellas Pharma Inc. (Astellas) issued a press release in which it announced
results from ALPS, its Phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trial of roxadustat for the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis. As FibroGen has other ongoing Phase 3 studies that are expected to complete shortly, in
order to avoid any bias in the conduct of those studies, particularly as to adjudication of certain event classes, FibroGen has not at this time reviewed the underlying data with respect to the Astellas study. A copy of such press release is
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 8.01 is being
furnished, not filed, pursuant to Regulation FD. Accordingly, the information in Item 8.01 of this report will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless
specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. The furnishing of the information in this report is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by the Company that the information in this report
is material or complete, or that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision with respect to any security of the Company.
