Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
The Company	1. The Company FibroGen, Inc. (“FibroGen” or the “Company”) was incorporated in 1993 in Delaware and are headquartered in San Francisco, California, with subsidiary offices in Beijing and Shanghai, People’s Republic of China (“China”). FibroGen is a leading biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing a pipeline of first-in-class therapeutics. The Company applies its pioneering expertise in hypoxia-inducible factor (“HIF”), connective tissue growth factor (“CTGF”) biology, and clinical development to advance innovative medicines for the treatment of anemia, fibrotic disease, and cancer. Roxadustat, FibroGen’s most advanced product, is an oral small molecule inhibitor of HIF prolyl hydroxylase (“HIF-PH”) activity that has received marketing authorization in China for the treatment of anemia caused by chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) in dialysis and non-dialysis patients. In September 2019, roxadustat (Evrenzo®) was approved in Japan for the treatment of anemia associated with CKD in dialysis-dependent patients. In January 2020, Astellas Pharma Inc. (“Astellas”) submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (“NDA”) in Japan for the treatment of anemia in non-dialysis CKD patients. The Company’s U.S. NDA filing for roxadustat for the treatment of anemia patients with dialysis-dependent CKD and non-dialysis-dependent CKD was accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in February, 2020, and Astellas is in the process of preparing a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) for submission to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) in the second quarter of 2020 for the same indications. Roxadustat is in Phase 3 clinical development in the U.S. and Europe and in Phase 2/3 development in China for anemia associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (“MDS”). Roxadustat is in Phase 2 clinical development for chemotherapy-induced anemia. Pamrevlumab, an anti-CTGF human monoclonal antibody, is in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of both idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”) and pancreatic cancer. Pamrevlumab is also currently in a Phase 2 trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”).
