Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta
Arm Description
Participants received methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta treatment monthly for 36 weeks with an efficacy evaluation period (EEP) during weeks 29-36 and followed by a 4 week follow-up period.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percentage of Participants Maintaining Average Hemoglobin Concentration During Efficacy Evaluation Period (EEP) Within Target Range
The EEP was week 29 through week 36. The target range for average hemoglobin concentration was 10.0 - 12.0 g/dL.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin Concentration to Efficacy Evaluation Period (EEP)
The mean change Baseline Hemoglobin to the time adjusted average of Hemoglobin during the EEP.
Percentage of Participants Maintaining Hemoglobin Concentrations Within Range of 10-12 Grams/Deciliter (g/dL) Throughout Efficacy Evaluation Period (EEP)
Mean Time Spent in Hemoglobin Range of 10-12 g/dL During Efficacy Evaluation Period (EEP)
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This single arm study assessed the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera), a continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (C.E.R.A.), for correction and/or maintenance of hemoglobin levels in participants with chronic kidney disease and renal anemia, who were not treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) or on dialysis. Eligible participants received monthly subcutaneous injections of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta at an initial recommended dose of 1.2 micrograms/kilogram (mcg/kg). The anticipated time on study treatment was 3-10 months, and the target sample size was 200 individuals.
