Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percentage of Participants Maintaining Average Hemoglobin (Hb) Concentration Within the Target Range
Percentage of participants who maintained the Hb concentration within target range (between 10.0 and 12.0 grams per deciliter [g/dL]) throughout the treatment period were reported.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Mean Monthly Hb Values
The baseline (reference) hemoglobin was defined as the average of the three assessments recorded during the screening and baseline visits (Week -2, -1, and 0).
Change in Hb Concentration Between Reference and Treatment Period
The baseline (reference) hemoglobin was defined as the average of the three assessments recorded during the screening and baseline visits (Week -2, -1, and 0).
Mean Time Participants Spent Having Hb Concentration Within Target Range
Target Hb concentration was between 10.0 and 12.0 g/dL.
Percentage of Participants Requiring Dose Adjustments
Dose adjustment included: Dose Increase; No Change; and Dose Decreased. Participants who did not have this data available are reported as Not Done. Results are reported for overall treatment arm.

Brief Summary
This open label, single arm study will assess the efficacy for long-term maintenance of haemoglobin levels and the safety and tolerability of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera] in dialysis patients with chronic renal anaemia. Patients on regular long-term haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis will receive monthly subcutaneous or intravenous Mircera for 6 months. Target sample size is <200 patients.
