Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Peginesatide / Epoetin Alfa
Arm Description
Participants were treated with peginesatide administered intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. Participants were then to be converted back to epoetin alfa administered by IV 3 times a week for 32 weeks.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Mean Hemoglobin Concentration During the Evaluation Period
The hemoglobin concentrations during the evaluation period after the conversion to epoetin alfa were to be averaged for each participant and then summarized over all participants.
No participant reached the evaluation period, therefore, the primary efficacy endpoint could not be evaluated.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Mean Dose of Epoetin Alfa During the Evaluation Period
No participant reached the evaluation period, therefore, this endpoint could not be evaluated.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether hemodialysis patients on peginesatide can be converted to epoetin alfa by using a predefined conversion table while achieving a stable hemoglobin.
Detailed Description
This is a phase 4, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study designed to evaluate whether patients receiving hemodialysis and treated with peginesatide can be converted to epoetin alfa using a predefined conversion table while achieving stable hemoglobin. The study will be conducted in two phases. Hemodialysis patients treated with epoetin alfa 3 times a week (TIW) will first be converted to peginesatide administered every 4 weeks (Q4W). After 24 weeks, these participants will be converted back to epoetin alfa administered TIW for 32 weeks. The primary endpoint will be the mean hemoglobin during the last 8 weeks of the epoetin alfa period.
