Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in Hemoglobin (Hb) Concentration From Baseline to the Evaluation Period
The baseline hemoglobin will be calculated as the arithmetic mean of hemoglobin values obtained at screening and at Visit 1. The final hemoglobin value during the evaluation period will be calculated as the arithmetic mean of hemoglobin values obtained at Week 21 and Week 23.
Secondary Outcome Measures
The Proportion of Patients Who Developed AEs/SAEs That, in the Investigator's Opinion, Are Related to BCD-131
The proportion of patients, in each group, who developed СТСАЕ v. 4.03 Grade 3-4 AEs that, in the Investigator's opinion, are related to BCD-131
- the proportion of patients, in each group, who discontinued the study due to AEs/SAEs
The Proportion of BAb- and NAb-positive Patients
Blood sampling for immunogenicity assessment (BAbs and NAbs) will be performed in all the patients included in the study before the first injection and then at Week 9 and Week 23.
The immunogenicity endpoints will be analyzed after the completion of all periods of the study.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
BCD-131 is pegylated darbepoetin beta. BCD-131-2 is International Multicenter Randomized Open-Label Comparative Study (Phase II) of the Efficacy and Safety of BCD-131 and Mircera in Treatment of Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Dialysis.
Detailed Description
The hypothesis of the study is that the efficacy of BCD-131 is equivalent to that of Mircera® based on the analysis of the primary endpoint (changes in the Hb level over the period of evaluation as compared to the baseline Hb level ) during the 21-week period of treatment.
This study is a study of the maintenance treatment of anemia. The study will include up to 100 dialysis patients with stage 5D chronic kidney disease, established efficacy of dialysis and renal anemia without other causes of anemia, receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) and reaching target hemoglobin levels.
