Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Change in Hemoglobin Over Time Between Baseline and End of Initial Treatment Based on Individual Regression Slopes

    The primary efficacy variable was blood Hb level and its changes from Baseline (defined as the mean Hb of Screening assessment (SA) (Week -3), Weeks -2 and -1 of the Run-in period) over time during the core treatment period. For each participant, the primary efficacy parameter was the change in hemoglobin level over time based on regression slopes. All values until end-of-initial treatment (EOIT), defined as the last observed value before a dose change or blood transfusion, were included in the calculation of this endpoint. For participants without any dose adjustments, the EOIT value was identical to the value for Week 19.

    From Baseline (Day -28 to Day 1) to EOIT (Week 19)

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Hematocrit Levels at End of Initial Treatment Under Constant Dosing Regimen

    From Baseline (Day -28 to Day 1) to EOIT (Week 19)

  • Reticulocyte Count at End of Initial Treatment Under Constant Dosing Regimen

    From Baseline (Day -28 to Day 1) to EOIT (Week 19)

  • Number of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Events and Any Adverse Events

    Up to Week 125

  • Number of Participants With Marked Laboratory Abnormalities for Blood Chemistry and Electrolytes Over Time

    Up to Week 125

  • Heart Rate Over Time

    Up to Week 125

Study Arms (9)

Cohort 1 (RO0503821, 0.15 mcg/kg 1x/Week)

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible participants will be receiving RO0503821 (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta \[Mircera\]) at a dose of 0.15 microgram per kilogram (mcg/kg) subcutaneously (SC) once every week to complete the dosage of 0.9 mcg/kg up to 6 weeks (Week 1 to Week 6). Participants will be followed-up for one week post the treatment period. During extension Years 1 and 2, the participants will remain at the same frequency of administration as that of core treatment period.

Drug: methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera]

Cohort 2 (RO0503821, 0.3 mcg/kg 1x/Week)

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible participants will be receiving RO0503821 at a dose of 0.3 mcg/kg SC once every week to complete the dosage of 1.8 mcg/kg up to 6 weeks (Week 7 to Week 12). Participants will be followed-up for one week post the treatment period. During extension Years 1 and 2, the participants will remain at the same frequency of administration as that of core treatment period.

Drug: methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera]

Cohort 3 (RO0503821, 0.6 mcg/kg 1x/Week)

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible participants will be receiving RO0503821 at a dose of 0.6 mcg/kg SC once every week, to complete the dosage of 3.6 mcg/kg up to 6 weeks (Week 13 to Week 18). Participants will be followed-up for one week post the treatment period. During extension Years 1 and 2, the participants will remain at the same frequency of administration as that of core treatment period.

Drug: methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera]

Cohort 4 (RO0503821, 0.3 mcg/kg 1x/2 Week)

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible participants will be receiving RO0503821 at a dose of 0.3 mcg/kg SC once every two week, to complete the dosage of 0.9 mcg/kg up to 6 weeks (Week 1 to Week 6). Participants will be followed-up for one week post the treatment period. During extension Years 1 and 2, the participants will remain at the same frequency of administration as that of core treatment period.

Participants will be followed-up for one week post the treatment period. During extension Years 1 and 2, the participants will remain at the same frequency of administration as that of core treatment period.

Drug: methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera]

Cohort 8 (RO0503821, 0.9 mcg/kg 1x/3Week)
