NCT00642850

Brief Summary

This single arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of once-monthly administration of intravenous Mircera for the maintenance of hemoglobin levels in dialysis participants with chronic renal anemia. Participants will receive monthly intravenous injections of Mircera, at a starting dose of 120, 200 or 360 micrograms, according to the dose of epoetin administered in the week preceding first study drug administration. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Maintaining Average Hemoglobin Concentration Within +/-1 Gram Per Deciliter (g/dL) of Reference and Within the Target Range

    Percentage of participants maintaining their mean hemoglobin concentration in g/dL within plus or minus (+/-) 1 g/dL of their reference hemoglobin value, and between the target range of 10.0 and 12.0 g/dL during the efficacy evaluation period (EEP). The reference hemoglobin value was defined on the basis of the 5 assessments recorded during the Stability Verification Period (SVP) at Weeks -4, -3, -2, -1 and 0. The mean hemoglobin concentration for each individual participant during the EEP (Week 17 up to Week 24) was estimated as a time adjusted average.

    Week 17 up to Week 24

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Change in Hemoglobin Concentration Between Reference (SVP) and EEP

    Week -4 up to Week -1 and Week 17 up to Week 24

  • Percentage of Participants Maintaining Hemoglobin Concentration Within the Target Range During EEP

    Week 17 up to Week 24

  • Mean Time Spent by Participants With Hemoglobin Concentration in the Target Range During the EEP

    Week 17 up to Week 24

  • Percentage of Participants Requiring Any Dose Adjustment

    Week 1 to Week 16 and Week 17 to Week 24

  • Number of Participants With Red Blood Cell Transfusion During the Study

    Week -4 up to Week 28

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
