Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hemoglobin maintenance using FG-4592 dosing regimen in ESRD subjects. Number of subjects who hemoglobin levels are maintained at no lower than 0.5 g/dL below their mean baseline value during weeks 6 and 7.

    Week 7

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number (%) of subjects whose hemoglobin levels are between 9.0 and 13.0 g/dL at Weeks 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

    Week 7

  • Number (%) of subjects whose hemoglobin levels at Weeks 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are greater than or equal to their baseline level.
