    From week 30 to 36

  • Hb level

    Baseline and up to 52 weeks

  • Change in Hb level

    Baseline and up to 52 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Molidustat (BAY85-3934)

EXPERIMENTAL

Molidustat group

Drug: Molidustat (BAY85-3934)

Darbepoetin alfa

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Darbepoetin alfa group

Drug: Darbepoetin alfa

Interventions

Starting dose of 25 mg or 50 mg molidustat once daily (OD) will be titrated based on the subject's Hb response

Molidustat (BAY85-3934)

Starting dose and frequency of darbepoetin alfa are based on previous ESA. The dose will be titrated based on the subject's Hb response

Darbepoetin alfa

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)\< 60 mL/min/1.73m\^2 (Chronic kidney disease \[CKD\] stages 3 to 5)
  • Have used the same ESA for 8 weeks prior to screening
  • Treated with darbepoetin alfa with bi-weekly or monthly dose, epoetin beta pegol with monthly, OR epoetin alfa/beta weekly or bi-weekly, and having had no more than one dose change within 8 weeks prior to randomization
  • Body weight \> 40 and ≤ 160 kg at screening
  • Male or female subject ≥ 20 years of age at screening
  • Not on dialysis and not expected to start dialysis during the study period
  • Mean screening Hb level ≥ 10.0 and \< 13.0 g/dL (mean of all central laboratory Hb levels \[at least 2 measurements must be taken ≥ 2 days apart\] during the 8-week screening period, AND all Hb level must be measured by the central laboratory, AND the difference between the lowest level and highest level is \< 1.2 g/dL), with the last screening Hb level measurement within 14 days prior to randomization
  • Ferritin ≥ 100 ng/mL or Transferrin saturation ≥ 20%

You may not qualify if:

  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure
  • History of cardio- (cerebro-) vascular events (e.g., unstable angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, pulmonary thromboembolism, and acute limb ischemia) within 6 months prior to randomization
  • Sustained and poorly controlled arterial hypertension (defined as systolic BP (blood pressure)≥ 180mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 110mmHg) or hypotension (defined as systolic BP \< 90mmHg) at randomization
  • Proliferative choroidal or retinal disease, such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration or proliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring invasive treatment (e.g., intraocular injections or laser photocoagulation)
