Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Cohort 7 (RO0503821, 0.45 mcg/kg 1x/3 Week)

Eligible participants will be receiving RO0503821 at a dose of 0.45 mcg/kg SC once every three 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.

Eligible participants will be receiving RO0503821 at a dose of 0.9 mcg/kg SC once every three 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.
