RO0503821 (1x/2 Weeks)

Participants received RO0503821 (Mircera \[methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta\]) once every two weeks intravenously for 52 weeks. Participants received a starting dose of RO0503821 (60, 100, or 180 microgram \[mcg\]) that was based on the Epoetin dose (\<8000, 8000-16000, \>16000 International units \[IU\]/Week) administered during the week preceding the switch to the study drug.
