RO0503821 (1x/2 Weeks)

Eligible participants will be administered with RO0503821 (\[methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta\] {Mircera}) intravenously (IV), every 2 weeks during Weeks 1 through 52. The starting dose of RO0503821 (60, 100, or 180 micro gram \[µg\]) was based on the dose of darbepoetin alfa at the time of randomization (\< 40, 40 to 80, or \> 80 µg per week, respectively).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera]

Intervention Type DRUG

RO0503821 was administered IV, every 2 weeks during Weeks 1 through 52. The starting dose of RO0503821 (60, 100, or 180 micro gram \[µg\]) was based on the dose of darbepoetin alfa at the time of randomization (\< 40, 40 to 80, or \> 80 µg per week, respectively).

Darbepoetin (1x/1-2 Weeks)

Eligible participants will be administered with darbepoetin alfa IV, every week or every 2 weeks during Weeks 1 through 52.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Darbepoetin alfa

Intervention Type DRUG

Darbepoetin alfa was administered IV, every week or every 2 weeks during Weeks 1 through 52.
