Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the time to hematopoietic response (hemoglobin correction to 12 g/dL or a greater than or equal to 2 g/dL increase from baseline) for subjects randomized to receive darbepoetin alfa with a front load dosing regimen to those receiving recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) with a weekly dose regimen during the 12-week comparative treatment period.
