Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate whether anemia prevention with NeoRecormon has an additional impact on reducing cardiovascular risk over conventional anemia treatment in patients mostly with stage IV chronic kidney disease and renal anemia. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.

Study Groups

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

Early Epoetin Beta Therapy

Participants received immediate epoetin beta therapy starting at 2000 IU, subcutaneously once weekly up to four years to reach a target Hb level of 13-15 g/dL; with an individual Hb increase of at least 2 g/dL within approximately 3 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

epoetin beta [NeoRecormon]

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants in the early treatment group immediately started epoetin beta treatment to reach a target Hb level of 13-15 g/dL at the end of the correction phase.

Late Epoetin Beta Therapy

Participants received epoetin beta treatment starting at 2000 IU, subcutaneously once weekly up to four years only when a decline in Hb levels to \<10.5 g/dL had occurred in order to reach a target Hb of 10.5-11.5 g/dL.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

epoetin beta [NeoRecormon]

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants in the late treatment Group started epoetin beta treatment once a decline in Hb level to \<10.5 g/dL had occurred.
