Study Groups

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

Cohort A (0.4/150, 1x/ Week)

Eligible participant will be administered RO0503821 (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta \[Mircera\]) SC using a dose conversion factor of 0.4/150 microgram (mcg)/ kilogram (kg) of the previous weekly erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) dose, (equal to 50% assumed equi-effective dose) once weekly up to 19 weeks. After 19 weeks of core treatment period, participants will be followed-up for two optional treatment extension periods (54 weeks each).

Cohort B (0.4/150, 1x/ 3 Weeks)

Eligible participant will be administered RO0503821 SC using a dose conversion factor of 0.4/150 mcg/kg of the previous weekly ESA dose, (equal to 50% assumed equi-effective dose) once every three weeks up to 19 weeks. After 19 weeks of core treatment period, participants will be followed-up for two optional treatment extension periods (54 weeks each).
