Brief Summary

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

This single-arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) Mircera when administered for the maintenance of hemoglobin (Hb) levels in participants with chronic renal anemia. Individuals currently receiving maintenance treatment with epoetin alfa or darbepoetin alfa will receive monthly injections of Mircera, with the starting dose (120, 200, or 360 micrograms \[mcg\] IV injection) derived from the dose of epoetin alfa or darbepoetin alfa they were receiving in the week preceding study start.

Study Groups

Mircera in Renal Anemia

Participants with chronic renal anemia who have been previously treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) therapy will receive IV Mircera every 4 weeks for a total of 24 weeks in this single-arm study. The first dose of 120, 200, or 360 mcg will be determined by the dose of ESA received prior to administration of study treatment. Subsequent doses will be adjusted to maintain Hb concentrations within target of 10.5 and 12.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will receive a starting dose of 120, 200, or 360 mcg via IV injection. Thereafter, the once-monthly dose will be titrated to achieve target Hb concentrations.
