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 monthly administration of intravenous methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (CERA/Mircera) for the maintenance of hemoglobin (Hb) levels in participants on dialysis with chronic renal anemia in routine clinical practice in Hungary. Participants currently receiving maintenance treatment with intravenous epoetin or darbepoetin will receive monthly injections of Mircera, with the starting dose derived from the erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) dose they had been receiving.

Study Groups

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

Mircera in Renal Anemia

Participants with chronic renal anemia previously treated with ESA therapy will receive intravenous Mircera, also known as continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (CERA), every 4 weeks for a total of 52 weeks in this single-arm study. The first dose will be determined by the dose of ESA received prior to administration of study treatment, and subsequent doses will be adjusted to achieve target Hb concentrations.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will receive intravenous CERA/Mircera every month, with starting dose based on previous ESA therapy. Treatment will continue for 52 weeks.
