Measure
Mircera
Participants received Mircera (epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol) 80, 120, 200, or 360 micrograms (mcg) (based on the weekly dose of erythropoiesis stimulating agent \[ESA\] participant received in the week preceding the switch to Mircera \[Week -1\]) by intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) injection once monthly for a total of 32 weeks. Doses were adjusted, if required, based on hemoglobin (Hb) level. This arm includes participants enrolled at all 3 centers.
