Brief Summary

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

This single arm, open label study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta for the treatment of chronic renal anemia in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) secondary to diabetes. Participants who are not on dialysis and not currently treated with erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) will receive methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta subcutaneously every 4 weeks (Q4W). The starting dose of 1.2 microgram/kilogram (mcg/kg) methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta will be adjusted according to hemoglobin levels. Anticipated time on study treatment is 28 weeks.

Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta

Participants will receive 1.2 mcg/kg methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta given in monthly doses at each visit. Dose will be measured on the basis of the participants Hb level during the study period. The dose administration will be the nearest possible dose using the prefilled syringes containing 50, 75 and 100 mcg/kg Q4W.
