Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether hemodialysis patients on peginesatide can be converted to epoetin alfa by using a predefined conversion table while achieving a stable hemoglobin.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a phase 4, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study designed to evaluate whether patients receiving hemodialysis and treated with peginesatide can be converted to epoetin alfa using a predefined conversion table while achieving stable hemoglobin. The study will be conducted in two phases. Hemodialysis patients treated with epoetin alfa 3 times a week (TIW) will first be converted to peginesatide administered every 4 weeks (Q4W). After 24 weeks, these participants will be converted back to epoetin alfa administered TIW for 32 weeks. The primary endpoint will be the mean hemoglobin during the last 8 weeks of the epoetin alfa period.
