Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* a documented hemoglobin level to be less than 10 g/dL at screening
* diagnoses of CKD 4 or 5
* body mass index (BMI) between 18 kg/m2 and 42 kg/m2, inclusive, based upon the height and weight at screening
* ferritin levels ≥100 ng/ml or Tsat ≥20% at screening
* erythropoietin (EPO) level greater than 8 ng/mL
* able to provide written informed consent
* able to understand and follow all trial procedures
* willing to use contraception as detailed in the protocol

Exclusion Criteria

* receipt of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion within four weeks before screening
* overt gastrointestinal bleeding or other bleeding episode that required transfusion within 2 months prior to screening
* infection necessitating antibiotic or anti-viral treatment within a month prior to screening
* requiring Coumadin (warfarin), Pradaxa®, Eliquis®, or Xarelto®
* hemoglobinopathies such as homozygous sickle-cell disease or thalassemias of all types
* active hemolysis or chronic hypoxia
* active malignant diseases (except non-melanoma skin cancer) or life expectancy less than 6 months
* chronic, uncontrolled or symptomatic inflammatory disease or non-renal cause of anemia such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, HIV, or systemic acute infection
* on immunosuppressive therapeutics except topical corticosteroids or nasal sprays
* chronic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III, IV)
* significant hypertension (≥90 diastolic) based on a sitting diastolic blood pressure at screening
* kidney transplant within the past year: patients who are off immunosuppressive agents following a failed transplant are eligible for the trial
* end-stage liver disease
* known hypersensitivity to recombinant protein therapies
* female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding
* previous exposure to FMX-8
* previous exposure to Epogen®, Procrit® (erythropoietin) Aranesp® (darbepoietin alpha), Omontys® or Hematide® (peginesatide) anemia treatment
* uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism (PTH \>750) based upon latest PTH determination within the past 4 months
* inability to comply with the trial scheduled visits
