Study Groups

EPORON

\<Part 1 Treatment Period\> Week 1 to Week 24 Initial Phase (Week 1 to Week 4) : 50 IU/kg of Erythropoietin Alpha, three times a week (3 x 50 IU/kg/week) No dose adjustments will be permitted during the first 4 weeks of the study. Maintenance Phase (Week 5 to Week 24) The dose will be adjusted to maintain Hb levels between 10 and 12 g/dL.

\<Part 2 Treatment Period\> : Week 25 to Week 52 The dose of Erythropoietin Alpha will be adjusted to maintain hemoglobin levels between 10 and 12 g/dL as subcutaneous administration in accordance with the given dosing algorithm. The further details are the same as those for maintenance phase of Part 1 Treatment Period.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Glomerular Filtration Rate \<60 mL/min/1.73m2 (estimated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation)
