A Study of Subcutaneous Mircera for the Maintenance Treatment of Anemia in Participants With Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis

Summary

This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of monthly administration of subcutaneous methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera) when administered for the maintenance of hemoglobin levels in participants with chronic renal anemia, not on dialysis. Participants currently receiving treatment with subcutaneous epoetin or darbepoetin alfa will receive monthly subcutaneous injections of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta, with the starting dose (120 or 200 micrograms) calculated from the last weekly dose of epoetin beta or darbepoetin alfa previously administered.
