Title: An Open-label, Multicenter, Randomized Study to Determine Dose Conversion Factors at Different Frequencies of Administration After Switching From Maintenance Treatment With Subcutaneous Epoetin Alfa or Beta to Maintenance Treatment With Subcutaneous RO0503821 in Dialysis Patients With Chronic Renal Anemia
Brief Summary: This study will determine the appropriate dose and frequency of administration of sc Mircera maintenance therapy in dialysis patients with chronic renal anemia who were previously receiving sc epoetin alfa or beta. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
