Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:~* Participant must be at least 18 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.~* Participants who are Stage 3, 4 or 5 CKD defined by estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula.~* Hemoglobin as measured by HemoCue at screening visit and Day 1 is \<=11.0 grams/deciliter (g/dL) \[\<=110 gram/Litre (g/L)\].~* Palpable brachial artery as assessed at screening.~* Participants, if necessary may be on stable maintenance oral iron supplementation (\<50% change in overall dose and compliance of 80% of prescribed doses in the 4 weeks prior to and including the screening period). If participants have been on intravenous (IV) iron, then participants will not have received IV iron for 4 weeks prior to the Day 1 visit.~* Male or female participants will be included.~* A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or a WOCBP who has been on an approved form of contraceptive for the 4 weeks prior to Day 1 and agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance until the Follow-up visit.~* Capable of giving signed informed consent.~Exclusion Criteria:~* On dialysis or clinical evidence of impending need to initiate dialysis within 12 weeks of Day 1.~* Planned kidney transplant within 12 weeks of Day 1.~* Presence of an arteriovenous (AV) fistula.~* Recombinant human erythropoietin use within the 12 weeks prior to the screening visit and through Day 1.~* History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions or hypersensitivity to the study treatment or challenge agents, or excipients in the study treatments or challenge agents.~* Planned use of any prescription or non-prescription drugs or dietary supplements that are prohibited from screening until all assessments on Day 42 have been successfully completed.~* The participant has participated in a clinical trial and has received an experimental investigational product within the prior 30 days or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product (whichever is longer) prior to screening and through Day 1.~* At or below the lower limit of the reference range at screening for Vitamin B12 (may rescreen in a minimum of 8 weeks).~* Ferritin \<=50 nanograms/milliliter \[\<=50 microgram/liter (µg/L)\] at screening.~* Transferrin saturation (TSAT) \<=15% (0.15) at screening.~* Folate \<2.0 nanogram/milliliter (4.5 nanomoles/liter; may rescreen in a minimum of 8 weeks) at screening.~* High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) \>=50 micrograms/milliliter (\>=50 mg/L) at screening.~* Myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome \<=12 weeks prior to screening and through Day 1.~* Hospitalization for greater than 24 hours \<=12 weeks prior to screening and through Day 1.~* Stroke or transient ischemic attack \<=12 weeks prior to screening and through Day 1.~* Class 4 heart failure, as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system.~* Resting SBP \>180 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or DBP \>110 mmHg at screening visit or current uncontrolled hypertension as determined by the investigator.~* QT interval corrected for heart rate using Bazett's formula (QTcB) \>500 milliseconds (msec), or QTcB \>530 msec in participants with bundle branch block. There is no corrected QT (QTc) exclusion for participants with a predominantly ventricular paced rhythm.~* Active chronic inflammatory disease that could impact erythropoiesis.~* History of bone marrow aplasia or pure red cell aplasia.~* Conditions, other than anemia of CKD, which can affect erythropoiesis.~* Evidence of actively bleeding gastric, duodenal, or esophageal ulcer disease or clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding from \<=8 weeks prior to screening and through Day 1.~* ALT \>2 times upper limit of normal (ULN; screening only).~* Bilirubin \>1.5 times ULN (screening only); Isolated bilirubin \>1.5 times ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin \<35%~* Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).~* Major surgery within the 12 weeks prior to screening and through Day 1, or planned during the study.~* Anticipated or planned vascular access surgery (i.e., arteriovenous \[AV\] fistula) within the 12 weeks prior to screening and through the Day 42 assessments.~* Received a tissue heart valve replacement or repair within the 6 months prior to screening or has received a mechanical heart valve replacement.~* Blood transfusion within 6 weeks prior to screening and through Day 1, or an anticipated need for blood transfusion during the study.~* Clinical evidence of an acute infection, or history of infection requiring IV antibiotic therapy from 8 weeks prior to screening and through Day 1. Prophylactic oral antibiotics are allowed.~* History of malignancy within the two years prior to screening and through Day 1 or currently receiving treatment for cancer, with the exception of localized squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin definitively treated 12 weeks prior to Day 1.~* Platelet count \<50,000/µL (\<50 Giga cells per liter).~* History of a bleeding disorder (e.g., hemophilia).~* Any other condition, clinical or laboratory abnormality, or examination finding that the investigator considers would put the participant at unacceptable risk, which may affect study compliance or prevent understanding of the aims or investigational procedures or possible consequences of the study.
