Study Arms:
- Darbepoetin alfa (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Participants received darbepoetin alfa 500 µg every three weeks (Q3W) for 24 weeks in the double-blind treatment period, and continued to receive darbepoetin alfa 500 µg Q3W during the active treatment period for an additional 48 weeks.
- Placebo (Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR): Participants received placebo subcutaneous injection every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 24 weeks during the double-blind treatment period. From week 25 participants received darbepoetin alfa 500 µg Q3W during the active treatment period for 48 weeks.
