Conditions: Anemia
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 184
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Mircera for correction of anemia in participants with chronic kidney disease who are not treated with erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) and not on dialysis. Eligible participants will receive Mircera by monthly subcutaneous injections. The initial dose, based on body weight, will be 1.2 micrograms/kilogram (mcg/kg). The anticipated time on study treatment is 9-11 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta will be administered subcutaneously once a month. The starting dose will be 1.2 mcg/kg of body weight. Further dose adjustments will be performed during the study depending on the hemoglobin value. Total duration of treatment will be 9 months for all participants in the study and up to 11 months for participants who will be shifted to the dialysis.
