Brief summary:
This single-arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of monthly administration of SC Mircera for the maintenance of hemoglobin levels in participants with chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis. Participants currently receiving maintenance treatment with SC erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs) will receive monthly SC injections of Mircera, with the starting dose derived from the last weekly ESA they had been receiving.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Participants will receive SC methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera) every 4 weeks for a total of 48 weeks in this single-arm study. The first dose of 120 or 200 micrograms (mcg) will be determined by the dose of ESA received prior to administration of study treatment, while subsequent doses will be adjusted to maintain hemoglobin within the target range.
