A Study of Intravenous (iv) Mircera in Hemodialysis Patients With Chronic Renal Anemia

Median Change From Baseline in Hematocrit Levels to End of Initial Treatment Under Constant Dosing Regimen

Median change from Baseline in hematocrit (Hct) levels to end of initial treatment under constant dosing regimen was reported. Baseline (Day -28 to Day 1) Hct values was calculated as the mean of the SA and run-in period (Weeks -2 and -1). For all participants, an EOIT value was calculated as the last observed Hct value before a dose change or blood transfusion. For participants without any dose adjustments or blood transfusion, the EOIT value was identical to the Week 19 value.

Time frame: From Baseline (Day -28 to Day 1) to EOIT (Week 19)

Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events, Any Serious Adverse Events, And Deaths

An Adverse Events (AEs) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is a significant medical event in the investigator's judgment or requires intervention to prevent one or other of these outcomes. ). The study design tested 3 different starting dose conversion factors at 3 different dosing schedules during the core study period. As study drug doses can be modified continually over time all results for the two long term safety periods were displayed by dose schedule group only.
