The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FG-4592 in maintaining and/or correcting hemoglobin (Hb) given to subjects with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on maintenance hemodialysis and receiving epoetin alfa.
Dose ranging study with three consecutive dose escalation cohorts. The study objectives are to demonstrate that FG-4592 is effective in maintaining hemoglobin (Hb) levels when converting from epoetin alfa and to establish optimum starting doses and dose adjustment regimens for Hb maintenance.
