Maintenance Treatment of Renal Anemia in Dialysis Subjects

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject with ESKD (end-stage kidney disease) on regular dialysis (including, hemodiafiltration, hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and other modalities except for peritoneal dialysis) weekly or more than weekly for at least 12 weeks prior to randomization * Body weight (after dialysis) \> 40 and ≤ 160 kg at screening * Male or female subject ≥ 20 years of age at screening * At least one kidney * Treated with weekly or bi-weekly dose of darbepoetin alfa, monthly or bi-weekly dose of epoetin beta pegol, OR weekly, biweekly, twice or three times per week dose of epoetin alfa/beta, and having had no more than one dose change within 8 weeks prior to randomization * Mean screening Hb level ≥ 9.5 and \< 12.0 g/dL (mean of all central laboratory Hb levels before dialysis \[at least 2 measurements must be taken ≥ 2 days apart\] during the screening period, AND all Hb level must be measured by the central laboratory, AND the difference between the lowest level and highest level is \< 1.2 g/dL), with the last screening Hb level measurement within 14 days prior to randomization * Ferritin ≥ 100 ng/mL or transferrin saturation ≥ 20% at screening * Serum folate level and serum vitamin B12 level above lower limit of normal (LLN) at screening Exclusion Criteria: * New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure * History of cardio- (cerebro-) vascular events (e.g., unstable angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, pulmonary thromboembolism, and acute limb ischemia) within 6 months prior to randomization * Sustained, poorly controlled arterial hypertension (defined as systolic BP (blood pressure) ≥ 180mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 110mmHg) or hypotension (defined as systolic BP \< 90mmHg) at randomization * Proliferative choroidal or retinal disease, such as neovascular agerelated macular degeneration or proliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring invasive treatment (e.g., intraocular injections or laser photocoagulation) at screening
