Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents | Participants received reference ESA according to approved label. No biosimilar ESAs were accepted in the study. The approved reference ESA compounds in the study were darbepoetin alfa, epoetin alfa and epoetin beta. | 557 | 1,409 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta | Participants not currently being treated with an ESA received 0.6 micrograms per kilogram (mcg/kg) methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta intravenously (iv) or subcutaneously (sc) once every 2 weeks for correction of renal anemia (target hemoglobin \[Hb\] 10-12 grams per deciliter \[g/dL\]). Participants currently treated with an ESA received a starting dose of 120, 200 or 360 mcg/kg methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta iv or sc once monthly based on the calculated weekly ESA dose prior to the switch for maintenance of anemia treatment. Once corrected and in participants currently being treated with an ESA, methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta was administered once monthly. | 558 | 1,409 | EG001 |
