Groups2

Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Hb-Based Titration Group
Participants received darbepoetin alfa as a SC injection, Q4W for up to 96 weeks. The dose of darbepoetin alfa was titrated based on the Hb concentration on the date of the visit, the corresponding Hb ROR, and the previously assigned dose. Doses were reduced if Hb exceeded 10.5 g/dL or Hb ROR exceeded 1.0 g/dL/4W. When darbepoetin alfa therapy was withheld per the dosing algorithm, placebo was administered. The starting dose of darbepoetin alfa was 0.45 mcg/kg and the protocol specified doses ranged from 10 to 300 mcg.

Group 2Fixed Dose Group
Participants received darbepoetin alfa as a SC injection Q4W at the same dose as assigned at the time of randomization for the duration of the 96-week treatment period. There was 1 exception to the fixed dose strategy: if the Hb was \> 12.0 g/dL, darbepoetin alfa therapy was withheld and placebo administered. Once the Hb fell to \< 10.0 g/dL, darbepoetin alfa therapy resumed at the same dose. The starting dose of darbepoetin alfa was 0.45 mcg/kg and the protocol specified doses ranged from 10 to 300 mcg.
