ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryMean Change in Hemoglobin (Hb) Concentration From Baseline to Evaluation PeriodBaseline, Week 29 to Week 36
A time adjusted mean change in Hb concentration was calculated using an Area Under the Curve (AUC) approach, for both periods separately. Change in Hb concentration between the Baseline and evaluation periods was calculated by subtracting the calculated average baseline Hb from the average evaluation period Hb. At the end of the Week 36, data allowing the evaluation of the therapeutic response was available for 188 out of 221 eligible participants in RO0503821 (1x/2 Weeks) arm; 172 out of 220 eligible participants in RO0503821 (1x/4 Weeks); and 180 out of 225 participants in Epoetin (1-3x/Weeks) arm.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Maintaining Average Hemoglobin Concentration During Evaluation Period Within +/- 1 Gram Per Deciliter (g/dl) of Average Baseline Hemoglobin Concentration.Baseline, Week 29 to Week 36
The mean Hb of all values recorded during the evaluation period were calculated, and were subtracted from the mean baseline Hb for each participant. The number of participants maintaining their average Hb within +/- 1 g/dL of their average baseline hemoglobin concentration is given.
SecondaryThe Incidence of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusions During the Titration and Evaluation PeriodsWeek 1 to Week 36The number of participants who received RBC transfusions during the titration and evaluation periods were reported .
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Marked Laboratory Abnormalities in Platelet, White Blood Cell Counts (WBC) and Red Blood Cells (RBC)Up to Week 53
Marked laboratory abnormalities were defined as those values that were outside the Roche marked abnormality reference range. These abnormality laboratory values were flagged as Low or High if they were below the lower limit or above the upper limit of Roche marked abnormality reference range, respectively. The marked abnormality reference range for Platelet was 100-550x10\^9/Litre \[L\], for WBC was 3.0-18.0.0x10\^9/L, and for RBC was 3.80-6.10x10\^12/L.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Marked Laboratory Abnormalities for Blood Chemistry and ElectrolytesUp to Week 53
Marked laboratory abnormalities were defined as those values that were outside the Roche marked abnormality reference range. These abnormality laboratory values were flagged as Low or High if they were below the lower limit or above the upper limit of Roche marked abnormality reference range, respectively. The marked abnormality reference range for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was 0-80 (unit per litre \[U/L\]), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 0-110 U/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 0-220 U/L, albumin \>=30.0 gram/litre (g/L), glucose in non-diabetics 2.80-11.10 (millimol/litre \[mmol/L\]); potassium 2.90-5.80 mmol/L, and phosphorus 0.75-1.60 mmol/L
SecondaryMean Change in Blood Pressure From Baseline at Week 36 and Week 52Baseline, Week 36 and Week 52
Blood pressure was measured by manual assessment or automated reading throughout the entire study for every participant. Blood pressure was taken in the sitting position after at least 5 minutes rest. An appropriate -sized cuff was used and both systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures were recorded before dialysis (BD) and after dialysis (AD).
SecondaryMean Change in Pulse Rate (Sitting) From Baseline at Week 36 and Week 52Baseline, Week 36 and Week 52Change in pulse rate (beats per minute \[bpm\]) from baseline values includes only those participants with both a baseline value and a value for specified time period.
SecondaryIncidence of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and DeathUpto Week 53
An AE 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. An SAE 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. Overall deaths occurred in the study were reported.
