| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Time to First Occurrence of Adjudicated Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE) During Cardiovascular (CV) Events Follow-up Time Period: Non-inferiority Analysis | Up to 3.9 person-years for CV follow-up time period | Time to MACE defined as the time to first occurrence of Clinical Events Committee (CEC) adjudicated MACE (composite of all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction \[MI\] and non-fatal stroke) was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model with treatment group, dialysis type and region as covariates. Time to the first occurrence was computed as (event date minus randomization date) plus (+) 1. The incidence rate per 100 person years calculated as (100 multiplied by \[\*\] number of participants with at least 1 event) divided by \[/\] first event person-years) is presented along with 95 percent (%) confidence interval (CI). First event person years=(cumulative total time to first event for participants who have the event + cumulative total of censored time for participants without the event)/365.25, based on the CV follow-up time period. |
| Primary | Mean Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (Hgb) Levels During Evaluation Period (Week 28 to Week 52) | Baseline (Pre-dose on Day 1) and evaluation period (Week 28 to Week 52) | Blood samples were collected from participants for hemoglobin measurements. Hemoglobin during the evaluation period was defined as the mean of all available post-randomization hemoglobin values (on and off-treatment) during the evaluation period (Week 28 to Week 52). For the primary analysis, missing post-Baseline hemoglobin values were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputation methods. Change from Baseline was defined as post-Baseline value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. |
| Secondary | Time to First Occurrence of Adjudicated MACE During CV Events Follow-up Time Period: Superiority Analysis | Up to 3.9 person-years for CV follow-up time period | Time to MACE defined as the time to first occurrence of CEC adjudicated MACE was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model with treatment group, dialysis type and region as covariate. Time to the first occurrence was computed as (event date minus randomization date) + 1. The incidence rate per 100 person years calculated as (100\*number of participants with at least 1 event)/first event person-years) is presented along with 95% CI. First event person years=(cumulative total time to first event for participants who have the event + cumulative total of censored time for participants without the event)/365.25, based on the CV follow-up time period. This endpoint was adjusted for multiplicity using the Holm-Bonferonni method. |
| Secondary | Time to First Occurrence of Adjudicated MACE or Thromboembolic Event During CV Events Follow-up Time Period | Up to 3.9 person-years for CV follow-up time period | Time to first occurrence of adjudicated MACE or thromboembolic event (vascular access thrombosis, symptomatic deep vein thrombosis or symptomatic pulmonary embolism) was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model with with treatment group, dialysis type and region as covariates. Time to the first occurrence was computed as (event date minus randomization date) + 1. The incidence rate per 100 person years calculated as (100\*number of participants with at least 1 event)/first event person-years) is presented along with 95% CI. First event person years=(cumulative total time to first event for participants who have the event + cumulative total of censored time for participants without the event)/365.25, based on the CV follow-up time period. This endpoint was adjusted for multiplicity using the Holm-Bonferonni method. |
| Secondary | Time to First Occurrence of Adjudicated MACE or Hospitalization for Heart Failure During CV Events Follow-up Time Period | Up to 3.9 person-years for CV follow-up time period | Time to first occurrence of adjudicated MACE or hospitalization for heart failure was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model with treatment group, dialysis type and region as covariates. Time to the first occurrence was computed as (event date minus randomization date) + 1. The incidence rate per 100 person years calculated as (100\*number of participants with at least 1 event)/first event person-years) is presented along with 95% CI. First event person years=(cumulative total time to first event for participants who have the event + cumulative total of censored time for participants without the event)/365.25, based on the CV follow-up time period. This endpoint was adjusted for multiplicity using the Holm-Bonferonni method. |
| Secondary | Mean Average Monthly On-treatment IV Iron Dose Per Participant | Day 1 to Week 52 | Average monthly IV iron dose (milligrams) per participant from Day 1 to Week 52 was determined by calculating the total IV iron dose per participant from treatment start date + 1 to the earliest of (Week 52 visit date, first blood (red blood cell \[RBC\] or whole blood) transfusion date, and treatment stop date + 1 day) which corresponds to the time while the participant was on randomized treatment and before receiving a blood transfusion. This total IV iron dose was divided by (the number of days from treatment start date + 1 to the earliest of (Week 52 visit date, first blood transfusion date (RBC or whole blood), and treatment stop date +1) / 30.4375 days). This endpoint was adjusted for multiplicity using the Holm-Bonferonni method. |
| Secondary | Time to First Occurrence of Adjudicated All-Cause Mortality During Vital Status for Follow-up Time Period | Up to 3.9 person-years for vital status follow-up time period | Time to first occurrence of adjudicated all-cause mortality was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model with treatment group, dialysis type and region as covariates. Time to the first occurrence was computed as (event date minus randomization date) + 1. The incidence rate per 100 person years calculated as (100\*number of participants with at least 1 event)/first event person-years) is presented along with 95% CI. First event person years=(cumulative total time to first event for participants who have the event + cumulative total of censored time for participants without the event)/365.25, based on the vital status for follow-up time period. |
| Secondary | Time to First Occurrence of Adjudicated CV Mortality During CV Events Follow-up Time Period | Up to 3.9 person-years for CV follow-up time period | Time to first occurrence of adjudicated CV mortality was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model with treatment group, dialysis type and region as covariates. Time to the first occurrence was computed as (event date minus randomization date) + 1. The incidence rate per 100 person years calculated as (100\*number of participants with at least 1 event)/first event person-years) is presented along with 95% CI. First event person years=(cumulative total time to first event for participants who have the event + cumulative total of censored time for participants without the event)/365.25, based on the CV follow-up time period. |
| Secondary | Time to First Occurrence of Adjudicated Myocardial Infarction (MI) (Fatal and Non-Fatal) During CV Events Follow-up Time Period | Up to 3.9 person-years for CV follow-up time period | Time to first occurrence of adjudicated MI (fatal and non-fatal) was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model with treatment group, dialysis type and region as covariates. Time to the first occurrence was computed as (event date minus randomization date) + 1. The incidence rate per 100 person years calculated as (100\*number of participants with at least 1 event)/first event person-years) is presented along with 95% CI. First event person years=(cumulative total time to first event for participants who have the event + cumulative total of censored time for participants without the event)/365.25, based on the CV follow-up time period. |
