Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Mean Change in Hemoglobin (Hb) Levels From Pre-treatment to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period | Pre-treatment; Week 6 | The pre-treatment average value for Hb was defined as the average of 3 values obtained prior to treatment, i.e., the qualifying screening value and the Baseline value. Change from Pre-treatment was calculated as the Week 6 value minus the Pre-treatment value. |
| Secondary | Time to Reach the Target Hb Level of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL From Baseline up to Week 16 | from Baseline up to Week 16 | Time for this analysis was measured from Day 1 (Baseline) through the point in time during either the Primary Efficacy Period or the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period when a participant's Hb level achieved the target range of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL. |
| Secondary | Mean Hb Levels at the End of the Primary Efficacy Period | up to Week 6 | Data are reported as mean of the actual Week 6 values. |
| Secondary | Mean Hb Levels at the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period | up to Week 16 | Data are reported as mean of the actual Week 16 values. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Who Achieved the Target Hb Level of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL at the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period | up to Week 16 | |
| Secondary | Mean Change in Hb Between Pre-treatment and the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period | Pre-treatment; Week 16 | A pre-treatment average value for Hb was defined as the average of 3 values obtained prior to dosing, i.e., the 2 qualifying screening values and the Baseline value. Change from Pre-treatment was calculated as the Week 16 value minus the Pre-treatment value. |
| Secondary | Mean Change in Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count and Absolute Reticulocyte Count From Baseline to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period | Baseline; Week 6 | Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. |
| Secondary | Mean Change in RBC Count and Absolute Reticulocyte Count From Baseline to the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period | Baseline; Week 16 | Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. |
| Secondary | Mean Change in Hematocrit and Reticulocytes From Baseline to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period | Baseline; Week 6 | Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. |
| Secondary | Mean Change in Hematocrit and Reticulocytes From Baseline to the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period | Baseline; Week 16 | Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. |
