A Single Arm, Open Label, Interventional Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Once-Monthly Administration of Intravenous C.E.R.A. for the Maintenance of Hemoglobin Levels in Hemodialysis Patients With Chronic Renal Anemia
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta for Anemia. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 27 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
This single-arm study will assess the long-term maintenance of hemoglobin levels, safety, and tolerability of once-monthly intravenous administration of Mircera in hemodialysis participants with chronic renal anemia. Those currently receiving darbepoetin alfa, epoetin alfa, or epoetin beta maintenance treatment will receive intravenous Mircera at a starting dose of 120, 200, or 360 micrograms (mcg) per month (based on the erythropoiesis stimulating agent \[ESA\] dose administered on Week -1). Subsequent doses will be adjusted to maintain hemoglobin levels within the country-specific target range (11 to 13 grams per deciliter \[g/dL\] for Switzerland and 10 to 12 g/dL for Austria).

Timeline
Interventions
Mircera will be administered intravenously every 4 weeks for a total of 52 weeks. The first dose of 120, 200, or 360 mcg will be determined by the dose of ESA received prior to administration of study treatment, while subsequent doses will be adjusted to maintain hemoglobin within a country-specific target range.
