A Single Arm Open Label Study to Assess Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Once-monthly Administration of Subcutaneously C.E.R.A. for the Maintenance of Hemoglobin Levels in Patients With Chronic Renal Anemia Not on Dialysis
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [C.E.R.A.] for Anemia. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 23 sites.
Detailed Summary
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous C.E.R.A. when administered for the maintenance of hemoglobin levels in participants with chronic renal anemia, not on dialysis. Participants currently receiving maintenance treatment with subcutaneous darbepoetin alfa or epoetin beta will receive monthly injections of C.E.R.A., with the starting dose (120, 200 or 300 micrograms \[mcg\] subcutaneously \[SC\]) derived from the dose of darbepoetin alfa or epoetin beta they were receiving in the week preceding study start.

Timeline
Interventions
Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta is administered SC every four week up to Week 20.The starting dose is 120, 200 or 300 mcg based on the dose of darbepoetin alfa or epoetin beta participants shall be receiving in the week preceding the study start. Further dose adjustment during the study depending on the hemoglobin (Hb) values.
