Timeline
Interventions
Commercially available epoetin alfa administered weekly, twice weekly, or thrice weekly at an initial starting dose, frequency of administration, and mode of administration (intravenous \[IV\] or subcutaneous \[SC\]) individually determined for each participant using the site's usual standard of care. Subsequent dose adjustments or dose holds may have been made in order to maintain a hemoglobin concentration of \<11 g/dL.
Administered as a once monthly intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) injection. The initial dose of peginesatide injection was based on the final weekly dose of epoetin administered in the SCP; subsequent doses may have been adjusted in order to maintain hemoglobin concentrations at \<11 g/dL.
