You may qualify if…

• The patient was a man or woman 18 to 90 years of age, inclusive.
• The patient had CKD and met 1 of the following criteria:
• Had been on dialysis for ≥6 months prior to enrollment, or
• Had not yet begun dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) and was not anticipated to require initiation of dialysis during participation in the study.
• The patient was on stable darbepoetin alfa maintenance therapy (either SC or IV) continuously for a minimum of 8 weeks prior to enrollment.
• The patient had 4 consecutive Hb values with a mean ≥10.0 and ≤12.0 g/dL during screening period, with the difference between the mean of the first 2 consecutive Hb values and the mean of the last 2 consecutive values being ≤1.0 g/dL.

You may not qualify if…

• The patient had known bleeding or coagulation disorder.
• The patient had known hematologic disease or cause of anemia other than renal disease (i.e., pure red cell aplasia, homozygous sickle-cell disease, thalassemia, multiplemyeloma, hemolytic anemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome).
• The patient had received a recent course of intensive iron replacement (i.e., more than 500 mg IV in the 28 days prior to enrollment).
• The patient had advanced chronic CKD defined by New York Heart Association Class III or IV.
• The patient had a known history of seizure disorder or received antiepileptic medication for a seizure disorder within 6 months prior to enrollment.
