What was measured

The total number of dose adjustments needed to achieve stabilized response was calculated from Day 1 until the first 8-week time window in which response was achieved. A participant was defined as having achieved a stable Hb response, if at least 75% of the scheduled Hb values were between 10.0 g/dL and 12.0 g/dL and \>=1.0 g/dL from baseline for any 8-week time period, regardless of the requirement for dose adjustment for Hb maintenance. Achievement of stable response was determined using a moving 8-week time window, moving forward by 14 days in each iteration starting at Day 15, searching to see if the following conditions were met: 1) At least 3 scheduled Hb values (75% of the scheduled Hb values) in any 8-week time window were \>=1.0 g/dL from baseline (as calculated above) and within the range of 10.0 g/dL to 12.0 g/dL. 2) There were at least 3 recorded Hb values within the time window.

Analysis population: ITT population. Here, N=number of participants analyzed for this measure.
