What was measured

A time adjusted average baseline reticulocyte count for each individual was calculated using an AUC approach from all available reticulocyte counts taken during the baseline period (Day -20 to Day 1). The average evaluation period reticulocyte count for each individual was calculated using the same method, from all their available measurements taken during the evaluation period (Weeks 17 to 21). The change in reticulocyte count between the baseline and evaluation periods was calculated by subtracting the baseline reticulocyte count from the evaluation period reticulocyte count. Relative reticulocytes were recorded conversion to absolute values was performed.

Analysis population: ITT population. Reticulocyte values within 21 days after blood transfusion(s) were excluded from analysis. Here, number of participants analyzed = participants evaluable for this outcome measure and 'n' signifies number of participants evaluable at specified time-points.

Groups in this outcome

MIRCERA Group 1: Intermediate-Conversion-Factor Group

Participants received MIRCERA IV injection at a starting dose based on an intermediate conversion factor from their previous ESA dose (4 \* previous weekly epoetin dose \[IU\]/250 or 4 \* previous weekly darbepoetin alfa dose \[mcg\]/1.1) once every 4 weeks for 20 weeks. Participants who completed the 20 weeks of treatment and had Hb level within ± 1 g/dL of their baseline Hb level and within the target range of 10-12 g/dL, entered an optional 52-weeks safety extension period. During this period, the participants continued to receive MIRCERA IV injection once every 4 weeks.

MIRCERA Group 2: High-Conversion-Factor Group

Participants received MIRCERA IV injection based on a high conversion factor from their previous ESA dose (4 \* previous weekly epoetin dose \[IU\]/125 or 4 \* previous weekly darbepoetin alfa dose \[mcg\]/0.55) once every 4 weeks for 20 weeks. Participants who completed the 20 weeks of treatment and had Hb level within ± 1 g/dL of their baseline Hb level and within the target range of 10-12 g/dL, entered an optional 52-weeks safety extension period. During this period, the participants continued to receive MIRCERA IV injection once every 4 weeks.
