Primary Outcome

The primary efficacy variable was blood Hb level and its changes from Baseline (defined as the mean Hb of Screening assessment (SA) (Week -3), Weeks -2 and -1 of the Run-in period) over time during the core treatment period. For each participant, the primary efficacy parameter was the change in hemoglobin level over time based on regression slopes. All values until end-of-initial treatment (EOIT), defined as the last observed value before a dose change or blood transfusion, were included in the

Interventions
