Study Summary

A multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled Phase 3 study for the correction of anemia and maintenance of hemoglobin (Hb) in participants with Non-Dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (NDD-CKD)

Primary Outcome

The Baseline average was calculated as the average of the Hb values obtained at the screening visit closest to the date of randomization and the randomization visit. The average for the Primary Efficacy Period was calculated as the average Hb value over Weeks 24 to 36. Analysis was conducted using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with multiple imputation for missing data with Baseline Hb concentration (\<9.5 versus ≥9.5 grams per deciliter \[g/dL\]), geographic region (United States \[US
