Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary out come of the study will be defined as the change in Hb values from baseline to end of treatment (T3) in each group, the difference in the per cent of patients achieving an increase in Hb of â?¥0.6 g/dL at any study point between baseline and T3 in the two treatment groups and the change in Hb levels from T3 to T4Timepoint: 3 Months T0,T1,T2 and T3 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary out come will be defined as change in TSAT and ferritin from baseline to end of treatment and from T3 to completion of the study (T4).Timepoint: 3 Months T3 and T4 | — |
