Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Adult CKD stage 5 patients of either gender of age ââ?°Â¥ 18 years undergoing chronic hemodialysis at least 3 times per week for at least 3 months prior to screening, and expected to remain on this schedule and able to complete the duration of the study. 2. Patients on minimally adequate measured dialysis dose prior to randomization; defined as urea reduction ratio greater than equal to 65 percentage URR is equal to 1 minus Ureapost-HD divided by Ureapre-HD multiplied by 100, or single-pool Kt by V dialyzer clearance of urea multiplied by dialysis time, divided by patientââ?¬•s total body water greater than equal to 1.2, or KIDt by V online dialyzer clearance measured using ionic dialysance multiplied by dialysis time, divided by patients total body water greater than equal to 1.2. 3. Dialyzer blood flow rate (QB) prior to randomization ââ?°Â¥ 250 mL/min. 4. Must be willing and able to provide written informed consent directly or through their legally authorized representative (LAR). 5. Received IV iron therapy between 6 months and 2 weeks prior to randomization in order to replace iron losses resulting from hemodialysis procedure. 6. Agree to be ââ?¬Ë?without Oral or IV iron supplementationââ?¬• from 2 weeks prior to randomization until end-of-treatment (EOT) and ââ?¬Ë?no change in ESA doseââ?¬• from randomization until EOT by the patient/LAR. 7. Mean screening pre-dialysis Hb ââ?°Â¥ 9.5 to ââ?°Â¤ 11.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) (i.e., average Hb values of Week -2 & Week -1) at randomization. 8. Mean screening pre-dialysis serum (S.) ferritin ââ?°Â¥ 200 to 9. Mean screening pre-dialysis Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) ââ?°Â¥ 20% to ââ?°Â¤40% (i.e., average TSAT values of Week -2 & Week -1) at randomization. 10. If being administered erythropoietin stimulating agent (ESA) [epoetin, darbepoetin, or continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (CERA)], the patient should be on stable dose of ESA without change in the route of administration for at least 4 weeks prior to screening. [Stable dose of ESA is defined as the dose change of 11. Vascular access for dialysis that will be used upon enrollment with stable function in the judgment of the Investigator. 12. Undergoing dialysis only using an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, graft, or tunneled catheter. 13. Females of childbearing potential must not have had unprotected sexual intercourse within 30 days before study entry and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (e.g., total abstinence, an intrauterine device, a double barrier method [such as condom plus diaphragm with spermicide], a contraceptive implant, an oral contraceptive, or have a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia) throughout the entire study period. If currently abstinent, the patients must agree to use a double barrier method as described above if she becomes sexually active during the study period. Females who are using hormonal contraceptives must have been on a stable dose of the same hormonal contraceptive product for at least 4 weeks before dosing and must continue to use the same contraceptive during the study and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. [Note: Women with chi

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patient who has living kidney donor identified or living-donor kidney transplant scheduled. 2. Vascular access for dialysis with non-tunneled catheter. 3. Patients who are anticipated to be unable to complete the entire study (e.g., due to concurrent disease) based on Investigatorââ?¬•s clinical judgment. 4. Received IV or oral iron therapy within 2 weeks prior to the randomization. 5. Known causes of anemia other than renal failure and HD (e.g., sickle cell disease, thalassemia, pure red cell aplasia, hemolytic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, etc.). 6. Known active bleeding from any site other than AV fistula or graft (e.g., gastrointestinal, hemorrhoidal, nasal, pulmonary, etc.). 7.
