| Main Objective: To determine the range of monthly (i.e., Q4W, every 4 weeks) doses of AF37702 Injection administered subcutaneously that increases and maintains hemoglobin at 11-13 g/dL in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients not on dialysis (pre-dialysis patients).;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety profile of up to six doses of AF37702 Injection administered subcutaneously on a Q4W schedule in pre-dialysis patients. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles of up to six doses of AF37702 Injection administered subcutaneously on a Q4W schedule in pre-dialysis patients (in a subset of study patients). To evaluate the safety and pharmacodynamic profiles of up to six doses of AF37702 Injection administered intravenously on a Q4W schedule in pre-dialysis patients, with pharmacokinetic profiles in a subset of these patients. To evaluate the safety and pharmacodynamic profiles of AF37702 Injection administered subcutaneously once every two weeks (Q2W) for up to 12 doses, with pharmacokinetic profiles in a subset of these patients.;Primary end point(s): Hemoglobin change from baseline at weekly intervals through Week 13 and at 2-week intervals through Week 25 • Proportion of patients per cohort with hemoglobin within 11-13 g/dL at Weeks 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25 • Proportion of patients per cohort achieving a Hgb response, defined as a Hgb increase of = 1.0 g/dL from baseline and a Hgb = 11.0 g/dL during the study • Number (%) of patients with no dose adjustments during the study and number (%) of patients with dose increase or decrease during the study • Incidence of red blood cell transfusions during the study • Pharmacologic parameters including RBCs, hematocrit, reticulocyte counts, reticulocyte hemoglobin content, and serum measures of iron status (e.g., serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, and transferrin receptor protein) • Adverse events (AEs) • Serious adverse events (SAEs) • Pharmacokinetic parameters including Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-8, t½ß, Vd, Vss, and C | — |
