Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the long term maintenance of haemoglobin levels, with once-monthly intravenous administration of C.E.R.A in dialysis patients with chronic renal anaemia.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of C.E.R.A. once monthly in the treatment of anaemia in patients with chronic kidney disease;Primary end point(s): The proportion of patients maintaining avetrage haemoglobin concentration during the EEP within the target range. | — |
