Mean Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (Hgb) Levels During Evaluation Period (Week 28 to Week 52)

Blood samples were collected from participants for hemoglobin measurements. Hemoglobin during the evaluation period was defined as the mean of all available post-randomization hemoglobin values (on and off-treatment) during the evaluation period (Week 28 to Week 52). For the primary analysis, missing post-Baseline hemoglobin values were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputation methods. Change from Baseline was defined as post-Baseline value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date.

Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose on Day 1) and evaluation period (Week 28 to Week 52)

Change From Baseline in On-Treatment Health Utility EuroQol 5 Dimensions 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire Score at Week 52

EQ-5D-5L is self-assessment questionnaire,consisting of 5 items covering 5 dimensions (mobility,self care,usual activities,pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). Each dimension is measured by 5-point Likert scale (1=no problems, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems and 5=extreme problems). Responses for 5 dimensions together formed a 5-figure description of health state (e.g.11111 indicates no problems in all 5 dimensions). Each of these 5 figure health states were converted to a single index score by applying country-specific value set formula that attaches weights to dimensions and levels. Range for EQ-5D-5L index score is -0.594 (worst health) to 1 (full health state). Change from Baseline was calculated as on-treatment visit value-Baseline value. Baseline was latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before randomization date.

Change From Baseline in On-Treatment Vitality Scores Using SF-36 HRQoL Questionnaire at Weeks 8, 12, 28, 52

The SF-36 acute version 2 is a 36-item generic quality of life instrument designed to measure a participant's level of performance in the following 8 health domains: physical functioning, role-physical (role limitations caused by physical problems), social functioning, bodily pain, mental health, role-emotional (role limitations caused by emotional problems), vitality and general health. Each domain is scored from 0 (poorer health) to 100 (better health). Vitality score ranges from 0 to 100; higher scores represent better health. Change from Baseline was calculated as on-treatment visit value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date.

Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose on Day 1), Weeks 8, 12, 28 and 52

Population: All Randomized (ITT) Population. Only those participants with data available at the indicated time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles).

Change From Baseline in SBP, DBP, MAP at End of Treatment

SBP, DBP and MAP were measured in a semi-supine or seated position in the dialysis chair after at least a 5-minutes of rest. MAP is an average BP in an individual's arteries during a single cardiac cycle. Change from Baseline was calculated as on-treatment visit value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. This analysis was carried out by using ANCOVA model with terms for treatment group, dialysis type, region and Baseline value. Data for post-dialysis BP measurements have been presented.

Mean Average Monthly On-treatment IV Iron Dose Per Participant

Average monthly IV iron dose (milligrams) per participant from Day 1 to Week 52 was determined by calculating the total IV iron dose per participant from treatment start date + 1 to the earliest of (Week 52 visit date, first blood (red blood cell \[RBC\] or whole blood) transfusion date, and treatment stop date + 1 day) which corresponds to the time while the participant was on randomized treatment and before receiving a blood transfusion. This total IV iron dose was divided by (the number of days from treatment start date + 1 to the earliest of (Week 52 visit date, first blood transfusion date (RBC or whole blood), and treatment stop date +1) / 30.4375 days). This endpoint was adjusted for multiplicity using the Holm-Bonferonni method.
