Outcome results

Primary

Mean Change in Hemoglobin (Hb) Levels From Pre-treatment to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period

The pre-treatment value for Hb was defined as the average of 2 values obtained prior to treatment, i.e., the qualifying screening value and the Baseline value. Change from Pre-treatment was calculated as the Week 6 value minus the Pre-treatment value.

Time frame: Pre-treatment; Week 6

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat Population (mITT): all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, had a pre-treatment Hb average, and at least one post-Baseline Hb measurement. The mITT Population was based on the treatment to which participants were randomized.

Time to Reach the Target Hb Level of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL From Baseline up to Week 16

Time for this analysis was measured from Day 1 (Baseline) through the point in time during either the Primary Efficacy Period or the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period when a participant's Hb level achieved the target range of 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL.

Time frame: from Baseline up to Week 16

Population: mITT Population. Only participants with Hb \< 10.0 g/dL at the Baseline visit were included in the analysis.
