Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change in Hemoglobin From Baseline and Over the Evaluation Period (Mean Over Week 24 and 28)Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 to Week 28Blood samples were collected at given time points from participants for hemoglobin measurements. Evaluation period hemoglobin value was defined as the mean of all available post-randomization hemoglobin values (on and off-treatment) during the evaluation period (Week 24 to Week 28 inclusive). For the primary analysis, the missing post-Baseline hemoglobin values were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputations. Change from Baseline was defined as the average of post-randomization values during the evaluation period minus Baseline value. Baseline value was the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. Analysis was performed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with terms for treatment, Baseline hemoglobin, and region.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Short Form-36 (SF-36) Questionnaire Vitality Domain Score by Traditional Scoring at Week 28Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28The 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 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 Perception of Health.Each domain is scored from 0 (poorer health) to 100 (better health). Vitality domain score ranges from 0-100; higher score indicates a better health state & better functioning. Change from Baseline was calculated as Post-Dose Visit Value at Week 28 minus Baseline. For primary analysis, the missing on-treatment Week 28 SF-36 Vitality domain scores were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputations. Baseline value was latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before randomization date. Analysis was performed using ANCOVA model with terms for treatment, Baseline score, and region.
Percentage of Participants With Hgb Response (Hgb in the 11-12 Grams/Deciliter Range) During Evaluation Period (Week 24 to Week 28 Inclusive)Week 24 to Week 28Mean hemoglobin during the evaluation period was defined as the mean of all evaluable hemoglobin values during the evaluation period (Week 24 to Week 28 inclusive) including any evaluable unscheduled hemoglobin values that were taken during this period. Percentage of participants with Hgb response was defined as participants with mean Hgb within range (11-12 grams per deciliter during the evaluation period (Week 24 to Week 28 inclusive) and it was analyzed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) chi-squared test.

Percentage of time for which Hgb was within the target range (11-12 grams per deciliter) for a participant was calculated by dividing 'the total number of days that Hgb was within range during Week 24 to 28' by 'the total number of days the participant remained on treatment during Week 24 to 28'
Change From Baseline in Post-randomization Hgb at Week 28Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28Blood samples were collected at given time points for hemoglobin measurements.

The responses for the five dimension together form a five-figure description of health state. Each of these five-figure health states have attached valuation (utility score), expressed as single index on a scale from 0-1, where 1 is full health and 0 is worst health. The higher the score the better the health status. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline.

It is a self-assessment visual analogue scale, ranging from 0=worst imaginable to 100=best. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline. Baseline value was the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date.

Mean Change in Hemoglobin From Baseline and Over the Evaluation Period (Mean Over Week 24 and 28)

Blood samples were collected at given time points from participants for hemoglobin measurements. Evaluation period hemoglobin value was defined as the mean of all available post-randomization hemoglobin values (on and off-treatment) during the evaluation period (Week 24 to Week 28 inclusive). For the primary analysis, the missing post-Baseline hemoglobin values were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputations. Change from Baseline was defined as the average of post-randomization values during the evaluation period minus Baseline value. Baseline value was the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. Analysis was performed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with terms for treatment, Baseline hemoglobin, and region.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 to Week 28

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population comprised all randomized participants regardless of whether they took study drug.

Change From Baseline in EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level Health Utility Index (EQ-5D-5L) Utility Score

The EQ-5D-5L is a 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 a 5-point Likert scale (1: no problems, 2: slight problems, 3: moderate problems, 4: severe problems, and 5: extreme problems). The responses for the five dimension together form a five-figure description of health state. Each of these five-figure health states have attached valuation (utility score), expressed as single index on a scale from 0-1, where 1 is full health and 0 is worst health. The higher the score the better the health status. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline. Baseline value was the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28

Percentage of Time With Hgb Within the Target Range (11-12 Grams Per Deciliter) During Evaluation Period (Week 24 to Week 28 Inclusive) (Hodges-Lehmann Estimate)

Percentage of days for which participant's Hgb was within the target range of 11-12 grams per deciliter during the evaluation period (Week 24 to Week 28 inclusive), including any unscheduled evaluable Hgb values that were taken during this time period. Percentage of time for which Hgb was within the target range (11-12 grams per deciliter) for a participant was calculated by dividing 'the total number of days that Hgb was within range during Week 24 to 28' by 'the total number of days the participant remained on treatment during Week 24 to 28'.

Time frame: Week 24 to Week 28

Population: Intent-to-Treat Population. Only those participants with data available at the indicated time points were analyzed.
