    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Change in Hemoglobin (Hb) Levels From Pre-treatment to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period [Pre-treatment; Week 6]

      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.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

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

    2. Mean Hb Levels at the End of the Primary Efficacy Period [up to Week 6]

      Data are reported as mean of the actual Week 6 values.

      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 16 value minus the Pre-treatment value.

    6. Mean Change in Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count and Absolute Reticulocyte Count From Baseline to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period [Baseline; Week 6]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    8. Mean Change in Hematocrit and Reticulocytes From Baseline to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period [Baseline; Week 6]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    9. Mean Change in Hematocrit and Reticulocytes From Baseline to the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period [Baseline; Week 16]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    10. Mean Change in Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) From Baseline to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period [Baseline; Week 6]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    11. Mean Change in Iron and TIBC From Baseline to the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period [Baseline; Week 16]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    12. Mean Change in Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) From Baseline to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period [Baseline; Week 6]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    13. Mean Change in TSAT From Baseline to the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period [Baseline; Week 16]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    14. Mean Change in Ferritin and Hepcidin From Baseline to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period [Baseline; Week 6]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    15. Mean Change in Ferritin and Hepcidin From Baseline to the End of the Dose Adjustment and Maintenance Period [Baseline; Week 16]

      Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    16. Number of Participants Who Required Rescue With Erythropoiesis-stimulating Agents (ESAs) From Baseline to the End of the Primary Efficacy Period [Baseline; Week 6]

      ESA rescue is defined as participants with ESA administration and 1) the participant experienced a clinically significant worsening of their anemia or symptoms of anemia, 2) the participant's Hb level is <9.0 g/dL, and 3) reason for early study withdrawal of worsening of anemia requiring ESA rescue or blood transfusion.

      Blood samples were collected for analysis.

    24. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in the Primary Efficacy Period [up to Week 6]

      An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence (including a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding) that occurred in the protocol-specified AE reporting period. An AE included medical conditions, signs, and symptoms not previously observed in the participant that emerged during the protocol-specified AE reporting period, including signs or symptoms associated with pre-existing underlying conditions that were not present prior to the AE reporting period. An AE that met one or more of the following criteria or outcomes was classified as serious: death; life-threatening; in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/ incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; was considered a medically important event not meeting the above criteria, but which could jeopardize a participant, or could require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the criteria listed in this definition.

    Description An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence (including a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding) that occurred in the protocol-specified AE reporting period. An AE included medical conditions, signs, and symptoms not previously observed in the participant that emerged during the protocol-specified AE reporting period, including signs or symptoms associated with pre-existing underlying conditions that were not present prior to the AE reporting period. An AE that met one or more of the following criteria or outcomes was classified as serious: death; life-threatening; in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/ incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; was considered a medically important event not meeting the above criteria, but which could jeopardize a participant, or could require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the criteria listed in this definition.
