  • Maintained a stable hemoglobin within a 3-month period that has not decreased more than 2 g/dL in any 1-month period and with no increase in red blood cell transfusion requirement
  • An ERA maintenance dose that has not increased more than 50 percentages from initial effective dose
  • If blood count information is available, must have a count of reticulocytes (immature red blood cells) greater than or equal to 30 million/L

Exclusion

  • Treatment with medication that decreases the ability of the immune system to function normally, within the last 3 months
  • Participants who have shown a loss of effectiveness to ERA therapy, defined as participants who initially responded to treatment for anemia \[a rise in hemoglobin which lasted for a minimum of 3 months\] followed by an unexplained decrease in hemoglobin (greater than or equal to 2 g/dL) within a 1-month period
