  • Uncontrolled hypertension (diastolic blood pressure \[BP\] \> 110 millimeters of mercury \[mm Hg\] or systolic BP \>190 mm Hg at screening)
  • New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure

  • History of myelodysplastic syndrome
  • Participants known to have diabetic gastroparesis that was either symptomatic on therapy or was refractory to therapy
  • Any history of malignancy in the previous 5 years except for curatively resected basal cell carcinoma of skin, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, or resected benign colonic polyps
  • Evidence of active infection unless the medical monitor and investigator agreed that the participant was appropriate for this study
  • History of rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (History of osteoarthritis or gout did not exclude participants from eligibility in the study.)
  • Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema or active diabetic proliferative retinopathy that was likely to require treatment during the trial
  • History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that required active treatment. Superficial thrombosis was not excluded.
  • History of ongoing hemolysis or diagnosis of hemolytic syndrome

  • History of hemosiderosis or hemochromatosis

  • Intravenous iron supplementation within the past 21 days
  • Currently taking acetaminophen \> 2.6 grams/day
  • History of prior organ transplantation, or stem cell or bone marrow transplantation
  • Alcohol consumption greater than 14 or more drinks per week within the past year (1 drink = 12 ounce \[oz\] beer, 5 oz wine, or 1.5 oz hard liquor.)
