Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Darbepoetin alfa
Treatment: Drugs - methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera]

Experimental: RO0503821 (1x/2 Weeks) - Eligible participants will be administered with RO0503821 ([methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta] {Mircera}) intravenously (IV), every 2 weeks during Weeks 1 through 52. The starting dose of RO0503821 (60, 100, or 180 micro gram [µg]) was based on the dose of darbepoetin alfa at the time of randomization (< 40, 40 to 80, or > 80 µg per week, respectively).

Active Comparator: Darbepoetin (1x/1-2 Weeks) - Eligible participants will be administered with darbepoetin alfa IV, every week or every 2 weeks during Weeks 1 through 52.


Treatment: Drugs: Darbepoetin alfa
Darbepoetin alfa was administered IV, every week or every 2 weeks during Weeks 1 through 52.

Treatment: Drugs: methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta [Mircera]
