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

Experimental: RO0503821 (1x/2 Weeks) - Eligible participants received RO0503821 (Mircera [methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta]) subcutaneously, once every two weeks for 52 weeks. Participants received a starting dose of RO0503821 60, 100, or 180 microgram (mcg) which was based on the epoetin dose of<8000, 8000-16000, or >16000 international units (IU)/week, administered during the week preceding the switch to the study drug.

Experimental: RO0503821 (1x/4 Weeks) - Eligible participants received RO0503821 subcutaneously, once every four weeks for 52 weeks. Participants received a starting dose of RO0503821 120, 200, or 360 mcg which was based on the epoetin dose of<8000, 8000-16000, or >16000 IU/week administered during the week preceding the switch to the study drug.

Active Comparator: Epoetin Reference - Eligible participants received their ongoing weekly subcutaneous dose of epoetin alfa or beta one, two or three times weekly for 52 weeks .


Treatment: Drugs: epoetin alfa or beta
iv 3 times weekly, as prescribed

Treatment: Drugs: methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera)
60, 100 or 180 micrograms sc (starting dose) every 2 weeks

Treatment: Drugs: methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera)
