Anemia - Chronic Kidney Disease |
| Purpose: |
|
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous MK2578, given as maintenance
treatment for renal anemia in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis who were
previously receiving erythropoietin stimulating agents.
|
| Study summary: |
|
This study consists of a 12-week base study (MK2578-003-00) and an optional 40-week
extension study (MK2578-003-10). Patients who complete 12 weeks of treatment in the base
study will enter the extension on the most recent dose administered in the base study or a
newly adjusted dose, if adjustment is required to bring hemoglobin (Hb) levels within range.
Patients' doses of MK2578 will be adjusted upward or downward during the extension study to
maintain Hb in the range of 10-12 g/dL. |
