A Study Of Mircera In Patients With Kidney Disease Who Are Not On Dialysis
Completed
- Conditions
- Renal Tubular Acidosis, Distal, With Hemolytic Anemia
- Registration Number
- NCT02490514
- Lead Sponsor
- Hoffmann-La Roche
- Brief Summary
This open-label, non-randomized, retrospective-prospective, non-interventional study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mircera in patients with stage III-IV chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis. Patients will receive open-label treatment with Mircera for 12 months at a dose to be determined by the investigator.
