  • absolute difference less than or equal to 1 g/dL between the mean hemoglobin values determined in weeks -4 and -3 and the mean hemoglobin values determined in weeks -2 and -1)
  • 7. Continuous intravenous once-weekly maintenance darbepoetin therapy for at least 8 weeks before screening and

  • 21. Life expectancy less than 12 months
  • 22. Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • 23. Women of childbearing potential without effective contraception
