Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects with renal anemia who have been receiving recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO, two times weekly or three times weekly) or darbepoetin alfa (intravenous treatment) within the doses approved in Japan for more than 8 weeks before the screening assessment
  • Mean of the subject's two most recent Hb values before dialysis after the longest dialysis interval during the Screening Period must be ≥10.0 g/dL and ≤12.0 g/dL
  • Either transferrin saturation (TSAT) ≥ 20% or serum ferritin ≥ 100 ng/mL during the screening period

Be of non-childbearing potential:

  • post-menopausal (defined as at least 1 year without any menses) prior to Screening, or

  • documented surgically sterile Or, if of childbearing potential,

  • Agree not to try to become pregnant during the study and for 28 days after the final study drug administration

  • And have a negative pregnancy test at Screening

  • And, if heterosexually active, agree to consistently use two forms of highly effective form of birth control (at least one of which must be a barrier method) starting at Screening and throughout the study period and continued for 28 days after the final study drug administration.

    • Female subject must agree not to breastfeed starting at Screening and throughout the study period, and continued for 28 days after the final study drug administration.
    • Female subject must not donate ova starting at Screening and throughout the study period, and continued for 28 days after the final study drug administration.
    • Male subject and their female spouse/partners who are of childbearing potential must be using two forms of highly effective form of birth control (at least one of which must be a barrier method) starting at Screening and continue throughout the study period, and for 12 weeks after the final study drug administration
    • Male subject must not donate sperm starting at Screening and throughout the study period and, for 12 weeks after the final study drug administration
Exclusion Criteria
  • Concurrent retinal neovascular lesion untreated and macular edema untreated
  • Concurrent autoimmune disease with inflammation that could impact erythropoiesis

  • Having received treatment with protein anabolic hormone, testosterone enanthate, or mepitiostane within 6 weeks before the screening assessment
  • Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), or total bilirubin that is greater than the criteria, or previous or concurrent another serious liver disease at screening assessment
  • Previous or current malignant tumor (no recurrence for at least 5 years is eligible.)
  • Having undergone blood transfusion and/or a surgical procedure considered to promote anemia (excluding shunt reconstruction surgery for access to the blood) and/or ophthalmological surgery within 4 weeks before the screening assessment
  • Having undergone a kidney transplantation
  • Having a previous history of treatment with ASP1517
