February 26, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

An Observational. Non-interventional Study to Observe the Safety and Efficacy of MIRCERA in the Treatment of Chronic Renal Anemia in Maintenance ESA Treated Patients on Haemodialysis (STABILE)

This prospective observational study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) in patients with chronic renal anemia on haemodialysis in maintenance ESA treatment. Data will be collected from patients receiving once monthly Mircera according to standard of care and local labelling during 12 months of treatment.

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
AE: any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with use of study drug, regardless of relation to study drug. Pre-existing conditions that worsened and laboratory or clinical tests that resulted in change in treatment or discontinuation from study drug were reported as AEs. Serious AE (SAE): resulted in death, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was medically significant. Any AE included participants with both serious and non-serious AEs.
Up to 12 months
