4. No significant folate or Vitamin B12 deficiency.
5. Females of childbearing potential, must agree to use one of the approved contraception methods, from screening until End-of-study visit.

6. For Subjects dependent on hemodialysis:

   1. Must be receiving haemodialysis session ≥2 times in a week for at least 12 weeks prior to screening visit and have access consisting of an arteriovenous fistula, AV graft, or catheter (permanent/temporary).
   2. Subjects will be considered not treated with erythropoietin analogue (Epoetin and Darbepoetin) if they have not received erythropoietin analogue for at least 4 weeks and Mircera® for at least 8 weeks prior to screening visit. OR Subjects who are on ESA therapy must be on stable dose for 4 weeks prior to enrolment (≤30% of dose change).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who received red blood cell transfusion within 8 weeks prior to enrolment.
2. Pre-dialysis subjects, who had prior exposure to ESA agents within 6 weeks prior to enrolment.
3. In case of diabetes mellitus subjects, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) > 9 %.

7. History of uncontrolled autoimmune haemolytic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or thalassemia/bleeding disorders or clinical conditions (e.g. gastrointestinal [GI] bleeding or constitutional disorders) that may increase risk of life-threatening bleeding./ requires or is receiving anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists or other medications within 28 days of the first dose of study drug that in the investigator's opinion, could compromise subject safety.
8. Major surgery within 90 days and minor surgery within 30 days prior to the enrolment of the subject.
9. Unable to swallow tablets or disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function and/or inhibiting small intestine absorption such as; mal-absorption syndrome, resection of the small bowel or poorly controlled inflammatory bowel disease affecting the small intestine.

12. Current life-threatening illness, medical condition, systemic disorders (e.g., respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunological, dermatological, neurological, psychiatric disease or any other body system involvement) or laboratory abnormalities which, in the Investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety.
13. History of significant alcoholism or drug abuse within the past 1 year. History or presence of significant smoking (more than 10 cigarettes per day) or consumption of tobacco/nicotine products (more than 10 times per day).
