NCT ID NCT02567188
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well MIRCERA works for anemia in people with chronic kidney disease stages 3-4 who are not yet on dialysis. Researchers tracked 144 patients over 12 months to see if their hemoglobin levels stayed in a healthy range. The goal was to gather real-world data on safety and effectiveness.
