Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Hgb at Week 4
Baseline and Week 4

Blood samples were collected from participants for measurement of Hgb values. The Baseline value was the latest pre-dose assessment. Change from Baseline at Week 4 was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value. The analysis was performed on All Treated Subjects Population which comprised of all participants who received at least one dose of GSK1278863.

Number of Participants by Hgb Change From Baseline Category at Week 4
Baseline and Week 4

Blood samples were collected from participants for measurement of Hgb values. The Baseline value was the latest pre-dose assessment. Change from Baseline at Week 4 was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value. The change in Hgb at Week 4 was classified into different categories (i.e., \<=-2.0, \>-2.0 to -1.0, \>-1.0 to 0, \>0 to 1.0, \>1.0 to 2.0, and \>2 g/dL), and the number of participants in each category were summarized.

Change From Baseline in Hgb Levels at Day 29
Baseline and Day 29

Blood samples were collected from participants for measurement of Hgb values. Baseline is the average of Hgb measured at Week -2 and Day 1 visits. Change from Baseline at Day 29 was defined as post dose value at Day 29 minus Baseline value. The analysis was performed on intent-to-treat (ITT) Population which comprised of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study treatment, had a Baseline and at least one corresponding on treatment assessment, including Hgb.

Change From Baseline (CFB) in Hemaglobin (Hgb) at Week 4
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 4

Baseline was defined as the value on Day 1. CFB was calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the post-dose value at Week 4. To model the dose-response relationship a four-parameter Emax model was used. E0 is the expected Hgb change from Baseline for a participant receiving placebo and experiencing the average Hgb Baseline observed in the study. Emax is the expected Hgb change from Baseline for a participant receiving the highest dose above which no further increase in response can be achieved. ED50 is the dose that attains the intermediate response. Gamma is the slope parameter. Minimal Effective Dose (MED) is defined as the smallest dose that achieves a placebo-corrected change of 0.5 g/dL over Week 4. Target dose (TD) is defined as the dose that achieves a placebo-corrected 1.0 g/dL change over Week 4. Maximum Acceptable Dose (MAD) is defined as the dose that achieves a placebo-corrected 2.0 g/dL change over Week 4.

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (Hgb) at Week 4
Baseline (Week -4, Week-2 and Day 1) and Week 4

Baseline Hgb value was the average of three Hgb values taken during screening period at Week (W) -4, W-2 and Day 1. Change from Baseline in Hgb was calculated as W4 value minus the Baseline value. To model the dose-response relationship a four-parameter Emax model was used. The dose response dataset was based on all non-missing data collected up to W4. Participants (par.) who had a Week 2 Hgb measurement, but a missing Week 4 Hgb measurement were included with a change from Baseline at Week 4 value imputed as twice the change from Baseline at Week 2. E0 is the expected Hgb change from Baseline for a par. receiving placebo and experiencing the average Hgb Baseline observed in the study. Emax is the expected Hgb change from Baseline for a par. receiving the highest dose above which no further increase in response can be achieved. ED50 is the dose that attains the intermediate response. Gamma is the slope parameter. Alpha is the coefficient of the model covariate for centred Baseline.

CSF samples for the analysis of GFAP was collected at Baseline and within 48 hours following DTA/TAAA repair to assess peak change from Baseline in CSF GFAP. Baseline was defined at Day 0. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-Baseline value minus Baseline value.

Summary of Hemoglobin (Hgb) Concentration at Week 24
Week 24

The original Hgb Criteria for Group 1- rhEPO naive participants with a stable baseline Hgb of 8.0-10.0 g/dL (8.0-10.0 g/dL USA site only) and for Group 2- rhEPO users with a stable baseline Hgb of 9.0-10.5 g/dL (9.0-10.5 g/dL USA site only); the Hgb target range was 9.0 to 10.5 g/dL (9.0-10.5 g/dL USA site only). The study amended Hgb Criteria for Group 1- rhEPO naive participants with a stable baseline Hgb of 8.0-11.0 g/dL and Group 2- rhEPO users with a stable baseline Hgb of 9.0-11.5 g/dL; Hgb target range - 10.0 to 11.5 g/dL. Data are presented for those participants following the original criteria ("Original") and those following the amended ("Amended") criteria.

For modeled change at Week 4 participants required a Baseline and two or more non missing post-baseline values. Baseline is the average of Week -2, -1 and Day 1 values. The model included fixed effects for Baseline Hgb, treatment, and treatment by day interaction. Covariate analysis for modeled Hgb change was performed. Random effects were fitted in the intercept and the slope over time.

Modeled Hgb Change From Baseline Over 4 Weeks of Treatment
Baseline (average of Week -2, -1 and Day 1) and Week 4

Modeled Hgb change from baseline over 4 weeks was derived using a random coefficient mixed effects linear regression model. The model included fixed effects for baseline Hgb, treatment and a treatment by day interaction. Random effects was fitted in the intercept and the slope over time. All data up until investigational product discontinuation was included for Hgb efficacy evaluable participants; where efficacy evaluable was defined as having a baseline and at least 2 on-treatment Hgb assessments. Baseline was the average of Week -2 , Week -1 and Day 1 visits. The change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value from the individual post-dose visit values.
