Change in Hb Concentration (g/dL) From Baseline to the Average of the Last 8 Weeks of Treatment Through Week 22
From baseline through Week 22

The change is calculated as average hemoglobin (Hb) over the last 8 weeks subtracts the baseline Hb. Only Hb measurements up until a participant receives a transfusion or begins dialysis were included in calculating the average Hb during the last 8 weeks of treatment through Week 22.
