Summary

This is a double-blind, randomized, active-control study with 2-study arms-darbepoetin alfa biosimilar and Aranesp, noninferiority trial design in dialysis patients. Dialysis patients will be randomized into 1:1 ratio to receive either Darbepoetin alfa or Aranesp 0.75 µg/kg by subcutaneous injection every other week for 24 weeks.

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters for evaluation are assessed as per study endpoints at defined time points on all patients.

During the treatment, dose adjustments will be made as necessary to achieve a hemoglobin response, defined as maintaining Hb in target range 10 - 12 g/dL.

BIOLOGICAL

Stimus

* NNG-DEPO (Darbepoetin alfa 10 mcg/0.4 mL, 20 mcg/0.5 mL, 40 mcg/0.4 mL, 60 mcg/0.3 mL) is available as a prefilled syringe in a sterile, colorless, glass tube. * Aranesp® (Darbepoetin alfa 10 mcg/ 0.4 mL, 20 mcg/ 0.5 mL, 40 mcg/ 0.4 mL, 60 mcg/ 0.3 mL) is manufactured by Amgen, as a pre-filled syringe in a sterile, glass tube, colourless. Storage: 2-8ºC, not frozen. The process of transporting and storing the drug must ensure the temperature in the range of 2-8ºC. NNG-DEPO/Aranesp is administered subcutaneously (or intravenously for patients with PK-PD in the previous IV group), at a dose of 0.75 g/kg initially, every 2 weeks at the second visit. IPs will be prepared according to standard procedure (SOP). Dosage adjustment guideline: Patients will have hemoglobin levels monitored every 2 weeks. The investigators will evaluate and adjust the dose of Darbepoetin alfa to maintain the Hb levels within the target range (10 - 12 g/dL)
