Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of peginesatide for the maintenance of hemoglobin in participants with chronic kidney disease CKD who had received at least 24 weeks of peginesatide treatment in an earlier study
Detailed Description: Anemia associated with chronic kidney disease is due to several factors primarily the inability of the diseased kidneys to produce adequate amounts of endogenous erythropoietin Ancillary factors include the shortened lifespan of red blood cells iron and other nutritional deficiencies infection and inflammation The presence and severity of anemia are related to the duration and extent of kidney failure Anemia is associated with increased mortality increased likelihood of hospitalization reduced cognitive function and increased left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure

Erythropoiesis stimulating agents have been established as a treatment for anemia in subjects with chronic kidney disease and have improved the management of anemia over alternatives such as transfusion Peginesatide is a parenteral formulation developed for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease Peginesatide binds to and activates the human erythropoietin receptor and stimulates erythropoiesis in human red cell precursors in a manner similar to other known erythropoiesis-stimulating agents ESAs

Study participants had received at least 24 weeks of peginesatide dosing in a previous Affymax-sponsored study NCT00228449 and were to receive doses of peginesatide for approximately 54 months However the Sponsor ended the study early
