Mean Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (Hgb) During Evaluation Period (Week 28 to Week 52) |
Blood samples were collected from participants for Hgb measurement. Hgb during the evaluation period was defined as the mean of all available post-randomization Hgb values (on and off-treatment) during the evaluation period (Week 28 to Week 52). For the primary analysis missing post-Baseline Hgb values were imputed using pre-specified multiple imputations. Change from Baseline was defined as the average of post-randomization values during the evaluation period minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model including randomization stratification factors Baseline Hgb and treatment was performed to obtain a point estimate and two-sided 95 percent (%) confidence interval (CI) for the treatment difference (daprodustat-darbepoetin alfa). |

Average Monthly Intravenous Iron Dose (Milligrams) From Baseline to Week 52 |
Total IV iron dose per participant was calculated from Day 1 to the earliest of (Week 52 visit date, first blood [red blood cells or whole blood] transfusion date and treatment stop date plus [+] 1 day) which corresponds to the time while the participant was on randomized treatment and before receiving a blood transfusion. Average monthly IV iron dose was calculated by Total IV iron dose divided by (/) (the number of days from Day 1 to the earliest of [Week 52 visit date, first blood transfusion date and treatment stop date +1] /30.4375 days). Data for participants until they underwent a red blood cells or whole blood transfusion was included in the analysis. |

Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Blood Pressure (MAP) at Week 52 |
SBP, DBP and MAP were measured in a semi-supine or seated position in the dialysis chair after at least a 5-minutes of rest. MAP is an average BP in an individual's arteries during a single cardiac cycle. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. This analysis was carried out by using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model. |

Change From Baseline in SBP, DBP, MAP at End of Treatment |
SBP, DBP and MAP were measured in a semi-supine or seated position in the dialysis chair after at least a 5-minutes of rest. MAP is an average BP in an individual's arteries during a single cardiac cycle. End of treatment value for the blood pressure parameters were defined as the latest value on or before the last non-zero dose date plus (+) 1 day. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. This analysis was carried out by using ANCOVA model. |

Change From Baseline in Physical Component Score (PCS) Using Short Form (SF)-36 Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Questionnaire at Weeks 8, 12, 28, 52 |
The SF-36 acute version 2 is a 36-item generic quality of life instrument designed to measure a participant's level of performance in the following 8 health domains: physical functioning, role-physical (role limitations caused by physical problems), social functioning, bodily pain, mental health, role-emotional (role limitations caused by emotional problems), vitality and general health. Each domain is scored from 0 (poorer health) to 100 (better health). The PCS is an average score derived from 4 domains (physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain and general health) representing overall physical health. PCS ranges from 0 to 100; higher scores represent better health. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. |

Change From Baseline in Health Utility EuroQol 5 Dimensions 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire Score at Week 52 |
EQ-5D-5L consists of 2 concepts-EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and EQ Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS). EQ-5D-5L is self-assessment questionnaire, consisting of 5items covering 5 dimensions (mobility,self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). Each dimension is measured by 5-point Likert scale(no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems). Responses for 5 dimensions together formed a 5-figure description of health state(e.g.11111 indicates no problems in all 5 dimensions). Each of these 5 figure health states were converted to a single index score by applying country-specific value set formula that attaches weights to dimensions and levels. Range for EQ-5D-5L index score is -0.594 (worst health) to 1 (full health), higher the score better the health status. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value-Baseline value. Baseline was latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before randomization date. |

Change From Baseline in EQ Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) at Week 52 |
The EQ-5D-5L consists of 2 concepts -EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and EQ-VAS. The EQ-5D-5L is a self-assessment questionnaire, consisting of five items covering five dimensions (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). Each dimension is measured by a five-point Likert scale (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems). The range for the EQ-5D-5L index score is 0 to 1 with '0' is worst health and '1' is full health. The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical VAS, ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst health one can imagine and 100 represents the best health one can imagine. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. |

Change From Baseline in Chronic Kidney Disease- Anemia Symptoms Questionnaire (CKD-AQ) at Week 52 |
CKD-AQ is 21-item patient reported outcome measure assessing symptoms and symptom impact in participants with anemia associated with CKD. It had 3 domains: 1.Tired/Low Energy/Weak scale consisting of 10 items; 2.Chest Pain/Shortness of Breath scale consisting of 4 items; and 3.Cognitive scale consisting of 3 items. The 4 CKD-AQ single items are: (shortness of breath, no activity), (severity-short breath, resting), (difficulty standing for long time) and (difficulty sleeping). Single-item were recorded based on a 0-100 scoring with 0=worst possible and 100=best possible score. Three domains scores were calculated as average of items in each domain and ranged from 0-100 where 0=worst possible and 100=best possible score. Change from Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the latest non-missing pre-dose assessment on or before the randomization date. |
