| Primary | US (FDA) Submission: Mean Hb Change From Baseline to The Average Level During The Evaluation Period (Weeks 28 to 52), Regardless of Rescue Therapy | Hb values under the influence of rescue therapy were not censored in the analysis. Rescue therapy for roxadustat treated participants was defined as recombinant erythropoietin or analogue (ESA) or red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, and rescue therapy for epoetin alfa treated participants was defined as RBC transfusion. Baseline Hb was defined the mean of up to 4 last central lab values prior to the first dose of study treatment. The intermittent missing Hb data was imputed for each treatment relying on non-missing data from all participants within each treatment group using the Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) imputation model, Monotone missing data were imputed by regression from its own treatment group. | Baseline (Day 1, Week 0), Weeks 28 to 52 | |
| Primary | Ex-U.S. Submission: Mean Hb Change From Baseline to the Average Weeks 28 to 36, Without Having Received Rescue Therapy Within 6 Weeks Prior to and During This 8-Week Evaluation Period for Participants Enrolled Under the Original Protocol | Hb values under the influence of rescue therapy were censored up to 6 weeks in the analysis. Rescue therapy for roxadustat treated participants was defined as recombinant erythropoietin or analogue (ESA) or RBC transfusion, and rescue therapy for epoetin alfa treated participants was defined as RBC transfusion. Baseline Hb was defined the mean of up to 4 last central lab values prior to the first dose of study treatment. | Baseline (Day 1, Week 0), Weeks 28 to 36 | |
| Secondary | US (FDA Submission): Hb Responder Rate- Percentage of Participants With Mean Hb Level =10.0 g/dL Averaged Over Weeks 28 to 52, Regardless of Rescue Therapy | Hb values under the influence of rescue therapy were not censored in the analysis. Rescue therapy for roxadustat treated participants was defined as recombinant erythropoietin or analogue (ESA) or RBC transfusion, and rescue therapy for epoetin alfa treated participants was defined as RBC transfusion. | Weeks 28 to 52 | |
| Secondary | Ex-U.S. Submission: Hb Responder Rate- Percentage of Participants With Mean Hb 10.0 to 12.0 g/dL Averaged Over Weeks 28 to 36, Censoring for Rescue Therapy | Hb values under the influence of a rescue therapy were censored up to 6 weeks in the analysis. Rescue therapy for roxadustat treated participants was defined as recombinant erythropoietin or analogue (ESA) or RBC transfusion, and rescue therapy for epoetin alfa treated participants was defined as RBC transfusion. | Weeks 28 to 36 | |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol Averaged Over Weeks 12 to 28 | Baseline LDL Cholesterol was defined as the last available value prior to the first dose of study treatment. | Baseline (Day 1, Week 0), Weeks 12 to 28 | |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Hb Levels Averaged Over Weeks 18 to 24 Regardless of Rescue Therapy in Participants Whose Baseline High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP)> Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) | Hb values under the influence of rescue therapy were not censored in the analysis. Rescue therapy for roxadustat treated participants was defined as recombinant erythropoietin or analogue (ESA) or RBC transfusion, and rescue therapy for epoetin alfa treated participants was defined as RBC transfusion. Baseline Hb was defined the mean of up to 4 last central lab values prior to the first dose of study treatment. The intermittent missing Hb data was imputed for each treatment relying on non-missing data from all participants within each treatment group using the MCMC imputation model, Monotone missing data were imputed by regression from its own treatment group. | Baseline (Day 1, Week 0), Weeks 18 to 24 | |
| Secondary | Average Monthly IV Iron Use Per Patient-Exposure-Month (PEM) During Weeks 28 to 52 | Monthly iron use for each participant= Total IV iron in mg / [(last dose date - first dose date of study medication in the period)+1]/ 28. | Weeks 28 to 52 | |
| Secondary | Time to First RBC Transfusion | Median time to event (weeks) was calculated using Kaplan Meier Survival Estimates. | Baseline (Day 1, Week 0) up to last dose of study drug (maximum treatment duration was 183.7 weeks for roxadustat and 180.4 weeks for epoetin alfa) | |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Averaged Over Weeks 20 to 28 | Baseline MAP was defined as the mean of values obtained within 6 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. | Baseline (Day 1, Week 0), Weeks 20 to 28 | |
| Secondary | Time to First Exacerbation of Hypertension During Weeks 28 to 52 | An exacerbation of hypertension was defined as increase from baseline of =20 mmHg in systolic blood pressure (sBP) and sBP =170 mmHg or an increase from baseline of =15 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure (dBP) and dBP =100 mmHg. Median time to event (weeks) was calculated using Kaplan Meier Survival Estimates. | Weeks 28 to 52 | |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Short Form 36 (SF-36) Version 2 Physical Functioning Subscore and Vitality Subscore at Weeks 12 to 28 | The SF-36 V2 consists of 36 questions covering 8 health domains: physical functioning (10 items), bodily pain (2 items), role limitations due to physical problems (4 items), role limitations due to emotional problems (3 items), general health perceptions (5 items), mental health (5 items), social function (2 items), and vitality (4 items). The physical functioning subscore and vitality subscore are reported. Each scale was transformed into 0-100 score, with higher scores indicating better health status. Baseline score was defined as the last physical functioning value or vitality value, as applicable, prior to the first dose of study drug. | Baseline (Day 1, Week 0), Weeks 12 to 28 |
