Brief Summary  

A Phase I/II, Open label, Single escalating dose study to assess safety, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of polysialylated erythropoietin administered intravenously in 40 hemodialysis patients. Four intravenous doses of polysialylated erythropoietin (0.5 mcg/kg, 1.5 mcg/kg, 3.0 mcg/kg and 4.5 mcg/kg body weight) are planned to be investigated. Forty subjects will be enrolled into the study in four cohorts of ten subjects each. All subjects will be followed up for a period of 28 days to assess safety, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of polysialylated erythropoietin.
