Brief Summary  

This study will be a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm study to evaluate efficacy and safety of FPC dialysate solution administered via dialysate to maintain Hb concentrations in CKD patients receiving HD.

The study will be conducted at approximately 25-30 numbers of centers in India, having qualified Investigators. The study will be initiated only after the receipt of Regulatory and Ethics committee (EC) approval.

The study consists of following days of assessments:

·      Screening Visit: (Week -2 to Week -1): Screening

·      Treatment Period (Week 1 to Week 42)

Ø  Study Initiation Visit (Week 1; 2nd HD session): Randomization, Study drug administration, Baseline parameters assessment

Ø  On Treatment Visit (2nd HD session of Week 1 to 2nd HD session of Week 42): Study drug administration, efficacy and safety parameters assessment

·      End of Treatment Visit: 2nd HD session of Week 42; EOT assessment

·      End of study visit/ Follow Up period: From EOT to 3rd HD session of Week 43; EOS assessment
