E.2.1 Main objective: To define optimal factor (e.g. μg MK-2578 per U epoetin) for conversion of epoetin alfa or epoetin beta administered three times weekly (TIW), two times weekly (BIW), or weekly (QW) IV, to MK-2578, administered intravenously monthly or weekly that will maintain Hb at the baseline value (i.e., Hb change from baseline approximately 0 where baseline is defined as the average Hb value during the epoetin alfa/epoetin beta run-in period). To assess the safety and tolerability of MK-2578 (IV) in hemodialysis patients previously treated with epoetin alfa or epoetin beta.
