## Interventions

- **Epoetin beta** (DRUG) — Treatment will be given according to standard of care and the Summary of Product Characteristics during the study.

## Primary Outcomes

- **Change in Hemoglobin (Hb) Level From Baseline to End of Treatment (EOT)** _(time frame: Baseline, Month 4)_ — The change in Hb level from Baseline to the EOT visit at Month 4 was averaged among all participants and expressed in grams per liter (g/L).

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Percentage of Participants by Change in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status From Baseline to EOT** _(time frame: Baseline, Month 4)_
