• Ferritin ≥ 50 nanograms (ng)/mililiter (mL), Transferrin saturation (TSAT) ≥ 10% at screening
• Participant's alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN), and total bilirubin (TBL) is ≤ 1.5 x ULN at screening and prior to initiating roxadustat treatment.
• Body weight between 45.0 to 160.0 kg

Key Exclusion Criteria:

• Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
• Known history of myelodysplastic syndrome or multiple myeloma
• Known hereditary hematologic disease or other known causes for anemia other than chronic kidney disease (CKD)

• Uncontrolled hypertension, in the opinion of the Investigator
• Participant has a diagnosis or suspicion (for example, complex kidney cyst of Bosniak Category II or higher) of renal cell carcinoma (Principal Investigator's discretion)
• History of malignancy, except for cancers determined to be cured or in remission for ≥ 2 years, curatively resected basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers, cervical cancer in situ, or resected colonic polyps
