* 18 years of age or older at the time of screening
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0-2
* Adequate liver and kidney function Exclusion Criteria:
* Known primary hematologic disorder, which could cause anemia, other than non-myeloid malignancies
* History of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), hairy cell leukemia, Burkitt's lymphoma, or lymphoblastic lymphoma
* Serum folate \<= 2.0 ng/mL or vitamin B12 \<= 200 pg/mL at screening (anemia related to nutritional deficiencies)
* Iron deficiency \[transferrin saturation (TSAT) \< 15% and serum ferritin \< 10 ng/mL\] at screening
* Other diagnoses not related to cancer or chemotherapy, which cause anemia (ie, hemolysis, bleeding, sickle cell anemia)
* Clinically significant inflammatory disease as determined by the investigator (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease)
* Clinically significant co-morbid medical or psychiatric conditions that may impact subject safety or confound the ability to evaluate study endpoint as determined by the investigator

* Diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg at screening
* Known hypersensitivity of erythropoietic-stimulating proteins (ESPs) or any excipients
* Known history of pure red cell aplasia
* Known positive antibody response to an ESP
* Use of investigational agents not approved or any indication during the previous 30 days prior to enrollment
* ESP therapy (i.e., recombinant human erythropoietin \[rHuEPO\] or darbepoetin alfa) within 21 days prior to screening or between screening and the first dose of study drug
* RBC transfusion(s) within 21 days prior to screening
* Pregnant or breast-feeding women - Previously enrolled in this study
* Known to be HIV, hepatitis B or C positive
