Filter by:The purpose of this study was to determine if alternate dosing of Epoetin alfa was effective in maintaining hemoglobin levels in patients with chemotherapy related anemia.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate hemoglobin stability in subjects who had received darbepoetin alfa for a minimum of 3 months prior to study entry who were then converted to epoetin alfa at the same dosing frequency to maintain a hemoglobin level of 12 plus or minus 1 g/dL (range 11-13- g/dL).
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera) in the maintenance of hemoglobin levels in patients who have previously received treatment with epoetin alfa or darbepoetin alfa, and who are transitioning from chronic kidney disease stage 4 through dialysis. Patients will be randomized either to receive Mircera or to remain on their existing therapy; the initial monthly dose of subcutaneous (sc) Mircera (120-360 micrograms) will be based on the average weekly dose of epoetin alfa or darbepoetin alfa administered in the week preceding the switch to Mircera. At the initiation of dialysis, patients in the Mircera group will receive monthly intravenous (iv) Mircera at a starting dose based on their previous (sc) dose, and those in the control group will receive weekly (iv) epoetin alfa. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of peginesatide for the maintenance of hemoglobin in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who had received at least 24 weeks of peginesatide treatment in an earlier study.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of efficacy between twice weekly and once weekly dose schedule of Dynepo in previously erythropoietin (EPO)-naive patients, as measured by haemoglobin at week 24 and secondly to demonstrate the non-inferiority of efficacy between once weekly and once every two weeks dose schedules of Dynepo in patients previously stable on EPO, as measured by Hb over Weeks 16 to 24.
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy of monthly Mircera and epoetin alfa in peritoneal dialysis patients who self-inject at home or receive in-centre injections. The safety of subcutaneous (sc) Mircera and injection site reactions and patient satisfaction will also be assessed. Eligible patients will be randomized either to receive monthly sc injections of Mircera (and will be switched from sc epoetin alfa) at a starting dose of 120-360 micrograms, or to remain on standard of care sc epoetin alfa. Dose adjustments will be permitted to reach/maintain a hemoglobin level of 10-12g/dL. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This study will determine whether 8 weekly monitoring of hemoglobin and iron parameters in the correction phase of NeoRecormon therapy in patients with renal anemia is as safe and effective as 4 weekly monitoring. Patients with chronic kidney disease will receive NeoRecormon at a dose aimed at achieving and maintaining a Hb level of 110-130g/L. They will be randomized into one of two schedules for monitoring hemoglobin levels and iron parameters, either 4 weekly or 8 weekly. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 inidividuals.
The primary objectives of this study are the following: 1. To test if the proportion of participants achieving a hemoglobin value greater than or equal to 10.0 g/dL at any time point after the first dose during the study is greater than 0.8 when administered de novo darbepoetin alfa once a week (QW) for treatment of anemia in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease receiving and not receiving dialysis, and 2. To test if the proportion of participants achieving a hemoglobin value greater than or equal to 10.0 g/dL at any time point after the first dose during the study is greater than 0.8 when administered de novo darbepoetin alfa every 2 weeks (Q2W) for treatment of anemia in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease receiving and not receiving dialysis.
This 2 arm study will compare 'time and motion' (provider time spent on anemia management) and effect on hemoglobin (Hb) levels, of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera) and epoetin alfa, in anemic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis. Patients stable on intravenous (iv) epoetin alfa will be randomized either to receive standard of care therapy (epoetin alfa (iv) 3 times weekly), or to receive Mircera 120-360 micrograms (iv), monthly. After a titration period, average time spent on anemia treatment over a 3 month period will be evaluated. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to compare hemoglobin response rates between two PROCRIT (epoetin alfa) doses and ARANESP (darbepoetin alfa) in anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy
