Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of epoetin alfa at doses of 150, 300, or 600 units per kilogram of body weight versus placebo in facilitating presurgical collection of blood for self-donation during surgery of the knee, hip or spine. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of epoetin alfa versus placebo in reducing or preventing the need for transfusions in anemic patients with non-myeloid cancer on non-platinum chemotherapy, and to investigate quality-of-life benefits associated with the use of epoetin alfa. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of epoetin alfa and to determine whether epoetin alfa will facilitate self-donation of blood before surgery in patients who have anemia, (as indicated by low hematocrit levels, the percent of red blood cells in whole blood) and who will be undergoing orthopedic surgery. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of epoetin alfa versus placebo in reducing the transfusion requirements in anemic patients with multiple myeloma, and to investigate the quality-of-life benefits associated with the use of epoetin alfa. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of epoetin alfa and to determine whether epoetin alfa will reduce the need for blood transfusions during the period of time around major orthopedic surgery. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of epoetin alfa and its effectiveness in facilitating the presurgical collection of blood from anemic patients for possible self-transfusion during and after scheduled joint surgery and its effectiveness in reducing surgery-related transfusion requirements. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment with epoetin alfa versus placebo on the percentage of red blood cells in anemic patients with chronic lymphocytic (white blood cell) leukemia and its effect on the patients' quality-of-life. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of epoetin alfa and to determine the effectiveness of epoetin alfa in reducing the need for blood transfusions after major orthopedic surgery. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of epoetin alfa versus placebo for the treatment of anemia in AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) patients with anemia that is a result of this disease and zidovudine (AZT) treatment. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of epoetin alfa versus placebo in the treatment of persistent anemia caused by advanced cancer and aggressive cisplatin chemotherapy. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
