What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Achieving a hemoglobin concentration greater than or equal to 12.0 g/dL or a greater than or equal to 2.0-g/dL increase in hemoglobin concentration compared to baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to and percentage of subjects with a hemoglobin response

  2. Time to and percentage of subjects with hemoglobin correction

  3. Hemoglobin concentration and change in hemoglobin concentration from baseline

  4. Time to first RBC transfusion and percentage of subjects receiving a RBC transfusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Darbepoetin alfa in people with Anemia and Non-Myeloid Malignancies, run by Amgen.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Achieving a hemoglobin concentration greater than or equal to 12.0 g/dL or a greater than or equal to 2.0-g/dL increase in hemoglobin concentration compared to baseline. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00111462, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2013.
