About this study
Official title: An Open-Label, Clinical Evaluation of the Initiation of Every 2 Week Epoetin Alfa (PROCRIT)in the Treatment of Subjects With the Anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hemoglobin response rate in subjects with anemia, associated with chronic kidney failure, after receiving epoetin alfa (PROCRIT®) every 2 weeks
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective study in non-dialysis subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. Subjects will be enrolled from multiple centers in the United States. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate hemoglobin response rate. The secondary objectives include evaluating the time to when hemoglobin responds, indicated by the results of the hemoglobin blood levels, the change in hemoglobin over time, the transfusion requirements and change in quality of life measurements. These measurements asks for the subjects views about how one feels, activity and energy level, etc. The subjects are administered study drug every 2 weeks through Study Week 27 unless dosing is held or the subject withdraws from the study. Each injection of study drug should not exceed 1 ml in volume.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The primary endpoint is the number of subjects who achieve a hemoglobin response after receiving PROCRIT every 2 weeks. Hemoglobin response is defined as achieving a target hemoglobin range of 11-12 g/dL for at least 2 consecutive weeks by Week 28.
Secondary outcomes (1)
The secondary endpoints include: the time to a hemoglobin response, the number of subjects achieving a 1 g/dL rise in hemoglobin, change in quality of life measurements, and the total study drug dose up to the time of response.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing epoetin alfa in people with Anemia and Kidney Diseases, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2011. 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?
The primary endpoint is the number of subjects who achieve a hemoglobin response after receiving PROCRIT every 2 weeks. Hemoglobin response is defined as achieving a target hemoglobin range of 11-12 g/dL for at least 2 consecutive weeks by Week 28.. 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 NCT00210743, 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 23 May 2011.
