About this study

Official title: Dosing and Outcomes Study of Erythropoietic Stimulating Therapies

The purpose of this study is to describe patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes in adult patients with cancer who are receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating therapy (EST).

Read the detailed description

The Dosing and Outcomes Study of Erythropoietic Stimulating Therapies (DOSE) is a prospective, observational multicenter registry of approximately 1200 adult cancer patients receiving treatment with EST; eg, epoetin alfa or darbepoetin alfa. The planned duration of the DOSE Registry is three years. Based on initial results, the registry sponsor may elect to extend the duration of the registry.This study does not specify treatment protocols, require any particular assignment of patients to treatment protocols, or in any other way require participating physicians to alter their practice patterns. Participating physicians are instructed to continue to treat all patients according to their own best clinical judgment, but to submit information on baseline patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes. Baseline determinations will include patient demographics, tumor and treatment type, hematologic parameters, and patient reported outcomes. Data will be collected over the 16-week study period with regard to EST treatment, hematologic outcomes and patient reported outcomes.

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?

To document patient characteristics and patterns of clinical management (time frame: Up to 3 years). 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 NCT00212862, 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?
