About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Phase IIIb, Multi-Centre, Randomised, Parallel-Group Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Three Dosing Schedules of Subcutaneous Dynepo in Adult Patients With Anaemia Associated With Chronic Kidney Disease Who Are Pre-Dialysis or Require Peritoneal Dialysis or Haemodialysis

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.

Being tested
Dynepo (Epoetin delta), Dynepo

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (Hb) Concentration at 24 Weeks

    This study terminated early due to a decision by Shire Pharmaceuticals to permanently cease marketing Dynepo due to commercial reasons, it was not the result of any safety signal. Not enough subjects completed the study to do any efficacy analyses.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Patients Who Achieve Hb Levels of > or Equal to 11 g/dL

    This study terminated early due to a decision by Shire Pharmaceuticals to permanently cease marketing Dynepo due to commercial reasons, it was not the result of any safety signal. Not enough subjects completed the study to do any efficacy analyses.

    Measured: week 16 and 24

  2. Change From Baseline in Hematocrits at 16 and 24 Weeks

    This study terminated early due to a decision by Shire Pharmaceuticals to permanently cease marketing Dynepo due to commercial reasons, it was not the result of any safety signal. Not enough subjects completed the study to do any efficacy analyses.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 16 and 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Dynepo (Epoetin delta) and Dynepo in people with Anemia and Kidney Failure, run by Shire at 53 sites in 7 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 53 sites in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and 2 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Nov 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (Hb) Concentration at 24 Weeks (time frame: Baseline and 24 weeks). 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 NCT00450333, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Jun 2021.
