Trial summary

Anemia is common among cancer patients and the treatment of choice is now Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs). However, some patients do not respond to treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of endogenous erythropoietin rate on the response to erythropoietin beta. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Search for Predictive Markers of Efficacy of Epoetin Beta (NEORECORMON) in the Treatment of Anemia in Patients With Non-myeloid Malignancies Receiving Chemotherapy or Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Anemia is common among cancer patients and the treatment of choice is now Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs). However, some patients do not respond to treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of endogenous erythropoietin rate on the response to erythropoietin beta. First, by confirming the predictive value of endogenous erythropoietin observed / predicted ratio on this response. Then if it is confirmed by establishing the optimal value of this ratio.

Read the detailed description

Anemia is common among cancer patients and the treatment of choice is now Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs). However, some patients do not respond to treatment. Thus, only 50-60% of patients with multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma respond to ESAs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of endogenous erythropoietin rate on the response to erythropoietin beta. First, by confirming the predictive value of endogenous erythropoietin observed / predicted ratio on this response. Then if it is confirmed by establishing the optimal value of this ratio.

What is being measured

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

  1. response to erythropoietin

    • Complete response : increase of 2g/dl of erythropoietin rate or stopping of transfusion requirements.
    • Partial response : increase of 1 to 2g/dl rate of erythropoietin or 50% reduction of transfusion requirements.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. endogenous erythropoietin rate

    Measured: Within 8 days before inclusion

  2. hemoglobin rate

    Weeks 0 = first ESAs injection

    Measured: Weeks 0,4,8 and 12

  3. Number of transfusions during the duration of the study

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Anemia, run by Rennes University Hospital at 5 sites in France.

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 4 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 7 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

response to erythropoietin (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 Mar 2012.
