About this study

Official title: An Observational, Prospective Study to Evaluate the Hemoglobin Levels in Non-Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease Subjects With Renal Anemia, Treated With MIRCERA (Methoxy-Polyethylene-Glycol-Epoetin Beta)

This prospective observational study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) in chronic kidney disease participants on dialysis with renal anemia. Participants initiated on treatment with Mircera according to the Summary of Product Characteristics and standard clinical practice were followed for 10 months.

Conditions: Anemia
Medical subject headings: Anemia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01902628
Study group	Role	What they receive
Participants with CKD		This single cohort included participants with CKD not receiving dialysis (Stages 3 and 4), with renal anemia, treated with MIRCERA according to usual clinical practice.

What is being measured

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

Percentage of Participants With Hemoglobin Levels Within 10.0 - 12.0 g/dL at Months 8-10
g/dL = grams per deciliter
Measured: Months 8 to 10

Secondary outcomes (3)

Percentage of Participants With Hemoglobin Levels Within the Following Ranges: 11.0 - 12.0 g/dL, 11.0 - 13.0 g/dL, and 10.0 - 13.0 g/dL at Months 8-10
g/dL = grams per deciliter
Measured: Months 8 to 10
Percentage of Participants With MIRCERA Dose Adjustments
Changes in Mircera dose since last visit are reported. The numbers of participants for which data were not reported are also indicated.
Measured: Up to 10 months
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (AEs) and Non-Serious AEs
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. A serious AE is any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect, or precaution.
Measured: Up to 10 months

Population analysed: The intent-to-treat population included all eligible participants who received at least one dose of MIRCERA during the observational period, and who had evaluable data.

3 secondary outcomes are reported in the full results.

Adverse events

Time frame: Up to 10 months. Other adverse events reported at 0% frequency or more

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 24 sites in Greece.

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 5 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 9 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in Greece. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Aug 2018). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Hemoglobin Levels Within 10.0 - 12.0 g/dL at Months 8-10 (time frame: Months 8 to 10). 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 NCT01902628.

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 9 Aug 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
