Active clinical trials for "Anemia"

The purpose of this study was to determine if alternate dosing of Epoetin alfa was effective in maintaining hemoglobin levels in patients with chemotherapy related anemia.

This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of subcutaneous Mircera, versus no ESA therapy, in chronic kidney disease patients with anemia after kidney transplant, not currently treated with ESA. Patients will be randomized to receive a)subcutaneous Mircera at a recommended starting dose of 0.6 micrograms/kg every 2 weeks, switching to monthly treatment at week 16 or b)supportive treatment (eg. iron supplementation) for management of low hemoglobin concentrations. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

This open-label single-arm study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of methoxy polyethylene glycol epoetin beta on long-term maintenance of haemoglobin levels in patients with chronic renal anaemia. Patients will receive methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta intravenously once monthly at initial doses of either 120 micrograms or 200 micrograms or 360 micrograms in the titration phase of 16 weeks with a potential dose adjustment in the evaluation phase of 8 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks. The target sample size is 50-100 patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AMG 114 administered subcutaneously for the treatment of chemotherapy induced anemia in subjects receiving multicycle chemotherapy.

200 patients with post partum anemia will be randomised to receive either intravenous iron (intervention group) or peroral iron (control group). The hypothesis is that intravenous iron supplementation is superior to standard peroral iron.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of epoetin alfa (PROCRIT®) administered subcutaneously (sc) once every week (qw) vs. no epoetin alfa (PROCRIT®) treatment in patients with cancer who are anemic.

The purpose of this study is to compare the proportion of subjects receiving either Epoetin alfa (PROCRIT®) or placebo who are able to achieve a hemoglobin response, defined by at least a 1 gram/deciliter increase from baseline by Week 17.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of perioperative administration of PROCRIT to that of autologous blood donation on post-operative rehabilitation outcomes in patients undergoing unilateral knee surgery.

The purpose of this research study is to determine fatigue (tiredness) in subjects with chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis with chronic anemia. Fatigue in subjects who get PROCRIT will be compared to fatigue in subjects who get placebo (a medically inactive substance). The study will also evaluate hemoglobin levels (oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells), safety, anemia related health concerns, vitality, arthritis related function and work productivity.

Patients who are admitted to subacute rehabilitation facilities following hospitalization are frequently anemic. The purpose of this study is to see if anemic patients treated with epoetin alfa will have higher hemoglobin levels and better functional recovery at 3, 8, and 12 weeks after study entry compared to patients who do not receive epoetin alfa.
