Trial Outcomes & Findings for Darbepoetin Alfa With or Without Iron in Treating Anemia Caused By Chemotherapy in Patients With Cancer (NCT NCT00661999)

NCT ID: NCT00661999

Last Updated: 2011-05-17

Results Overview

Hematopoietic response was defined as Hemoglobin (Hb) increment of 2.0 g/dL from baseline or achievement of Hb \>= 11 g/dL (whichever occurs first) in the absence of red blood cell transfusions during the preceding 28 days during the treatment period.

Participant Flow

Five-hundred and two (502) participants were recruited between February 2006 and December 2008 at Mayo Clinic Cancer Research Consortium (MCCRC) sites.

Eight patients canceled before the first dose of darbepoetin alfa (DA) (3 DA + Intravenously (IV) Iron, 3 DA + Oral Iron and 2 DA + Placebo); and 4 patients were ineligible (2 DA + Oral Iron, 2 DA + Placebo). These 12 patients were excluded from all analysis.
