Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will obtain data to show insight into clinical outcomes of patients switching from Darbepoetin Alfa to a epoetin alfa biosimilar.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Biosimilars were approved in 2007 by the EMA in EU and in 2010 by the TGA in Australia. This study will look at the retrospective data of patients that have switched from Darbepoetin Alfa to an approved epoetin alfa biosimilar. Data will be collected for the 26 week period prior to switch and a 26 week period post switch to a biosimilar. Data to be collected includes haemoglobin measurements, dose requirements, iron use, any transfusions, hospitalisations and other lab values including TSAT, Ferritin and albumin. Data from the study will be published.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients ≥18 years of age
* Patients with CKD on haemodialysis and fulfilling the following:

* Received HD for at least 26 weeks prior to switching from treatment with darbepoetin alfa to treatment with an EMA/TGA-approved epoetin alfa biosimilar
* Received darbepoetin alfa treatment i.v. for at least 26 weeks immediately prior to switching to an EMA/TGA-approved epoetin alfa biosimilar (breaks due to treatment being intentionally withheld are permitted)
* Switched from darbepoetin alfa treatment to an EMA/TGA-approved epoetin alfa biosimilar at least 26 weeks prior to enrolment
* Received at least one dose of an EMA/TGA-approved epoetin alfa biosimilar after switching from darbepoetin alfa treatment
* Mean monthly Hb 10-12g/dL in the 12 weeks prior to switch
* Stable darbepoetin alfa dose (i.e. no more than one increment or decrement of PFS) in the 12 weeks prior to switch
* Patient or patient's legally acceptable representative has provided informed consent, if applicable according to local requirements

Exclusion Criteria

* Treatment with an ESA other than darbepoetin alfa during the 12 weeks prior to switch to biosimilar
* More than 14 days' cumulative treatment with short-acting ESA during weeks 26-13 prior to switch to biosimilar
* Subject received chemotherapy or major surgery during the 26 weeks prior to switch to biosimilar
* Subject was enrolled in an interventional device or drug study at any time during the 52-week data observation period or within 30 days prior to commencement of the data observation period.
