About this study
Official title: An Open-Label Study of PROCRIT (Epoetin Alfa) in Women Undergoing Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Stage I, II, or III Breast Cancer
RATIONALE: Epoetin alfa may stimulate red blood cell production to treat patients who have anemia following chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Phase IV trial to study the effectiveness of epoetin alfa in treating chemotherapy-related anemia in women who have stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effectiveness and safety of epoetin alfa in patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy for stage I, II, or III breast cancer. II. Determine the clinical outcomes in these patients receiving this drug.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive epoetin alfa subcutaneously once weekly for up to 24 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, at week 13, and at study completion.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 2,500 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing epoetin alfa and quality-of-life assessment in people with Anemia and Breast Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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 18 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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.
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 18 Jul 2013.
