Inclusion Criteria: -at least 18 years old - Diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and receiving dialysis for at least 3 months prior to screening - Baseline Hb level greater than or equal to 10.0 g/dL and less than or equal to 13.0 g/dL - Adequate iron stores (defined as serum ferritin greater than or equal to 100 µg/L or transferrin saturation [TSAT] greater than or equal to 20%) - Stable IV (epoetin alfa or beta) or SC rHuEPO (epoetin beta) therapy 2 or 3 times per week for at least 8 weeks before screening (stable is defined as less than 25% change in weekly dose and no change in frequency or route) - All subjects must practice adequate contraception (in the judgment of the investigator) throughout this trial. Exclusion Criteria: - Received SC epoetin alfa in the 12 months before screening - Uncontrolled hypertension (diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mmHg or systolic blood pressure greater than 180 mmHg on 2 separate occasions during screening) - Prior history (within 12 weeks before enrolment) of cardiovascular events including:

  • acute myocardial ischemia;
  • hospitalization for congestive heart failure;
  • myocardial infarction. - Pregnant or breast-feeding women - Treatment with an investigational agent or device within 30 days before screening or scheduled to receive an investigational agent other than those specified by this protocol during the course of this study - Known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered during dosing - Disorder that compromises the ability of the subject to give written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures

About this study

Official title: A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Converting From Intravenous or Subcutaneous rHuEPO to Intravenous Darbepoetin Alfa (Aranesp®) in Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease Receiving Haemodialysis

Treatment period 1:To demonstrate that switching HD subjects with a baseline haemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 10 g/dL and ≤ 13 g/dL from either subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) rHuEPO to IV darbepoetin alfa results in a mean Hb > 11 g/dL.

Treatment Period 2:To demonstrate that switching subjects with a Hb > 11 g/dL and ≤ 13 g/dL from once weekly IV darbepoetin alfa to once every 2 weeks (Q2W) maintains the mean Hb at > 11 g/dL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment period 1: Mean haemoglobin during the evaluation period (weeks 21-24)

  2. Treatment period 2: Mean haemoglobin during evaluation period 2 (weeks 45-48)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Treatment period 2: Change in Hb between Evaluation Period 1 and Evaluation Period 2

  2. Treatment period 2: The proportion of subjects with a change in Hb between Evaluation Period 1 and Evaluation Period 2 within the inclusive range -1.0 to +1.5 g/dL

  3. Treatment period 2: The proportion of subjects with a mean Hb > 11.0 g/dL during Evaluation Period 2

  4. Treatment period 2: Dose and frequency of darbepoetin alfa administration over the treatment period

  5. Treatment period 1:The proportion of subjects with a mean Hb > 11.0 g/dL during the evaluation period

  6. Treatment period 1: Change in Hb between screening/baseline and the evaluation period

  7. Treatment period 1: Dose and frequency of darbepoetin alfa administration over the treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Aranesp® in people with Kidney Disease, run by Amgen.

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 5 May 2008. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment period 1: Mean haemoglobin during the evaluation period (weeks 21-24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 5 May 2008.
