Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the response rate obtained in an heterogeneous oncologic population treated by chemotherapy, and either by Darbepoetin alfa classic treatment or by association of Darbepoetin alfa -ferric saccharose systematic supplementation, administered concomitantly with chemotherapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp®)Drug

  • Ferric saccharose(Venofer®)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Biological response rate for each group.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To determine tolerance for ferric saccharose (Venofer®)

  2. To determine percentage of patients who necessitate an increase of Darbepoetin alfa's dose(Aranesp®)

  3. To determine percentage of hemoglobin rate's correction

  4. To determine biological parameters's evolution

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp®) and Ferric saccharose(Venofer®) in people with Neoplasms and Anemia, run by Institut Claudius Regaud at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Biological response rate for each group.. 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 14 Nov 2006.
