About this study
Official title: An Open Label Study to Assess the Maintenance of Hemoglobin Levels, Safety and Tolerability of Once Monthly Administration of Mircera in Hemodialysis Patients With Chronic Renal Anemia.
This single arm study will assess the long-term maintenance of hemoglobin levels, safety and tolerability of once-monthly intravenous administration of Mircera in hemodialysis patients with chronic renal anemia. Patients currently receiving darboepoetin alfa or epoetin alfa maintenance treatment will receive intravenous Mircera at a starting dose of 120, 200 or 360 micrograms/4 weeks (based on the ESA dose administered on week-1). Subsequent doses will be adjusted to maintain hemoglobin levels within the target range of 10.5-12.5g/dL. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta in people with Anemia, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 3 sites in Denmark.
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 4 inclusion and 3 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Denmark. 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 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Percentage of patients maintaining average Hb concentration within target range during evaluation period (time frame: Weeks 17-24). 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 24 Aug 2016.
