What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least One Hemoglobin Cycling

    Hemoglobin cycling was defined as 1 or more cycles of oscillation in hemoglobin with an amplitude of greater than or equal to (>=) 1.5 gram per deciliter (g/dL) and a duration >=8 weeks.

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Full Hemoglobin Cycles Per Participant

    Hemoglobin cycling was defined as 1 or more cycles of oscillation in hemoglobin with an amplitude of >=1.5 g/dL and a duration >=8 weeks.

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Who Experienced at Least 1 Hemoglobin Cycling

    Hemoglobin cycling was defined as 1 or more cycles of oscillation in hemoglobin with an amplitude of >=1.5 g/dL and a duration >=8 weeks.

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 33 sites in Greece.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in Greece. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Dec 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Participants With at Least One Hemoglobin Cycling (time frame: 9 months). 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 Jul 2017.
