About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Conversion From Peginesatide to Epoetin Alfa in Subjects Receiving Hemodialysis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether hemodialysis patients on peginesatide can be converted to epoetin alfa by using a predefined conversion table while achieving a stable hemoglobin.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 4, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study designed to evaluate whether patients receiving hemodialysis and treated with peginesatide can be converted to epoetin alfa using a predefined conversion table while achieving stable hemoglobin. The study will be conducted in two phases. Hemodialysis patients treated with epoetin alfa 3 times a week (TIW) will first be converted to peginesatide administered every 4 weeks (Q4W). After 24 weeks, these participants will be converted back to epoetin alfa administered TIW for 32 weeks. The primary endpoint will be the mean hemoglobin during the last 8 weeks of the epoetin alfa period.

What participants receive

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

  • PeginesatideDrug

    Also called Omontys

    All participants will receive peginesatide for the first 24 weeks.

  • Epoetin alfaDrug

    Also called Epogen

    All participants converted to epoetin alfa at week 25 for a total of 32 weeks

Study groups in NCT01737879
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Peginesatide / Epoetin AlfaExperimentalParticipants were treated with peginesatide administered intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. Participants were then to be converted back to epoetin alfa administered by IV 3 times a week for 32 weeks.
Receives: Drug: Peginesatide; Drug: Epoetin alfa

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Hemoglobin Concentration During the Evaluation Period

    The hemoglobin concentrations during the evaluation period after the conversion to epoetin alfa were to be averaged for each participant and then summarized over all participants.

    No participant reached the evaluation period, therefore, the primary efficacy endpoint could not be evaluated.

    Measured: Last 8 weeks of epoetin alfa treatment period period (Weeks 49 to 56).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mean Dose of Epoetin Alfa During the Evaluation Period

    No participant reached the evaluation period, therefore, this endpoint could not be evaluated.

    Measured: Last 8 weeks of epoetin alfa treatment period period (Weeks 49 to 56).

  2. Hemoglobin Concentration by Visit

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21

  3. Peginesatide Dose by Visit

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 5, 9, 13, and 17

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Peginesatide and Epoetin alfa in people with Anemia, run by Amgen at 23 sites in United States.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in United States. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Apr 2014). 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?

Mean Hemoglobin Concentration During the Evaluation Period (time frame: Last 8 weeks of epoetin alfa treatment period period (Weeks 49 to 56).). 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 21 Apr 2014.
