About this study

Official title: Clinical Registry Describing Treatment Reality of Patients With Cancer-(Therapy)-Induced Anemia

The purpose of this registry is to record information of routine treatment of anemia in cancer patients in Germany. An overview of the current treatment of anemia in German outpatient centers and hospitals will be provided. Primary outcome parameters, e.g. improvement in hemoglobin levels and changes in QoL, as well as patient characteristics of different treatments will be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Documentation of therapies

    Overview on the current routine treatment of anemia in cancer patients in Germany

    Measured: 12 weeks per patient

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in hemoglobin levels and QoL

    Effectiveness of different antianemic treatments is investigated by measuring increase of hemoglobin levels and QoL (FACT-An and FACT-GP).

    Baseline in hemoglobin (before treatment) is compared with hemoglobin levels after treatment. Each patient is followed for a maximum of 12 weeks to obtain data about the course of the treatment.

    Measured: 12 weeks per patient

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?

Documentation of therapies (time frame: 12 weeks per patient). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01795690, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
