About this study

Official title: Observational Study of Correction of Anaemia With Darbepoetin Alfa at Monthly Dose Frequency in EU and Australian Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis

To describe anaemia correction via haemoglobin measurements taken throughout observation period in ESA naive patients with chronic kidney disease initiated on darbepoetin alfa QM

Read the detailed description

Darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp) is a long-acting ESA approved for treatment of anaemia in CKD patients, and may be administered once a week (QW), once every two weeks (Q2W) or once a month (QM) for correction and for maintenance in CKD patients not on dialysis. Prescribing information for darbepoetin alfa was updated in August 2013 (in EU and Australia), to incorporate the option for correction at QM dosing frequency in CKD patients not on dialysis. There is very little published literature describing QM correction in a real-world setting.

Data obtained from this study are intended to contribute to filling a literature gap and to provide a robust source of information for physicians.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anaemia and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), run by Amgen at 40 sites in 8 countries.

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 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 8 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Greece, Spain and 3 more countries. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Monthly Haemoglobin values (time frame: During the 32 weeks post initiation of darbepoetin alfa QM). 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 8 Mar 2016.
