Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving a hemoglobin response, defined as an increase of more than 2 gm per dL from baseline or an absolute Hb more than or equal to 12 gm per dL without requiring transfusion supportTimepoint: Week 10 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| mean HBTimepoint: Weeks 4, 8, 10, 12;Proportion receiving RBC transfusionTimepoint: from randomization to 30 days post-chemo;Proportion of subjects maintaining relative doseintensity of chemotherapy more than 85 percentageTimepoint: from randomization to chemotherapy completion;Patient reported fatigue & QoL measured with FACT - anemia scaleTimepoint: at baseline, week 4, week 10, end of chemotherapy | — |
