Weekly Administration of Epoetin Beta for Chemotherapy-induced Anemia in Cancer Patients: Results of a Multicenter, Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study

Objective The efficacy and safety of weekly administration of epoetin beta (EPO) for chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) patients was evaluated.

description Objective The efficacy and safety of weekly administration of epoetin beta (EPO) for chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) patients was evaluated. Methods One hundred and twenty-two patients with lung cancer or malignant lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy were randomized to the EPO 36 000 IU group or the placebo group. Hematological response and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirement were assessed. Quality of life (QOL) was assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Anemia (FACT-An) questionnaire. Results Mean change in hemoglobin level with EPO increased significantly over placebo (1.4 ± 1.9 g/dl versus −0.8 ± 1.5 g/dl; P < 0.001). The proportion of patients with change in hemoglobin level ≥2.0 g/dl was higher for EPO than those for placebo (P < 0.001). After 4 weeks of administration, the proportion of RBC transfusion or hemoglobin level
