What was measured

To compare the effects of the 3 different epoetin alfa dosing schedules and a darbepoetin alfa schedule

Analysis population: All patients that were evaluable per protocol and had RBC transfusions data.

Groups in this outcome

Epoetin Alfa - 40k Weekly

Patients receive Epoetin alfa 40,000 units subcutaneously every week for 15 weeks (15 doses)

Epoetin Alfa - 80k Every 3 Weeks

Patients receive Epoetin alfa 80,000 units subcutaneously every 3 weeks for 15 weeks (5 doses)

Epoetin Alfa - 120k Every 3 Weeks

Patients receive Epoetin alfa 120,000 units subcutaneously every 3 weeks for 15 weeks (5 doses)

Darbepoetin Alfa - 500 mcg Every 3 Weeks

Patients receive Darbepoetin alfa 500 micrograms (mcg) subcutaneously every 3 weeks for 15 weeks (5 doses)

Group identifiers and denominators belong to this outcome only. They may differ in another outcome or in safety reporting.
