What was measured

To compare the effects of the 3 different epoetin alfa dosing schedules and a darbepoetin alfa schedule. FACT-AN consist of Fatigue concerns subscale and non-fatigue concerns subscale. FACT Total Anemia score was calculated by adding the two subscales scores and transformed into 0-100 scale. FACT Total Anemia, Fatigue concerns scale and Non-Fatigue concerns scale are all ranges: 0 (Worst QOL) to 100 (Best QOL). Average scores across all time points for each subscale and total scale were calculated.

Analysis population: All patients that were evaluable per protocol with QOL 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)
