Spanish Registry of Erythropoietic Stimulating Agents Study
- Conditions
- Myelodysplastic Syndrome
- Registration Number
- NCT01739452
- Lead Sponsor
- Grupo Español de Síndromes Mielodisplásicos
- Brief Summary
Reviewing Spanish record of myelodysplastic syndromes (RESMD) data base in the group of patients with MDS. The information will be collected retrospectively from diagnosis of MDS, until the date of December 31, 2011.
- Detailed Description
Review of RESMD data base in the group of patients with MDS from diagnosis of low risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and occurrence of anemia that began treatment with erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESAs) / support transfusional before December 31, 2011. In all cases, data obtained will be prior to the date of the start of the study to ensure its retrospective nature, thus reflecting the routine use of erythropoietic agents in clinical and non-interference in the doctor's clinical practice.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Collect and evaluate the Spanish experience of anemia treatment. 6 months Collect and evaluate retrospectively the Spanish experience of anemia treatment in patients diagnosed with low-risk MDS according to IPSS (low or intermediate-1) evaluating the efficacy and safety of treatment with ESAs received for at least 24 weeks and the evolution of a control group of patients who received only transfusional support.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall survival. 6 months Evaluate overall survival in the two groups of patients, support transfusional versus ESA.
Duration of response 6 months In responders at week 24 of treatment, determine the duration of response after 48 weeks of treatment.
Adverse events 6 months Security: To determine the frequency, type, intensity and severity of adverse events and their possible relationship with the various ESA and progression to acute myelogenous leukemia.
