A Phase 3b Study of Erythropoietin Drugs Using a Specified Dosing Algorithm in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Interventions
Other: Standard of Care Arm
Biological: Epoetin Hospira Arm
Registration Number
NCT02504294
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

A phase 3b study for subjects receiving Epogen to compare a dosing algorithm between Hospira Epoetin and Standard of Care Epogen.

Detailed Description

Primary Objective: To evaluate switching from Epogen to Epoetin Hospira for maintenance of hemoglobin levels in anemic chronic kidney disease (CKD) subjects on hemodialysis using a specified algorithm for the dosing of erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESA).

Secondary Objective: To evaluate switching from Epogen to Epoetin Hospira on the dosing of ESA in anemic CKD subjects on hemodialysis using a specified algorithm for the dosing of ESA.

Exploratory Objectives: To generate hypotheses regarding maintenance of hemoglobin levels, dosing of ESA, intravenous (IV) iron dosing requirements, transferrin saturation (TSAT) levels and ferritin levels associated with the switch from Epogen to Epoetin Hospira in anemic CKD subjects on hemodialysis using specified algorithms for the dosing of ESA and for the dosing of IV iron, that are standard of care.
