NCT00317902

Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to treat anemic (Hemoglobin (Hb) \< 12 g/dL) HIV-infected subjects with once weekly (QW) PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa) to a target Hb of \> 13 g/dL and then to assess if the target Hb level and improvements in Quality of Life (QOL) could be maintained with every other week (Q2W) PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa) dosing.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary objective of this study was to assess if every other week PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa) dosing can maintain quality of life (QOL) in anemic HIV-infected patients between Week 24 (or the last measurement) and the beginning of the maintenance phase

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The effect of every other week PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa) dosing on maintaining target hemoglobin levels (>13 g/dL), transfusion utilization and safety in anemic HIV-infected patients measured from the beginning of the maintenance phase to Week 24.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:
