Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary endpoint was to evaluate hematopoietic response, defined as >= 2 g/dL Hb increase from baseline and/or Hb >= 12 g/dL over the course of the study and independent of transfusion within 28 days.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Secondary endpoints included the effects of PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa) on transfusion requirements, on Quality of Life as measured by the Linear Analog Scale Assessment (LASA) and FACT-An tools as well as time to hemoglobin response.

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of non-myeloid malignancy
  • Baseline hemoglobin value of \<= 11 g/dL unrelated to transfusion
  • Patients must not be receiving or planning to receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy within the 16-week study period. However, patients receiving hormonal therapy or non-myelosuppressive therapies are allowable
  • Female patients with reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients must not have uncontrolled hypertension or a history (within 6 months) of uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, pulmonary emboli, deep vein thrombosis, ischemic stroke, other arterial or venous thrombotic events (excluding superficial thromboses), or known history of chronic coagulation disorder
