NCT01693029

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to show biosimilarity of HX575 epoetin alfa with the US licensed reference product Epogen®/Procrit® when applied subcutaneously. This study is intended to generate data supporting that the efficacy and safety under treatment with HX575 and Epogen®/Procrit® are comparable.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Mean Absolute Change in Hemoglobin Levels Between the Screening/Baseline Period (Week -4 to Day 1) and the Evaluation Period (Week 21-28)

    Response to epoetin alfa in anemic patients with chronic renal failure is manifested by increased hematocrit, hemoglobin, reduced transfusion requirements and increase in quality of life. Hemoglobin (laboratory haematology parameter) is the primary endpoint of the study .

    Week -4 to Day1 and Week 21-28

  • Change in Mean Hb Level Between Baseline (Week -4 to Day1) and Evaluation Period (Week 21-28)

    Response to epoetin alfa in anemic patients with chronic renal failure is manifested by increased hematocrit, hemoglobin, reduced transfusion requirements and increase in quality of life. Hemoglobin (laboratory haematology parameter) is the primary endpoint of the study .

    Week -4 to Day1 and Week 21-28

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Mean Weekly Dose During Evaluation Period (Week 21-28)

    Week 21-28

  • Incidence of Antibody Formation Against Epoetin

    52 weeks

Study Arms (2)

HX575 epoetin alfa

EXPERIMENTAL

HX575, recombinant human epoetin alfa

Drug: HX575 epoetin alfa

US-licensed epoetin alfa

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
