A Safety and Tolerability Study of Peginesatide in Anemic Cancer Patients Receiving Cytotoxic Chemotherapy.
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of peginesatide used to treat anemia in subjects diagnosed with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer and who also receiving a taxane chemotherapy.

A Study Comparing Two Different PROCRIT Doses to a Dose of ARANESP in Anemic Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy
Description

The purpose of this study is to compare hemoglobin response rates between two PROCRIT (epoetin alfa) doses and ARANESP (darbepoetin alfa) in anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy

Neoplasms, Anemia, Cancer

A Web-based Study of Quality of Life Benefits Associated Aranesp in Anemic Patients With Cancer
Description

This is a web-based pilot study to evaluate the association between the treatment of anemia with darbepoetin alfa (aranesp) and the clinical benefits in symptom palliation, improved functional status and quality of life in patients with cancer. The feasibility of web-based assessments and data capture will be evaluated.

Conditions

Anemia, Cancer

Treatment of Anemic Patients With Cancer Who Are Not Receiving Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy
Description

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of epoetin alfa in treating anemia in patients who have cancer or who no longer have any signs of the cancer, but remain anemic as a result of their treatment.

Conditions

Anemia, Cancer

A Study of Epoetin Alfa Plus Standard Supportive Care Versus Standard Supportive Care Only in Anemic Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Receiving Standard Chemotherapy
Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact on tumor progression as evaluated by progression-free survival (PFS) of epoetin alfa plus standard supportive care as compared with standard supportive care alone (packed red blood cell (RBC) transfusions), for treating anemia according to label guidance in patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving standard chemotherapy.

Radiation Therapy With or Without Epoetin Alfa in Treating Anemic Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
Description

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Epoetin alfa may stimulate red blood cell production and treat anemia in patients with head and neck cancer. It is not yet known whether receiving radiation therapy with epoetin alfa is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating anemic patients with head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without epoetin alfa in treating anemic patients who have head and neck cancer.

Intra-patient Dose Escalation Study to Investigate Safety and Feasibility of Vactosertib in Treating Anemic MPN Patients
Description

This study assesses the potential of using a TGFβ receptor inhibitor for the treatment of anemic patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. TGFβ signaling is known to be abnormally high in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms and it is thought that abnormal TGFβ signals cause many of the problems with blood cell formation in these diseases. The study design allows all patients to receive the study drug, vactosertib. The dose of vactosertib is individualized within a pre-set range based upon its effectiveness and tolerability. A total of up to 37 patients will be treated.

Conditions

Myeloproliferative Neoplasm
