NCT ID:
NCT01444456
Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter, international, prospective, observational study of patients who are receiving systemic chemotherapy for solid tumour cancers (breast, colorectal, ovarian, prostate, lung, bladder, endometrial, renal, pancreatic, esophageal or gastric) and who are receiving darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp®) or other erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) to treat symptomatic anaemia.
Quality of Life will be assessed electronically with the aim of estimating improvement in quality of life for those patients receiving darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp®) who also have an increase in haemoglobin (Hb) of ≥1 g/dL
Detailed Description:
Before enrolling participants, each country was assigned to either cohort 1 (patients receiving only darbepoetin alfa) or cohort 2 (patients receiving any ESA). Cohort 2 was assigned only to those countries in which local regulations did not permit observational study participation by patients receiving a specific agent in a drug class.
