Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of epoetin alfa PROCRITÂ administered subcutaneously sc once every week qw vs no epoetin alfa PROCRITÂ treatment in patients with cancer who are anemic
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to evaluate hematologic response in patients receiving epoetin alfa PROCRIT therapy for persistent chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression anemia after completion of chemotherapy administration as compared to patients who do not receive weekly epoetin alfa PROCRIT immediately after cessation of chemotherapy Further the duration of treatment necessary to achieve these endpoints will be studied A NoDelayed epoetin alfa PROCRIT treatment control whereby patients in the control group will receive epoetin alfa PROCRIT if their Hb decreases to 10gdL during the study will be used to establish the frequency and magnitude of changes in clinical end points that may occur when epoetin alfa PROCRIT treatment is not continued or started for patients with residual myelosuppression after chemotherapy administration has ended A 21 randomization will be used to give every patient a greater chance to receive immediate treatment 666 epoetin alfa PROCRIT treatment vs 333 NoDelayed epoetin alfa PROCRIT treatment The study will be powered to show differences between the two groups in hematologic response

In this study the hematologic response is defined as the proportion of patients who are transfusion-free and are able to maintain their mean Hb level at 11 gdL during the study without a Hb drop to 10 gdL andor transfusion

The study hypothesis was that immediate epoetin alfa PROCRIT treatment would be more effective in treatment of anemia than NoDelayed epoetin alfa PROCRIT treatment in patients with cancer and persistent chemotherapy-induced anemia Patients will be randomized 21 to receive epoetin alf or no epoetin treatment The starting dose will be 40000 Units weekly QW or the dose they were on prior to the study 30000-60000 Units QW If the Hb level decreases to 10 gdL PROCRIT will be initiated at a dose of 40000 Units QW
