Further study details as provided by Hoffmann-La Roche:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluate in daily routine practice the clinical benefit (i.e. transfusion avoidance, maintenance of general health status, professional and social activity) of NeoRecormon in anemic cancer patients, according to early response to treatment [ Time Frame: 28 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess baseline characteristics of patients [ Time Frame: 28 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess the pattern of use of NeoRecormon in real-life practice and adherence to current guidelines [ Time Frame: 28 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess hemoglobin level evolution [ Time Frame: 28 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess the iron and vitamin status of patients [ Time Frame: 28 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess adverse events: pure red cell aplasia and thromboembolic events [ Time Frame: 28 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
