Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

To Compare the Efficacy of HX575 Hexal AG and ERYPO® Janssen-Cilag.
28 weeks

Primary endpoint was the mean absolute change in Hb level between the screening/baseline and the evaluation period. A two-sided 95 % confidence interval for the difference in mean change (mean of evaluation period - mean of screening/baseline period) in Hb between epoetin alfa HX575 Hexal AG and ERYPO® Janssen-Cilag was computed. The difference was estimated from an analysis of a co-variance model including factors treatment, center, mean baseline Hb (\<11.5 and ≥11.5 g/dL) as factors and change of the mean weekly dose from screening/baseline to the evaluation period (of HX575 epoetin alfa Hexal AG or ERYPO® Janssen-Cilag) as a covariate. HX575 Hexal AG was considered at least as good as ERYPO® Janssen-Cilag if the 95 % confidence interval of the difference in mean changes in Hb levels between HX575 Hexal AG and ERYPO® Janssen-Cilag lied entirely within the interval \[-0.5 g/dL; 0.5 g/dL\]. Primary Endpoint was analyzed based on intent-to-treat (ITT) population.

HX575 epoetin alfa Hexal AGEXPERIMENTALEligible patients were switched from the comparator ERYPO®, to epoetin alfa HX575 Hexal AG in ratio 2:1 to be intravenously treated with HX575 in pre-filled syringes for 24 weeks (solution for injection i.v.). The maximum weekly dose was 300 UI/kg body weight (given 1 to 3 times) to maintain hemoglobin levels between 10-13 g/dL.
