Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Mean Weekly Hemoglobin Level From Week 21 to Week 24
Week 21 up to Week 24
Mean Weekly Dosage of Study Medication From Week 21 to Week 24
Week 21 up to Week 24
Baseline-adjusted area under the serum epoetin concentration curve from the time of dose administration to 48 hours (AUC0-48)
On Day 1 and 2 of Pre-Treatment and Treatment Periods 1 and 2 predose (0 hour). On Day 3 of Pre-Treatment Period and Treatment Periods 1 and 2 (i.e., 3rd epoetin dose of the week) at predose (0 hour) and postdose (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours)
Maximum serum epoetin concentration (Cmax)
On Day 1 and 2 of Pre-Treatment and Treatment Periods 1 and 2 predose (0 hour). On Day 3 of Pre-Treatment Period and Treatment Periods 1 and 2 (i.e., 3rd epoetin dose of the week) at predose (0 hour) and postdose (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours)
AUC from time of dose administration to the time of the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t)
On Day 1 and 2 of Pre-Treatment and Treatment Periods 1 and 2 predose (0 hour). On Day 3 of Pre-Treatment Period and Treatment Periods 1 and 2 (i.e., 3rd epoetin dose of the week) at predose (0 hour) and postdose (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours)

If AUC0-48 cannot be calculated then AUC from time of dose administration to the time of the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t) will be used as the primary measure.

Frequently asked questions about Epogen

What is Epogen used for in chronic kidney disease?

Epogen is used for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure and chronic kidney disease in patients requiring hemodialysis. It is administered intravenously to patients receiving epoetin maintenance treatment. Epogen is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for these indications.

Who makes Epogen?

Epogen is developed by Pfizer, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PFE. The drug is being studied for use in patients with chronic renal failure and chronic kidney disease who require hemodialysis.

What phase is Epogen in?

Epogen is in Phase 3 clinical development. A Phase 3 study, NCT01473407, has been completed with 612 participants. This study compared intravenous Epogen to epoetin alfa in patients with chronic kidney disease and chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis.

What clinical trials is Epogen in?

Epogen has been studied in two completed clinical trials. NCT01473407 was a Phase 3 study with 612 participants comparing Epogen to epoetin alfa in patients with chronic kidney disease and chronic renal failure. NCT01170078 was a Phase 1 study with 107 participants in chronic renal failure patients.

Is Epogen the same as epoetin alfa?

Epogen is a form of epoetin alfa. Clinical trials have compared Epogen to epoetin alfa from Amgen to evaluate their effects when administered intravenously in patients with chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis and receiving epoetin maintenance treatment.
