Subcutaneous (SC) Darbepoetin Alfa in Subjects With Symptomatic Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) & Anemia

February 7, 2017 updated by: Amgen

A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Effects of Treatment With 2 Regimens of Subcutaneous Darbepoetin Alfa (Weight-based Dosing and Fixed Dosing) on Hemoglobin Concentration Response in Subjects With Symptomatic CHF and Anaemia

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether weight-based or fixed starting doses result in comparable hemoglobin increases and treatment effects in patients with heart failure and anemia.
