Darbepoetin Alfa in Patients With "Poor Prognosis" Germ Cell Tumor Treated With High-Dose Chemotherapy (HD-VIP)
February 13, 2009 updated by: University Hospital Tuebingen
Randomized Phase II-Trial to Determine the Impact of Darbepoetin Alfa on the Frequency of RBC Transfusions in Patients With Metastatic "Poor Prognosis" Germ Cell Tumor Treated With High-Dose Chemotherapy (HD-VIP Regimen)
The aim is to determine the frequency of RBC transfusion in patients with metastatic "poor prognosis" germ cell tumor during high-dose chemotherapy (HD-VIP, level 6) with or without Darbepoetin alfa
