A Study of Darbepoetin Alfa in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00230321
Purpose
The primary objectives of the trial are to assess erythroid response to darbepoetin alfa, as
determined by changes in hemoglobin and/or red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependence and to
describe the safety profile of darbepoetin alfa in patients with MDS. The secondary objective
is to assess bone marrow progenitor BFU-E growth before and after treatment with darbepoetin
alfa.
