Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of treatment of anemia with darbepoetin alfa compared to placebo on the composite of time to death from any cause or first hospital admission for worsening heart failure in patients with symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction and anemia.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Darbepoetin alfa
  • Drug: Placebo
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between HF and anemia and correlation of increased risk for mortality and hospitalization with low hemoglobin in patients with HF. Earlier single-center interventional studies suggest that meaningful clinical benefits may be achieved by raising hemoglobin concentration in patients with symptomatic HF and anemia. Data from Amgen's completed phase 2 multi-center studies support this hypothesis and show that darbepoetin alfa is well tolerated in patients with symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction and anemia and effectively raises hemoglobin. The pivotal phase 3 Study 20050222 RED-HF Trial is evaluating the effect of treatment with darbepoetin alfa on the composite risk of all-cause mortality or hospitalization for worsening HF in patients with symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction and anemia. This study also evaluates the effect of darbepoetin alfa treatment on all-cause death, on cardiovascular death or hospitalization for worsening HF, and on patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Darbepoetin alfa

Starting dose of 0.75 µg/kg subcutaneously every 2 weeks until hemoglobin concentrations reach 13.0 g/dL on 2 consecutive visits, then monthly dosing, titrated to achieve hemoglobin target of 13.0 g/dL, not to exceed 14.5 g/dL.

Drug: Darbepoetin alfa
Administered by subcutaneous injection
Other Names:
  • Aranesp®
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo

    Participants received dose and administration schedule (every 2 weeks or once a month) changes that simulated the changes for participants receiving darbepoetin alfa.

    Drug: Placebo
    Placebo subcutaneous injection

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to All Cause Death or First Hospitalization for Worsening Heart Failure [From randomization to the end of study; maximum time on study was 73 months]

      Time to death from any cause or first hospital admission for worsening heart failure (adjudicated by the Clinical Endpoint Committee), whichever occurred first, estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Participants not experiencing a qualifying event during the study were censored at their last contact time or the study termination date, whichever occurred first.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Death From Any Cause [From randomization to the end of study; maximum time on study was 73 months]

      Time from randomization to death due to any cause, estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Participants not experiencing a qualifying event during the study were censored at their last contact time or the study termination date, whichever occurred first.

    2. Time to Cardiovascular Death or First Hospital Admission for Worsening Heart Failure [From randomization to the end of study; maximum time on study was 73 months]

      Time to cardiovascular death or first hospital admission for worsening heart failure, whichever occured first, estimated using the Kaplan Meier method. Participants not experiencing a qualifying event during the study were censored at their last contact time or the study termination date, whichever occurred first.

    3. Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Overall Summary Score [Baseline and Month 6]

      The KCCQ is a disease-specific patient-reported outcomes measure for patients with heart failure. It consists of 23 items, is comprised of 7 clinically relevant scales (Symptom Frequency, Symptom Burden, Symptom Stability, Physical Limitation, Social Limitation, Quality of Life, and Self-Efficacy), and yields 3 summary scores (Clinical Summary, Total Symptom, and Overall Summary Scores). Scale and summary scores range between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating better health status (eg, better functioning, fewer symptoms, better quality of life). Least squares means were calculated from a mixed effects model estimating treatment effect adjusted for region, type of device, and Baseline KCCQ score.

    4. Change From Baseline to Month 6 in KCCQ Symptom Frequency Score [Baseline and Month 6]

      The KCCQ is a disease-specific patient-reported outcomes measure for patients with heart failure. It consists of 23 items, is comprised of 7 clinically relevant scales (Symptom Frequency, Symptom Burden, Symptom Stability, Physical Limitation, Social Limitation, Quality of Life, and Self-Efficacy), and yields 3 summary scores (Clinical Summary, Total Symptom, and Overall Summary Scores). Scale and summary scores range between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating better health status (eg, better functioning, fewer symptoms, better quality of life). Least squares means were calculated from a mixed effects model estimating treatment effect adjusted for region, type of device, and Baseline KCCQ score.

    4. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Overall Summary Score
    Description The KCCQ is a disease-specific patient-reported outcomes measure for patients with heart failure. It consists of 23 items, is comprised of 7 clinically relevant scales (Symptom Frequency, Symptom Burden, Symptom Stability, Physical Limitation, Social Limitation, Quality of Life, and Self-Efficacy), and yields 3 summary scores (Clinical Summary, Total Symptom, and Overall Summary Scores). Scale and summary scores range between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating better health status (eg, better functioning, fewer symptoms, better quality of life). Least squares means were calculated from a mixed effects model estimating treatment effect adjusted for region, type of device, and Baseline KCCQ score.

    Certain Agreements

    Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.

    The Clinical Trial Agreement generally does not restrict an investigator's discussion of trial results aftercompletion. The Agreement permits Amgen a limited period of time to review material discussing trial results (typically up to 45 days and possible extension). Amgen may remove confidential information, but authors have final control and approval of publication content. For multicenter studies, the investigator agrees not to publish any results before the first multi-center publication.
