Evaluation of clinical use and effectiveness of darbepoetin alfa in cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia

Abstract: With the limitation of a retrospective design, our results suggest that darbepoetin alfa is a well tolerated treatment that increases hemoglobin levels and reduces the need for transfusion in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in clinical practice.

“…Taking into account evidence from post-marketing data, several observational studies proved the effectiveness of epoetin zeta [ 15 ], darbepoetin alfa [ 16 ], or biosimilar epoetin alfa [ 17 ] using real world data but without any comparator. Only one European multicenter retrospective study showed no difference about real-life clinical effectiveness and safety of biosimilar epoetin alfa vs. darbepoetin alfa for 4–5 weeks considering 429 patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia [ 18 ].…”

“…El uso de fármacos quimioterápicos conlleva, sin embargo, una serie de efectos secundarios, ya que no solo ejercen su efecto sobre las células tumorales, sino también sobre tejidos sanos [5]. La gran mayoría de los agentes quimioterápicos afecta negativamente al sistema hematopoyético, siendo la anemia inducida por quimioterapia (AIQ) la complicación más frecuente en pacientes con cáncer, puesto que afecta hasta al 68% de ellos en Europa [5,[7][8][9]. La anemia se asocia a una mayor astenia de los pacientes, lo que causa un importante impacto negativo en la vida diaria de estos.…”

“…La anemia se asocia a una mayor astenia de los pacientes, lo que causa un importante impacto negativo en la vida diaria de estos. Además, la anemia no diagnosticada o no tratada comporta una reducción de la calidad de vida [8,10]. Datos de ensayos clínicos han mostrado que niveles bajos de hemoglobina (Hb) (se diagnostica anemia cuando los niveles están por debajo de 10 g/dL) dan lugar a una mayor astenia y una reducción de la productividad, y que la calidad de vida de los pacientes con cáncer se correlaciona directamente con la gravedad de la anemia que padecen [9].…”

“…46,47 Observational studies have shown that these guidelines are generally adhered to, and that this has resulted in a well-tolerated and effective treatment of CIA. [57][58][59][60] A retrospective data analysis 61 of a large phase III trial of 706 patients with CIA aimed to assess the impact of starting ESA treatment at baseline Hb levels of ,10 g/dL or $10 g/dL. The authors reported that patients who began ESA treatment with an Hb level $10 g/dL required fewer RBC transfusions and achieved a mean Hb level of 11 g/dL more quickly during the study compared to those starting treatment at Hb ,10 g/ dL.…”
