E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Anemia in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. |
|
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the AF37702 dose administered every 3 weeks by subcutaneous injection that is associated with a hemoglobin increase of ≥1 g/dL in ≥50% of anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at 9 weeks after Dose 1. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of up to four doses of AF37702 administered subcutaneously every 3 weeks in cancer patients receiving concomitant myelosuppressive chemotherapy. To determine the change from baseline in Hgb in anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at different dose levels of AF37702. To determine the proportion of patients who have a Hgb response to AF37702. To determine the dose of AF37702 administered subcutaneously that increases and maintains hemoglobin in the target range of 11-13 g/dL in anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of up to 4 doses of AF37702 administered subcutaneously in anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (in a subset of study patients). To explore the effect of dose frequency at an active dose of AF37702 (optional) To explore the effect of parenteral iron replacement at an active dose of AF37702 (optional).
