Darbepoetin alfa given every 1 or 2 weeks alleviates anaemia associated with cancer chemotherapy. [PDF]
In part A of this study, patients were randomised to cohorts receiving darbepoetin alfa at doses of 0.5 to 8.0 m.c.g x kg(-1) x wk(-1) or to a control group receiving epoetin alfa at an initial dose of 150 U x kg(-1) three times weekly.
