Comparing Efficacy and Safety of CinnaGen Beta Erythropoietin (CinnaPoietin®) Versus Eprex® on the Treatment of Anemia in ESRD Hemodialysis Patients

This Phase III, randomized, two-armed, parallel, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial is designed to compare efficacy and safety of CinnaPoietin® (Beta erythropoietin) and Eprex® (epoetin alpha) on the treatment of anemia in 156 End-Stage Renal Disease hemodialysis patients. 156 patients have been planned to randomize and assign to receive CinnaPoietin® or Eprex® for a 26-week period. Administration dose for patients who are treated with erythropoietin is the similar dose of the previously administered amount (IV or SC without any change). After then, dose adjustment will be made based on patients\' response. The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of CinnaPoietin® with Eprex®. The secondary objectives of this study are further comparison and evaluation of efficacy along with safety between CinnaPoietin® and Eprex®.
