Popis: Background: OncoBOS is a national, prospective, non-interventional, longitudinal, observational study describing biosimilar epoetin alfa (Binocrit®) use in routine practice in France in patients receiving chemotherapy treatment (CT) for solid tumors, lymphoma or myeloma. This sub-analysis focuses on the management of CIA in patients with MM. Patients and methods: Patients ≥18 years with MM, CIA and eligible for treatment with Binocrit® were included in this analysis. Patients characteristics, data on CIA and its management and predominant factors considered by the physician in prescribing Binocrit® were recorded at baseline, 3-4 weeks and 12 (± 1) weeks later. Hemoglobin (Hb) outcomes assessed included the proportion of patients achieving a Hb increase ≥1 and ≥2 g/dL, and the mean Hb change from baseline. Results: 99 patients with MM (mean age 71.1 years) from 20 sites were recruited from September 2011 to April 2014. 54.5% of subjects were male. Mean and median baseline Hb levels were 9.4 g/dL and 10 g/dL, respectively. The mean increase in Hb level was 1.1 g/dL after 1 month and 2.2 g/dL after 3 months (p Conclusion: This sub-analysis indicates that Binocrit®, used in routine practice, is effective and well tolerated for the treatment of CIA in patients with MM receiving CT.
