Study summary

The purpose of this study is to estimate the incidence of Pure Red Cell Aplasia (PRCA), neutralising antibodies, lack of efficacy, and thromboembolic events under treatment with Retacrit™ (epoetin zeta) administered subcutaneously in patients with renal anaemia. The other key objective of this study is to obtain information on adverse drug reactions (ADR) associated with Retacrit™ (epoetin zeta), use of epoetin zeta during pregnancy and lactation and data on long term use.
