IMPACT NHL was a multicenter, observational study in adults with non-Hodgkin lymphoma receiving CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) chemotherapy with or without rituximab. Erythropoietin-stimulating agent treatment was given according to routine clinical practice and physician preference. In a subanalysis, outcomes were evaluated in 207 patients who received darbepoetin alfa (DA). The most common reason (81%) for initiating DA was low/declining hemoglobin (Hb) concentration. Mean (+/- standard deviation) duration of DA exposure was 8.8 +/- 6.9 weeks (mean number of doses, 5.1 +/- 4.6). Overall, 23% of patients had chemotherapy and DA treatment synchronized more than 75% of the time. At the time of DA initiation, 67% of patients had Hb concentrations in the guideline-recommended range (9-11 g/dl). Of 89 patients with Hb concentrations %26lt;10 g/dl at DA initiation and still receiving DA 5 weeks later, 92% (Kaplan-Meier) achieved Hb concentrations 10-12 g/dl between week 5 and at the end of treatment.
