Study Summary

RATIONALE: Darbepoetin alfa may cause the body to make more red blood cells. Red blood cells contain iron that is needed to carry oxygen to the tissues. It is not yet known whether giving darbepoetin alfa (DA) together with intravenous iron or oral iron is more effective than giving darbepoetin alfa together with a placebo in treating anemia caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving darbepoetin alfa together with iron to see how well it works compared with giving darbepoetin alfa together with a placebo in treating anemia caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer.

Primary Outcome

Hematopoietic response was defined as Hemoglobin (Hb) increment of 2.0 g/dL from baseline or achievement of Hb \>= 11 g/dL (whichever occurs first) in the absence of red blood cell transfusions during the preceding 28 days during the treatment period.
