Intervention
Patients are randomised to one of two treatment arms:
1. Arm A: Patients receive 150 IU/Kg of Epoetin alpha
2. Arm B: Patients receive matching placebo
Epoetin alpha or placebo is given subcutaneously three times per week for the first four weeks (or the first on-study chemotherapy cycle, respectively). Haemaglobin level and/or reticulocyte count will then be used to determine whether the same dose (volume) or a doubled dose (volume) will be used for the remainder of the treatment.
