| 1 | Epoetin alfa maintains ribavirin dose in HCV-infected patients: a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled study. | Ribavirin | erythropoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | This study assessed whether epoetin alfa could maintain RBV dose, improve quality of life (QOL), and increase hemoglobin (Hb) in anemic HCV-infected patients. | Ribavirin | erythropoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | RESULTS: At the end of the DBP, RBV doses were maintained in 88% of patients receiving epoetin alfa vs. 60% of patients receiving placebo (P < 0.001). | Ribavirin | erythropoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | CONCLUSIONS: Epoetin alfa maintained RBV dose and improved QOL and Hb in anemic HCV-infected patients receiving combination therapy. | Ribavirin | erythropoietin | Homo sapiens |
