What is Cresp (Darbepoetin Alfa)?

Cresp contains darbepoetin alfa, supplied as a solution for injection in single-dose prefilled syringes in 25, 40, 60, 100 and 200 mcg strengths. No US label exists for the Cresp brand; the reference prescribing information used below is that of the originator darbepoetin alfa product (Aranesp). Indications and use in India are those printed in the Indian pack insert.

How it works, according to the label: The Aranesp prescribing information (DailyMed) describes darbepoetin alfa as an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA).


Indications as Listed in the Reference Label

The current US prescribing information for Aranesp (DailyMed) lists the following. Indications in India may differ and are defined by the Indian regulator and the Cresp pack insert.

  • The reference label lists anaemia due to chronic kidney disease, in patients on dialysis and not on dialysis
  • The reference label lists anaemia due to chemotherapy in patients with non-myeloid malignancies, where anaemia is due to the effect of concomitant myelosuppressive chemotherapy
  • The reference label states that ESAs are not indicated for patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy when the anticipated outcome is cure

Clinical Studies and Evidence

Published studies of darbepoetin alfa include the TREAT trial (N Engl J Med 2009) in patients with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease and anaemia, and registration studies of darbepoetin alfa in anaemia of chronic kidney disease and chemotherapy-induced anaemia. Results and conclusions are those of the trial authors and the prescribing information; A.K. Pharma does not interpret them.
