ESAs are biologically engineered hormones produced by recombinant DNA technology. Erythropoietin analogs contain the identical amino acid sequence as naturally occurring erythropoietin, and have the same biological effect. Primarily, the kidneys produce erythropoietin in response to hypoxia. Both erythropoietin and ESAs stimulate the bone marrow to form new red blood cells. They are used to treat anemia by elevating or maintaining the red blood cell level (as demonstrated by the hematocrit and/or hemoglobin levels), therefore decreasing anemia and the need for transfusions. Darbepoetin alfa (brand name Aranesp ), an erythropoietin analog, differs from recombinant human erythropoietin alfa (brand name Epogen or Procrit ) in having two additional N-glycosylation sites, which slows its clearance and makes its half-life twothree times longer, allowing less frequent injections. This policy will apply to new ESAs as they are approved. Since darbepoetin alfa and epoetin alfa have a similar mode of action and their structures differ only by the number of N-linked oligosaccharides on the protein, this policy does not distinguish differences for on or off-label indications and contraindications, except for pre treatment of selective surgery where blood loss is anticipated. Several off-label uses are well-accepted clinically, as indicated by inclusion in various compendia. However, a contraindication for either ESA is binding on both. In March 2007, the FDA issued new warnings against target Hgb levels above 12 gm/dl (36% Hct) for all patients. The FDA also issued specific warnings against off-label use in cancer patients whose anemia is not directly linked to chemotherapy. The FDA also reminded physicians that the main endpoint in studies for on-label indications has been avoidance or reduction in transfusions. The LCD contains descriptions of specific coverage guidelines and documentation that supports medical necessity for individual patients. CMS has a national coverage decision on both renal and non-renal uses of ESAs. This local decision elaborates on the NCD and covers some additional indications. Erythropoietin analogs are covered for the following indications: 1. Treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure, including patients on dialysis and patients not on dialysis; 2. Treatment of significant anemia in patients with non-myeloid malignancies where anemia is due to the effect of concomitantly administered chemotherapy; 3. Treatment of anemia induced by AZT and/or other Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI) used in treatment of HIV/AIDS; 4. Treatment of selected patients with anemia related to myelodysplastic syndrome; 5. Preoperative adjuvant therapy (epoetin alfa only);

3 The following causes of anemia should be considered, documented, and corrected (when possible) before starting erythropoietin analog therapy for any of the covered indications: Iron deficiency Underlying infection or inflammatory process Underlying hematological disease Hemolysis Vitamin deficiencies (e.g. folic acid or B12) Blood loss Aluminum intoxication The ESA treatment is not reasonable and necessary for beneficiaries with certain clinical conditions, either because of a deleterious effect of the ESA on their underlying disease or because the underlying disease increases their risk of adverse effects related to ESA use. These conditions include: any anemia in cancer or cancer treatment patients due to folate deficiency, B-12 deficiency, iron deficiency, hemolysis, bleeding, or bone marrow fibrosis; the anemia associated with the treatment of acute and chronic myelogenous leukemias (CML, AML), or erythroid cancers; the anemia of cancer not related to cancer treatment; any anemia associated only with radiotherapy; prophylactic use to prevent chemotherapy-induced anemia; prophylactic use to reduce tumor hypoxia; patients with erythropoietin-type resistance due to neutralizing antibodies; and anemia due to cancer treatment if patients have uncontrolled hypertension. There are rare patients whose cardiac, pulmonary or other medical diseases warrant the use of ESAs to maintain a hemoglobin/hematocrit (Hgb/Hct) higher than the target level discussed in this LCD. Documentation to support this practice must be available upon request. This does not apply to ESA therapy for anemia related to cancer chemotherapy, which follows the rules mandated by the National Coverage Decision. During therapy with an erythropoietin analog, many patients will eventually require supplemental iron. For these patients, stores of iron should be regularly monitored to ensure transferrin saturation greater than 20% and/or serum ferritin levels greater than 100 ng/ml, in order to guide appropriate supplementation. For patients receiving chemotherapy for non-myeloid malignancies, the goal of therapy is to maintain the Hgb/Hct at 10/30%. ESA therapy will not be reimbursed when the Hgb/Hct is greater than 10/30%. For all other indications, the goal of therapy is to maintain a stable Hgb/Hct, with a target of gm/dl / 30%-36%. Doses must be titrated according to the patient s response. Erythropoietin analog therapy need not be stopped completely simply due to the achievement of the target Hgb/Hct. However, judicious, appropriately timed dose adjustments are expected to prevent inappropriate increases in Hgb/Hct levels. ESAs may be administered by intravenous or subcutaneous routes. The dosage may be dependent on several factors including the availability of iron stores, the baseline Hgb/Hct, and the presence of concurrent medical problems. Although subcutaneous medications are generally considered to be self-administered and therefore not covered, erythropoietin analogs are covered regardless of route of administration when used within the ESRD benefit or for chronic kidney disease patients not yet on dialysis who meet the conditions below. Coverage Criteria: A. For End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis: 1. Diagnosis of end stage renal disease; 2. Anemia of ESRD should be treated to maintain a Hgb level of gm/dl or a Hct of 30%-36%. B. For chronic kidney disease patients NOT on dialysis: 1. Anemia of chronic kidney disease should be treated to maintain the Hgb level of gm/dl or a Hct of 30%-36%. 2. Serum creatinine equal to or greater than 2.5, creatinine clearance less than 60 ml/min, or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. C. For patients with non-myeloid malignancies where anemia is due to the effect of chemotherapy: 1. Anemia with Hgb/Hct less than 10 / 30% at initiation of therapy. 2. The starting dose for ESA treatment is the recommended FDA label starting dose, no more than 150 U/kg/three times weekly for epoetin and 2.25 mcg/kg/1 time weekly for darbepoetin alpha. Equivalent doses may be given over other approved time periods. 3. Maintenance of ESA therapy is the starting dose if the Hgb level remains below 10 gm/dl (or Hct is < 30%) 4 weeks after initiation of therapy and the rise in Hgb is 1gm/dl (Hct 3%). 4.For patients whose Hgb rises <1 gm/dl (Hct rise <3%) compared to pretreatment baseline over 4 weeks of treatment and whose Hgb level remains <10 gm/dl after the 4 weeks of treatment (or the Hct is <30%), the recommended FDA label starting dose may be increased once by 25%. Continued

4 use of the drug is not reasonable and necessary if the Hgb rises <1 gm/dl (Hct rise <3 %) compared to pretreatment baseline by 8 weeks of treatment. 5. Continued administration of the drug is not reasonable and necessary if there is a rapid rise in Hgb > 1 gm/dl (Hct >3%) over 2 weeks of treatment unless the Hgb remains below or subsequently falls to <10 gm/dl(or the Hct is <30%). Continuation and reinstitution of ESA therapy must include a dose reduction of 25% from the previously administered dose. 6. The FDA labeling states that ESAs are indicated for treatment of anemia of malignancy when receiving concomitant chemotherapy, which means during an established course of planned chemotherapy. It will also cover ESAs for eight weeks following the final dose of myelosuppressive chemotherapy in a chemotherapy regimen. D. For patients with anemia related to AZT and/or other Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI) therapy for HIV/AIDS: 1. The goal of therapy is to maintain a stable Hgb/Hct, with a Hgb target of gm/dl or a Hct of 30%-36% E. For patients with myelodysplastic syndrome: 1. Low risk myelodysplasia 2. Pretreatment *erythropoietin levels of 500 or less 3. The goal of therapy is to avoid transfusions by maintaining a stable Hgb/Hct, with a target of gm/dl / 30%-36%. If after two months of treatment, there is no significant increase in Hgb/Hct and/or a significant decrease in transfusion requirements, erythropoietin analogs therapy should be stopped. *For ESA therapy initiated on or after 12/1/2007, this A/B MAC requires an EPO level less than or equal to 500 IU/L. F. Preoperative adjuvant therapy: epoetin alfa for patients who: 1. Are undergoing hip or knee surgery; 2. Have an anemia with a Hgb between 10 and 13 gm/dl; 3. Are not a candidate for autologous blood transfusion; 4. Are expected to lose more than two units of blood; and 5. Have been evaluated to ensure that their anemia is due to chronic disease. NOTE: This ESA LCD is for Epoetin and Darbepoetin Alfa only. Other products that may be used for anemia of ESRD will be covered for their FDA approved indications.
