Epoetin theta is a made-to-order version of erythropoietin, the hormone that tells the marrow to make red blood cells. It is used to treat the anaemia of chemotherapy in people with non-myeloid cancers, sparing some transfusions.
Epoetin theta is authorised in the EU under two names: Biopoin (authorised 23 October 2009; marketing authorisation holder Teva GmbH) and Eporatio (authorised 29 October 2009; marketing authorisation holder Ratiopharm GmbH, a Teva company per Wikidata Q265318). Both are indicated for symptomatic anaemia associated with chronic renal failure in adults and for symptomatic anaemia in adult cancer patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving chemotherapy. The corpus's other erythropoiesis-stimulating agents are epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa.
Recombinant human erythropoietin that acts on the erythropoietin receptor to stimulate red-cell production; used for symptomatic anaemia in adults with non-myeloid cancers receiving chemotherapy and in chronic renal failure (indication wording, EMA). Connects to Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR).
