Registry summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and tolerability of BGE-117 and gain information on the effectiveness of different doses when given to patients 65 years or older with moderate to severe anemia following major hip surgery. BGE-117 is given once daily in a capsule by mouth for up to 12 weeks. Patients are also given oral iron supplements. Anemia following surgery has been associated with decreases in patient functioning. This study will measure improvement of anemia, as well as various patient functioning.
