The key facts about the molecule. Long codes are in the closed section below.
Results grouped by what the studies measured. Each card shows where its results come from.
EPOGEN / PROCRIT (epoetin alfa), RETACRIT (epoetin alfa-epbx), since 1989.
Binocrit (epoetin alfa), NeoRecormon (epoetin beta), Retacrit (epoetin zeta), since 1997.
On the 2026 Prohibited List, section S2.1.1.
Yes. Approved in the US and EU (Epogen / Procrit, 1989). The FDA label for Epogen / Procrit says: “Treatment of anaemia due to chronic kidney disease, zidovudine in HIV infection, or myelosuppressive chemotherapy; reduction of allogeneic red blood cell transfusions in elective noncardiac, nonvascular surgery” Banned in sport (WADA S2.1.1).
Laws and labels change, so check the regulator for the current status.
PepBank has no safety result from studies of Erythropoietin (human) yet. That does not mean Erythropoietin (human) is safe.
