148 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This will be a randomized clinical trial. Enrolled subjects will be randomized (1:1) into two study arms to receive either daily (Group 1) or alternate day (Group 2) supplementation with one oral pill containing ferrous sulfate with an equivalent elemental iron dose of 65 mg per pill.
This study aims to assess whether administering intravenous iron early in pregnancy, compared to standard oral iron treatment, can enhance hemoglobin levels before delivery and reduce the need for blood transfusions in patients with iron deficiency anemia. Patients diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia were randomly assigned to receive either oral or intravenous iron. Before treatment initiation, patients completed a symptom questionnaire baseline hemoglobin, and ferritin levels were measured. Follow-up visits occurred four weeks later and at 24 to 28 weeks gestation, involving reassessment of symptoms, laboratory testing, and monitoring of treatment adherence. Final hemoglobin levels were determined before delivery, and data on the need for blood transfusion at delivery were recorded.
This is a trial with an observational and an interventional arm, in patients with moderate to severe anemia and control subjects. The main purposes of this study is to phenotype the scope of neurocognitive deficits from iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adult women, determine derangements in cerebral perfusion, vascular reactivity, functional connectivity, and blood brain barrier permeability in adult-onset IDA and relate them to neurocognitive deficits, as well as determine the reversibility and durability of both the physiologic and neurocognitive derangements by iron replacement therapy. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study.
Double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter randomized trial in pregnant women in the U.S. (N=746) to test the central hypothesis that IV iron in pregnant women with moderate-to-severe IDA (Hb\<10 g/dL and ferritin\<30 ng/mL) at 13 - 30 weeks will be effective, safe and cost-effective in reducing severe maternal morbidity-as measured by peripartum blood transfusion-and will also improve offspring neurodevelopment.
The objective is to determine if a set of clinical supports that includes computer-assisted identification, an EHR registry, facilitated GI referral, and an EHR tool for documentation improves the timely referral and completion of bidirectional endoscopy in men aged 18 years and older and women aged 40 years and older with iron deficiency anemia.
Several clinical trials have been reported for ferric derisomaltose where it has been shown to be well tolerated and to improve markers of IDA. All clinical trials with ferric derisomaltose have been performed in adults, however, IDA is not specific to the adult population. In fact, children are likely to develop IDA due to their rapid growth. The aim in this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) ferric derisomaltose in children 0 to \<18 years of age with IDA due to NDD-CKD or with IDA who are intolerant or unresponsive to oral iron . The subjects will receive ferric derisomaltose/iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monoferric®/Monofer®), at single doses of 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg with a maximal dose of 1000 mg. 24 subjects will be part of a PK assessment, meaning that more blood samples will be drawn within the first week after treatment. The blood samples will be used for analysis of the amount of total iron in the blood from treatment is given to day 7. For the individual subject, duration of the trial will be approximately 10 weeks (including a 14-day screening period) and each subject will attend 6-9 visits. Subjects who will be included in the PK assessments will attend 8 (subjects age 6 to \<12 years old and 0 to \<6 years old) or 9 (subjects age 12 to \<18 years old) visits, while the other subjects will attend 6 visits.
The investigators will retrospectively collect data of patients infused at UMC's emergency department (ED) with long acting irons (ferric carboxymaltose, iron dextran, iron sucrose, etc.), in addition, patients infused with blood products, with intent to treat iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Patient records reviewed will be from patients who were infused at UMC ED from January 2013 to June 2018. Primary aim of analysis will be to investigate superiority between interventions implemented for treating IDA. In addition, the investigators will utilize data to characterize patients who used ED services as an avenue to receive treatment for IDA. Further, the investigators will conduct cost analysis between different IDA directed treatments administered in the ED at UMC.
The objective of the study is to compare the safety and gastrointestinal tolerability of ferric maltol oral suspension and ferrous sulfate oral liquid in children and adolescents aged 2 years to 17 years, and assess the safety and tolerability of ferric maltol oral suspension in children 1 month to less than 2 years, in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia during the 12 weeks treatment period.
An Open-Label, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) in Infants (0-1 year) with Iron Deficiency Anemia.
Maternal iron deficiency anemia is associated with maternal and infant mortality, spontaneous preterm birth, maternal postpartum hemorrhage, and neurocognitive defects in the neonate. Therefore, preventing maternal iron deficiency anemia in at-risk women is critical. Obese pregnant women have greater systemic inflammation and circulating hepcidin levels compared to nonobese pregnant women. This phenotype implies obese pregnant women have decreased iron bioavailability and may be less responsive to oral iron supplementation because hepcidin is a negative regulator of dietary iron absorption, suggesting alternative interventions are needed to optimize their iron status in pregnancy. There is increasing evidence that consuming the oral bovine lactoferrin (bLf) can enhance dietary iron absorption by promoting an anti-inflammatory immune response and hepcidin suppression, indicating this intervention may be beneficial to pregnant obese women at risk for iron deficiency anemia. The primary goal of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of this low-cost, safe, innovative approach to optimizing maternal iron status in obese women at risk of iron deficiency anemia (Hb 11.0 - 12.0 g/dL (first trimester)/10.5 - 11.5 g/dL (second trimester) for non-Black women and 10.2 - 11.2 g/dL (first trimester)/9.7 -- 10.7 g/dL (second trimester) for Black women) from 15-20 weeks of gestation (WG) until the time of labor. The investigators will explore effects on maternal and neonatal iron status and Hb and changes to maternal systemic inflammation and circulating hepcidin. This study is an essential first step toward evaluating if daily oral bLf is an efficacious, safe, inexpensive, and scalable clinical strategy for the prevention of maternal iron deficiency anemia and its related complications in at-risk women.
The target population for our study is pregnant women in the first or second trimester with a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. If a subject is eligible, written consent will be obtained by person to person contact. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either daily oral iron supplementation or every other day oral iron supplementation.
This is a randomized, controlled multi-site trial of iron therapy in pregnancy. The purpose of this research is to see if second trimester initiation of intravenous (IV) iron therapy is better than oral iron therapy for treatment of anemia in pregnancy by improving blood count, quality of life and reducing side effects.
Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose in Pediatric Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia and an Unsatisfactory Response to Oral Iron under Study Protocol 1VIT17044
Given the limited long-term effectiveness of traditional weight loss methods, bariatric surgery is increasingly becoming the preferred option for sustained weight loss. With the ascendancy of the laparoscopic approach, the two most common procedures are the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and the vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). Because bariatric surgery decreases nutrient intake through restriction, malabsorption, or both, and given that obese patients are often malnourished even before surgery, postoperative micronutrient deficiency, particularly of iron, can be a serious complication and difficult to treat. Iron deficiency anemia has been reported to be as high as 49% in the post-bariatric surgical patient. The current standard for correcting iron deficiency anemia in the post-operative bariatric surgical patient is oral iron supplements. However, oral iron therapy is known for its caustic effects on the gastric mucosa causing gastric irritation, nausea, epigastric discomfort and constipation. These debilitating symptoms lead to poor adherence and lower long and short-term efficacy. Furthermore, iron absorption from oral iron supplements when taken with food in patients with low iron stores ranges from 2 to 13% and without food 5 to 28%. An alternative and more effective method of iron replenishment is the use of intravenous iron. A litany of published trials, without contradiction, show marked superiority of intravenous iron in improving hemoglobin concentrations and iron parameters when compared to historical controls. Nonetheless, the current recommendations of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery nutritional guidelines, state that oral iron supplementation for IDA is the recommended first line of treatment. Studies are lacking that compare the efficacy of oral versus intravenous (IV) iron therapy for the treatment of IDA in the post-bariatric surgical patient. The aim of our study is to compare two accepted treatments for iron deficiency anemia (oral ferrous sulfate and intravenous ferumoxytol) for efficacy and speed of response in the treatment of IDA in the post-operative bariatric surgical patient. In this study, 104 bariatric surgical post-operative patients will be randomly assigned 52 each to oral or 52 to a single dose IV iron treatment using double-blind procedures. The primary outcome will be determined at 6 weeks of treatment with a follow-up at 12 months after treatment. Non-responders at 6 weeks after treatment may, if they qualify (based on inclusion/exclusion criteria), have an open-label IV iron treatment and will be followed with the same evaluations used after the first IV iron treatments.
Evaluate the extent to which treatment of iron deficiency anemia beyond 24-34 weeks' gestation of pregnancy with intravenous iron increases hemoglobin compared to oral iron. The investigators will test the hypothesis that pregnant women who are anemic in the second and third trimester are more likely to significantly increase their hemoglobin with intravenous iron as opposed to the usual standard of care, oral iron.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter, study in male and female pediatric subjects (2 years to \<18 years of age) with IDA, or felt by their clinician to be at risk of developing IDA. This study allows for enrollment of subjects with IDA regardless of etiology, except for CKD subjects (pediatric CKD subjects are being studied in a separate ferumoxytol protocol).
Primary Objectives: To evaluate the safety (compared to iron sucrose) and efficacy of ferumoxytol in pediatric CKD subjects with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or who are at risk of development of IDA Secondary Objective: To determine the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profile of ferumoxytol in pediatric subjects.
Iron deficiency is thought to be the most common nutrient deficiency among pregnant women and the most common cause of anemia in pregnancy. The consequences of iron deficiency anemia are serious and can include diminished intellectual and productive capacity and possibly increased susceptibility to infection in mothers and infants, low birthweight, and premature births, hence the importance of appropriate treatment during pregnancy. Most guidelines recommend an increase in iron consumption by about 15-30 mg/day, an amount readily met by most prenatal vitamin formulations. This is adequate supplementation for non-anemic and non-iron-deficient women. However, women with iron deficiency anemia should receive an additional 30-20 mg/day until the anemia is corrected. It is not clear whether intermittent administration of oral iron is equivalent to once daily to rise the hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia. Alternate day treatment with supplemental iron has been suggested as a way to improve its absorption because daily doses may suppress the mucosal uptake of iron even in the presence of iron deficiency until the intestinal mucosa completes its turnover. Another possible factor associated with the frequency of iron dosing is related to hepcidin, the central regulatory molecule in the metabolism of iron in mammals. The synthesis of hepcidin is controlled by 3 kinds of signals: inflammation; the need for increased erythropoiesis, and an iron status signal based on plasma iron levels and iron stores. If plasma iron levels or iron stores are increased, the resulting signal increases hepcidin levels, thereby blocking iron absorption and its release from stores (liver, macrophages) and preventing iron overload.This hepcidin effect, suppressing iron absorption, could last as long as 48h. In this study, the researchers aim to determine if alternate day dosing of iron in pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia results in improved levels of hemoglobin or hematocrit and ferritin. Hepcidin levels will be compared between patients on daily iron supplementation versus alternate day supplementation. The researchers will also evaluate if alternate day dosing of iron supplementation results in a better side effect profile, and with better patient compliance.
Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia in pregnancy worldwide, and, when severe, can have serious consequences for mothers and babies. While treatment of iron-deficiency anemia with iron supplementation is recommended, treatment strategies remain controversial: the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends oral iron supplementation with parental iron reserved for the rare patient who cannot tolerate or will not take oral iron, while United Kingdom professional organizations recommend a more liberal use of parenteral iron. The reason for these disparate recommendations is that few high-quality studies comparing oral to parenteral iron have been conducted in developed countries, and the potential impact of parental iron treatment on obstetric and perinatal outcomes remains unclear. We propose the first randomized-controlled trial in the United States describing the effectiveness and safety of treating pregnant women with iron-deficiency anemia with a protocol including parenteral iron compared with a protocol based on oral iron.
This study will evaluate bioequivalence of two formulations of Ferric Carboxymaltose as measured by serum total iron, in adult patients with iron deficiency anemia.
The trial was designed to evaluate the incidence of unintended hypophosphatemia (low level of phosphate in the blood) in subjects with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA).

This is a Phase 1 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a novel medical food utilizing a nutritional strain of yeast for management of Iron Deficiency Anemia.
To evaluate the efficacy of oral ferric maltol compared with placebo in the treatment of IDA in subjects with CKD
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare Injectafer® (ferric carboxymaltose) with an iron supplement to learn which may be more effective in improving red blood cell counts in patients who have iron-deficiency anemia (a low red blood cell count) because of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and/or systemic therapy. The safety of ferric carboxymaltose will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Ferric carboxymaltose is FDA approved and commercially available to treat iron deficiency anemia; however, it is considered investigational to use in patients who have cancer-related or systemic therapy-related anemia. Up to 50 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
