About this study
Official title: Randomized, Parallel Group, Clinical Trial Comparing Intravenous Iron Sucrose Versus Oral Ferrous Sulphate in the Treatment of Perioperative Iron Deficiency in Patients With Colo-Rectal Neoplasm and Iron Deficiency Anemia.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose in increasing preoperative haemoglobin values in patients with colo-rectal neoplasm and iron deficiency anemia, compared to the standard treatment with oral iron. It will also determine whether intravenous iron sucrose administration improves outcomes such as postoperative haemoglobin values, serum ferritin values, transfusional needs, postoperative complications, or length of hospital stay.
Read the detailed description
Most patients with colorectal neoplasm have iron deficiency, which can be triggered in the pre-operative period by a decrease of iron intake and the bleeding in the site of neoplasm.
In the postoperative period, iron deficiency can be aggravated by surgical bleeding.
Iron plays a leading rol in haemoglobin production, cell mitosis and immune system. Animal experimentation has shown that induced iron deficiency and mild anemia lead to postoperative mortality and lactacidemia in a model of peritonitis.
Moreover, anemia is the main risk factor to require intra and postoperative blood transfusions, and iron deficiency and anemia are associated to a larger number of postoperative complications (infections and longer hospital stay).
Oral iron therapy is the standard treatment in patients with preoperative iron deficiency, but iron levels inside red cells may not reach normality in time before surgery, and it can not be resumed until the patient can start again oral feeding.
In these patients, any increase in preoperative haemoglobin decreases the risk to need a blood transfusion during or after surgery.
This trial will compare standard oral iron and intravenous iron.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Preoperative variations in hemoglobin.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Sep 2005; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
