About this study

Official title: Observational Study of Iron Metabolism in Anemia in ICU and Post-Operative Patients, Role of Hepcidin

Anemia in intensive care and post-operative patients is due to both blood loss (leading to iron loss) and inflammation.

Read the detailed description

Anemia in intensive care and post-operative patients is due to both blood loss (leading to iron loss) and inflammation. The latter is known to interfere with iron metabolism, inducing iron storage instead of using it for hemoglobin synthesis. The discover of a new regulatory hormone of iron metabolism, hepcidin, may help us to better understand the link between inflammation and iron functional deficit. The aim of our study is to observe the variation of usual iron metabolism biological markers and of hepcidin, in order to define the better marker of iron loss in these clinical situations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia and Intensive Care, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Functional iron deficiency (time frame: during the study). 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 6 May 2008.
