About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the time point of transferrin saturation (TSAT) and ferritin stabilization after a thirteen-treatment period following a ferumoxytol load, as well as to determine the point at which serum ferritin and TSAT concentrations can be checked in iron deficiency anemia (IDA) hemodialysis patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Weeks Until Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) and Ferritin Stabilize

    TSAT,ferritin,and TIBC measured before start of dialysis on dosing days, and on next 13 HD treatments. Continuous variables were summarized using median. Paired continuous data (e.g., TSAT, serum ferritin) were compared using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Analyses evaluating stabilization of post drug iron indices was determined by comparing consecutive values at consecutive dialysis sessions and when there was no longer a difference between 2 consecutive time points, levels were considered stabilized. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.

    Measured: pre-dosing/baseline, and 7 (visit 5), 14 (visit 8), 21 (visit 11) and 28 (visit 14) days after drug administration

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Transferrin Saturation (TSAT)

    Transferrin saturation (TSAT) measured as a percentage, is a medical laborastory test. It is the ratio of serum iron and total iron-binding capacity, multiplied by 100

    Measured: 7 (visit 5), 14 (visit 8), 21 (visit 11), and 28 (visit14) days.

  2. Serum Ferritin

    Serum ferritin values were measured at all visits

    Measured: 7 (visit 5), 14 (visit 8), 21 (visit 11) and 28 days (visit 14)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ferumoxytol in people with Iron Deficiency Anemia, run by Dialysis Clinic, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 18 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 30 Mar 2012. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Mar 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Weeks Until Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) and Ferritin Stabilize (time frame: pre-dosing/baseline, and 7 (visit 5), 14 (visit 8), 21 (visit 11) and 28 (visit 14) days after drug administration). 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 30 Mar 2012.
