About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Extension Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Ferumoxytol for the Episodic Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Pediatric Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease

Study AMAG-FER-CKD-253 is an extension study of the combined AMAG-FER-CKD-251 (NCT01155375) and AMAG-FER-CKD-252 (NCT01155388) studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of episodic treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) with ferumoxytol.

Read the detailed description

Study AMAG-FER-CKD-251 was a study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) ferumoxytol in pediatric participants with dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD). Study AMAG-FER-CKD-252 was a study evaluating the efficacy and safety of IV ferumoxytol in pediatric participants with nondialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease.

Due to significant challenges with enrollment for both studies, Study AMAG-FER-CKD-252 was combined with Study AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and enrollment continued under Study AMAG-FER-CKD-251.

Participants were enrolled by age cohorts in a stepwise manner following a safety review by the Data Safety Monitoring Board of 1 age cohort prior to enrollment of a subsequent age cohort, with progression from oldest to youngest: Randomization was stratified by the following age cohorts: 12 to <18 years, 6 to <12 years, 2 to <6 years, and 6 months to <2 years.

Participants who completed the combined AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and AMAG-FER-CKD-252 studies had the option of participating in this extension study.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FerumoxytolExperimentalWhen a participant has persistent or recurrent IDA (defined as hemoglobin <12.0 grams [g]/deciliter [dL] and with either transferrin saturation <40% or ferritin <100 nanograms/milliliter), the participant will begin a 7-week treatment period. Participants will receive 2 IV injections of ferumoxytol 7.0 milligrams (mg) iron/kilogram (maximum of 510 mg/dose), the first dose administered on Day 1 and the second on Days 3 through 9 of the Treatment Period.
Receives: Drug: Ferumoxytol

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change In Hemoglobin From Baseline To Week 5

    Mean changes in hemoglobin following the first course of ferumoxytol from Baseline to Week 5 were to be presented. Despite efforts to complete the studies as designed, several factors contributed to significant challenges in enrollment and led the Sponsor to discontinue the combined AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and AMAG-FER-CKD-252 studies, and the AMAG-FER-CKD-253 study. Blood samples were collected, but not run through an analysis to obtain outcome measure data. As such, the data set for this primary outcome measure cannot be summarized nor can the statistical analysis, as described in the protocol, be provided in a way that will provide any significant data based upon the limited study datasets.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 5

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Proportion Of Participants With An Increase In Hemoglobin From Baseline To Week 5 And To Week 7

    The proportion of participants with an increase hemoglobin to ≥1.0 g/dL or to ≥12.0 g/dL during the period from Baseline to Week 5 and to Week 7 following each course of ferumoxytol was to be presented. However, despite efforts to complete the studies as designed, several factors contributed to significant challenges in enrollment and led the Sponsor to discontinue the combined AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and AMAG-FER-CKD-252 studies, and the AMAG-FER-CKD-253 study. Blood samples were collected, but not run through an analysis to obtain outcome measure data. As such, the data set for this secondary outcome measure cannot be summarized in a way that will provide any significant data based upon the limited study datasets.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 5 and Week 7

  2. Mean Change In TSAT From Baseline To Week 5 And To Week 7

    Mean changes in TSAT following the first course of ferumoxytol from Baseline to Week 5 and to Week 7 were to be presented. However, despite efforts to complete the studies as designed, several factors contributed to significant challenges in enrollment and led the Sponsor to discontinue the combined AMAG-FER-CKD-251 and AMAG-FER-CKD-252 studies, and the AMAG-FER-CKD-253 study. Blood samples were collected, but not run through an analysis to obtain outcome measure data. As such, the data set for this secondary outcome measure cannot be summarized in a way that will provide any significant data based upon the limited study datasets.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 5 and Week 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ferumoxytol in people with Iron Deficiency Anemia, run by AMAG Pharmaceuticals, 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2022. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 6 Nov 2017). 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?

Mean Change In Hemoglobin From Baseline To Week 5 (time frame: Baseline, Week 5). 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 28 Apr 2022.
