About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled Study to Investigate the Safety and Explore the Mechanism of Hypophosphatemia With Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) Versus Iron Dextran in Women With Iron Deficiency Secondary to Heavy Uterine Bleeding

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of an investigational intravenous iron (ferric carboxymaltose [FCM]) or an equal dose of iron dextran and explore the mechanism of hypophosphatemia following administration of FCM or that of an equal dose of iron dextran when treating women with iron deficiency anemia due to heavy uterine bleeding (HUB).

Read the detailed description

To assess the safety of an investigational intravenous iron (ferric carboxymaltose [FCM]) or an equal dose of iron dextran and explore the mechanism of hypophosphatemia following administration of FCM or that of an equal dose of iron dextran when treating women with iron deficiency anemia due to heavy uterine bleeding (HUB).

Being tested
Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM), Iron Dextran Injection
Medical subject headings
Anemia, Iron-Deficiency

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM)Drug

    Also called Injectafer

    15 mg/kg up to a maximum of 1000 mg intravenous diluted in 250 cc normal saline solution administered over 15 minutes on Day 0

  • Iron Dextran InjectionDrug

    Also called Dexferrum and INFeD

    Test dose of 25 mg administered over 5 minutes, if no reaction occurs then the remainder of the dose (15 mg/kg or 1000 mg including the test dose) will be administered as per investigator. The infusion must be given only when resuscitative techniques for the treatment of anaphylactic reactions are readily available.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) and Iron Dextran Injection in people with Iron Deficiency Anemia, run by American Regent, Inc..

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 5 inclusion and 23 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 19 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 27 Jun 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?

Changes in Blood Markers (time frame: Day 35). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01307007, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Feb 2018.
