Trial summary

Anemia is the the most frequently extradigestive symptom for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This is due to iron deficiency and inflammation. Most of treatments aim to control inflammation using anti-TNF alpha therapy which should theorically reduce anemia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Controlled, Randomised, Double-blind, Multicenter Study, Comparing Ferrisat Versus Placebo in Anemia Associated to Inflammatory Bowel Disease During Anti-TNF Therapy

Anemia is the the most frequently extradigestive symptom for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This is due to iron deficiency and inflammation.

Most of treatments aim to control inflammation using anti-TNF alpha therapy which should theorically reduce anemia.

The aim of the study is to show that perfusion of iron associated to anti-TNF therapy should reduce anemia and improve quality of life of patients.

What participants receive

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

  • FERRISATDrug

    Also called ACTIVE FERRISAT

    A single infusion of 50 mg/ml of Ferrisat during inclusion visit.

  • PLACEBODrug

    Also called GLUCOSE 5%

    A single infusion of Glucose 5% solution during inclusion visit

    Measured: At Inclusion

  2. Improvement of quality of life

    Measured: 6 weeks after perfusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing FERRISAT in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by Groupe d'Etude Therapeutique des Affections Inflammatoires Digestives at 18 sites 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 6 inclusion and 1 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 23 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of enrollment). 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?

Level of hemoglobin (time frame: 6 weeks after inclusion). 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 NCT01428843, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 23 Jun 2015.
