About this study

Official title: A, Randomized Comparative, Open-Label Study of Intravenous Iron Isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) Administered by High Single Dose In-fusions or Standard Medical Care in Women After Postpartum Haemorrhage

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of IV high single dose infusion of iron isomaltoside 1000 to standard medical care in women with PPH evaluated as physical fatigue.

Being tested
Iron isomaltoside 1000, Standard medical Care
Medical subject headings
Postpartum Hemorrhage

What participants receive

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

  • Iron isomaltoside 1000Drug

    Also called Monofer®

    A single dose of 1200 mg iron isomaltoside 1000 is given. The dose is diluted in 100 ml 0.9 % sodium chloride and given over approximately 15 min.

  • Standard medical CareOther

    Standard medical Care is most often to recommend women with PPH to continue oral iron supplementation as recommended during pregnancy or to advise the subject to take 100 mg oral iron 1-2 times a day

  11. Change in concentrations of reticulocyte count

    Measured: From exposure to day 3, week 1, 3, 8 and 12 post-exposure

  12. Change in concentrations of mean reticulocyte haemoglobin content (CHr)

    Measured: From exposure to day 3, week 1, 3, 8 and 12 post-exposure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Iron isomaltoside 1000 and Standard medical Care in people with Postpartum Haemorrhage, run by Pharmacosmos A/S at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 14 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 29 Apr 2015. 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 Denmark. 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?

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?

Physical fatigue (time frame: From exposure to 12 weeks post-exposure). 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 NCT01895218, which also lists 2 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 29 Apr 2015.
