About this study

Official title: Use of FERAHEME® (Ferumoxytol) for Severe Chronic Kidney Disease and Peritoneal Dialysis

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of ferumoxytol for the repletion of iron stores and correction of iron deficiency anaemia in patients with severe chronic kidney disease or end-stage chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis, and to assess the impact of the administration of a ferumoxytol dose on various markers for iron stores, as well as on various markers for inflammation and oxidative stress.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in hemoglobin, serum ferritin and transferrin saturation

    Measured: 4 weeks following ferumoxytol administration

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and Interleukin-6)

    Measured: 60 minutes following ferumoxytol administration

  2. Change in oxidative stress markers (Malondialdehyde, Advance Oxidation Protein Products, Non Transferrin-bound Iron)

    Measured: 60 minutes following ferumoxytol administration

  3. Change in soluble transferrin receptor

    Measured: 4 weeks following ferumoxytol administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ferumoxytol in people with Iron-Deficiency Anemia and Inflammation, run by Georges Ouellet at 1 site in Canada.

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 17 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 13 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 Canada. 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?

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?

Change in hemoglobin, serum ferritin and transferrin saturation (time frame: 4 weeks following ferumoxytol 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 13 Apr 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
