Being tested
Ferumoxytol, FCM
Keywords

What participants receive

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

    Also called Feraheme

  • FCMDrug

    Also called Injectafer, Ferinject

Study groups in NCT02694978
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FerumoxytolExperimentalParticipants received an IV infusion of ferumoxytol 510 milligram (mg) diluted (17 milliliter [mL]) in 233 mL 0.9% sodium chloride injection, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) (normal saline) (final volume 250 mL) over at least 15 minutes with a second dose 7-8 days after the first dose, for a total cumulative dose of 1.020 g.
Receives: Drug: Ferumoxytol
FCMActive comparatorParticipants received an IV infusion of FCM 750 mg diluted (15 mL) in 235 mL 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP (normal saline) (final volume 250 mL) over at least 15 minutes with a second dose 7-8 days after the first dose, for a total cumulative dose of 1.500 g.
Receives: Drug: FCM

What is being measured

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

  1. Participants With Treatment-Emergent (TE) Moderate To Severe Hypersensitivity Reactions (Rxns), Including Anaphylaxis, Or Moderate To Severe Hypotension

    All IV iron formulations carry some risk of serious hypersensitivity reactions or anaphylaxis. Signs and symptoms potentially representing hypersensitivity were recorded and adjudicated by a blinded Clinical Events Committee (CEC). Hypotension is defined as a >30% drop in systolic blood pressure from baseline or decrease of >20 mmHg for systolic blood pressure.

    Statistical analysis was only performed on composite data. A summary of serious and all other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Day 1 (after first dosing) through Week 5

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Participants With Moderate To Severe Hypersensitivity Reactions, Including Anaphylaxis, Serious Cardiovascular Events, And Death

    All IV iron formulations carry some risk of serious hypersensitivity reactions or anaphylaxis. Signs and symptoms potentially representing hypersensitivity were recorded and adjudicated by a blinded Clinical Events Committee (CEC).

    A summary of serious and all other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Day 1 (after first dosing) through Week 5

  2. Mean Change In Hemoglobin From Baseline To Week 5

    Mean change in hemoglobin from Baseline to Week 5 was calculated for each participant as: Hemoglobin Change = Hemoglobin (Week 5) - Hemoglobin (Baseline). Baseline was defined as the Day 1 value (prior to injection of study drug). The screening or most recent value prior to Day 1 was used for any participant with missing Day 1 information.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1), Week 5

  3. Mean Change In Hemoglobin Per Gram Of Iron Administered From Baseline To Week 5

    Mean change in hemoglobin per g of iron administered from Baseline (Day 1) to Week 5 was calculated for each participant as: Hemoglobin Change = Hemoglobin (Week 5) - Hemoglobin (Baseline). Baseline was defined as the Day 1 value (prior to injection of study drug). The screening or most recent value prior to Day 1 was used for any participant with missing Day 1 information.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1), Week 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ferumoxytol and FCM in people with Iron Deficiency Anemia, run by AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 127 sites in 7 countries.

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 6 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 25 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 127 sites in United States, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and 2 more countries. 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 11 Jun 2018). 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?

Participants With Treatment-Emergent (TE) Moderate To Severe Hypersensitivity Reactions (Rxns), Including Anaphylaxis, Or Moderate To Severe Hypotension (time frame: Day 1 (after first dosing) through Week 5). 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 NCT02694978, which also lists 3 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 25 Jul 2023.
