About this study

Official title: Effect of Intravenous Iron Isomaltoside on Postoperative Anemia in Patients Underwent Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Single-blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Postoperative anemia is a frequent complication after total knee arthroplasty, with an incidence of 87%. Iron supplementation is known to be effective in treatment and prevention of postoperative anemia. The investigators examined the effect of intravenous iron isomaltoside (Monofer®) administration on postoperative anemia and transfusion requirements in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Participants undergoing total knee arthroplasty will be randomly assigned to treatment group or control group. After main procedure of total knee arthroplasty, iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) or normal saline will be intravenously administered depending on the group assigned. The dose of iron isomaltoside will be determined based on patient's body weight using the manufacturer's recommendation. Serum hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation, and phosphorus level will be checked at preoperative day, postoperative day 1, 7, and 30.

The primary outcome is the incidence of postoperative anemia at 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes included the incidence and amount of red blood cell transfusion during admission period, hospital length of stay, the incidence of surgical site infection, and quality of life during postoperative period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Iron Isomaltoside 1000 in people with Anemia and Knee Arthropathy, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 10 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 18 Apr 2019. 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 South Korea. 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.

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?

Postoperative anemia (time frame: 30 days after surgery). 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 NCT03470649, 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 18 Apr 2019.
