Show all 21Show fewer
  • Active Intestinal amoebic infections.
  • Decompensated liver cirrhosis and hepatitis (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3 times upper limit normal).

  • Erythropoetin treatment within 8 weeks prior to screening visit.
  • Diagnosis of Hepatitis B and/or C, confirmed by appropriate lab test.
  • Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of Investigator, may cause the patient to be unsuitable for the completion of the study or place the patient at potential risk from being in the study. Example, Uncontrolled Hypertension, Unstable Ischemic Heart Disease or Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus.

About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Comparative, Open-label Study of Intravenous Iron Oligosaccharide (Monofer®) Administered by Infusions or Repeated Bolus Injections in Comparison With Oral Iron Sulphate in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Subjects With Iron Deficiency Anaemia

The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate that intravenous iron oligosaccharide is non-inferior to oral iron sulphate in reducing iron deficiency anaemia secondary to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), evaluated as the ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb).

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to determine the effects of an investigational drug Monofer in subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) (an intestinal disease characterized by swelling, redness and sometimes ulcers in intestine) and with Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) (Anaemia is a condition characterized by deficiency of blood in the body).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Hb concentration from baseline to week 8.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of subjects who achieve target limits of Hb (men 13-18 g/dL, women 12-16 g/dL) and have change in Hb concentration > 1.0 g/dL and have serum ferritin (100-800µg/L) and have achieved Transferrin saturation (TfS) (20-50 %) at week 2, 4 and 8.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Monofer and Iron Sulphate in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by Pharmacosmos A/S at 10 sites in 3 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 21 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 27 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in India, Denmark, United Kingdom. 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?

Change in Hb concentration from baseline to week 8. (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 27 Nov 2012.
