About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled Study to Investigate the Safety and Oxidative Stress Potential of Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) vs. IV Iron Sucrose or IV Iron Dextran in Treating Iron Deficiency Anemia in Women

The purpose of this study is to compare safety and the oxidative stress potential of two doses of an investigational IV iron, ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), compared to an equal single dose of IV iron sucrose or IV iron dextran in the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) in female subjects.

Read the detailed description

This was a Phase 2a, open-label, multicenter, randomized study that compared the safety and oxidative stress potential of FCM vs. IV iron sucrose or IV iron dextran in female subjects with IDA. Subjects with a diagnosis of IDA who required iron supplementation met all inclusion and no exclusion criteria, and had given informed consent were randomized. The duration of the study for each subject was a maximum of 6 weeks.

Eligible subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to FCM (Group A) or IV iron sucrose or IV iron dextran (Group B).

Group A subjects received a single undiluted dose of iron as FCM by a slow IV injection on Day 0. Cohort I received 500 mg and Cohort II received 750 mg. Group B subjects received a single dose of iron as IV iron sucrose or as IC iron dextran on Day 0. Cohort I receive 500 mg iron sucrose and Cohort II received 750 mg iron dextran. Iron dextran administration was preceded by a 25 mg test dose 1 hour prior to infusion.

All subjects had laboratory assessments at Baseline, 2 hours post-infusion, 24 hours post-infusion, Day 7 (drawn at the same time of day [within 4 hours] as the 24-hour visit), and Day 30 (drawn at the same time of day [within 4 hours] as the the 24-hour visit). On Days 7 and 30, the safety evalutation for all subjects included treatment-emergent adverse event reporting, concomitant medication review, physical examination including vital signs, and laboratory assessments. Any subject who withdrew from the study received a follow-up phone call 30 days after they received study drug.

What participants receive

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

  • Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM)Drug

    Also called Injectafer

    One 500 mg dose at 100 mg/minute (Cohort I) or 750 mg dose at 100 mg/minute (Cohort II)

  • Iron Sucrose / Iron DextranDrug

    Also called Venofer, Dexferrum

    One 500 mg dose of IV iron sucrose administered over 4 hours (Cohort I), or a 750 mg dose of IV iron dextran administered as a 25 mg test dose over 5 minutes followed by a 725 mg dose over 3 hours if no adverse reaction to test dose is observed after 60 minutes (Cohort II)

  3. Changes From Baseline in Markers of Oxidative Stress (Carbonyl and 8-isoprostane)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 24 hours post end IV infusion

  4. Changes From Baseline in Markers of Oxidative Stress (Carbonyl and 8-isoprostane)

    Measured: Change from baseline to Day 7 post end IV infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) and Iron Sucrose / Iron Dextran in people with Iron Deficiency Anemia, run by American Regent, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 26 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 8 Feb 2018. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 8 Feb 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?

Changes From Baseline in Markers of Oxidative Stress (Carbonyl and 8-isoprostane) (time frame: Change from Baseline to Day 30). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Feb 2018.
