About this study

Official title: Iron Supplementation for Acute Anemia After Postbariatric Abdominoplasty: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous or oral iron are effective in the treatment of postoperative anemia and iron deficiency in patients submitted in postbariatric abdominoplasty.

Read the detailed description

Multicenter open randomized clinical trial with allocation ratio 1: 1. 56 adult patients undergoing post- bariatric abdominoplasty will be evaluated. The study group will receive 200 mg of intravenous iron in the immediate postoperative period and a second application on day 1 postoperatively. The control group will receive 100 mg of oral iron twice daily for 8 weeks. Haematological variables , iron 's profile , quality of life ( SF -36 and FACT- An) and adverse events will be assessed preoperatively and on the first , fourth and eighth weeks postoperatively .

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemoglobin level

    Hemoglobin level measured at 8 postoperative weeks

    Measured: 8 postoperative weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Ferritin levels

    Measured: Preoperative (one day before surgery) and 1, 4 and 8 postoperative weeks

  2. FACIT

    Measured: Preoperative (one day before surgery) and 1, 4 and 8 postoperative weeks

  3. SF36

    Quality of Life Questionnaire

    Measured: Preoperative (one day before surgery) and 1, 4 and 8 postoperative weeks

  4. Transferrin saturation

    Measured: Preoperative (one day before surgery) and 1, 4 and 8 postoperative weeks

  5. Hemoglobin levels

    Measured: preoperative (one day before surgery) and 1, 4 postoperative weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Intravenous Iron sucrose and Oral Iron in people with Anemia, Iron-Deficiency and Weight Loss, run by Federal University of São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 24 Jan 2017. 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 Brazil. 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?

Hemoglobin level (time frame: 8 postoperative weeks). 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 NCT01857011, which also lists 2 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 24 Jan 2017.
