About this study

Official title: A Non-interventional Study of Diafer (5% Iron Isomaltoside 1000) Administered According to Standard Hospital Practice and Product Labelling in Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease on Haemodialysis for Treatment of Iron Deficiency

The purpose of the study is to monitor initiated Diafer® therapy administered according to hospital practice and the product labeling in routine clinical practice in haemodialysis patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Read the detailed description

Parenteral iron is the iron treatment of choice for haemodialysis (HD) patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), who may suffer from absolute iron deficiency due to continuous blood losses and/or functional iron deficiency due to erythropoiesis stimulating agent treatment or impaired release from iron stores.

Much evidence indicates that adequate iron supply is necessary to achieve optimal responses to ESAs and thereby potentially avoid ESA induced ADRs.

Pharmacosmos has been working with dialysis providers for many years and identified a medical need for a new safe and cost-effective low dose intravenous (IV) iron that can be administered frequently. Diafer® is a new low dose iron formulation based on iron isomaltoside 1000, with doses restricted to maximum 200 mg iron pr. injection. No test dose is needed and Diafer® may be administered as a push injection.

The primary objective of the study is to monitor initiated Diafer® therapy administered according to hospital practice and the product labeling in routine clinical practice in HD patients with CKD. The scientific rationale being to fulfil a need for systematic information/auditing on applied practice including long term experience with the use of IV iron in the HD setting. This information will provide an evidence base for optimised treatment procedures.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anaemia in Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Pharmacosmos A/S at 2 sites in 2 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 14 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Sweden, 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.

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?

Hb (Change in Hb compared to baseline at 3 months intervals) (time frame: 12 month). 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 NCT02301026, 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 14 Jun 2017.
