About this study

Official title: The Effect of Short Term Oral Iron Supplementation in Systolic Heart Failure Patients Suffering From Iron Deficiency Anemia

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Ferrous Sulphate (FS) tablets in improving iron stores and functional capacity in HF patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA).

Read the detailed description

The investigators conducted a double blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) enrolling 54 Heart Failure (HF) patients (LVEF < 50%) with IDA (Ferritin < 100 ng/mL or 100-300 ng/mL with Tsat < 20%) at outpatient clinic of National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita from January to July 2016. Patients were randomized 1:1 to received FS or placebo for 90 days, the investigators then evaluated the change in 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) distance as primary end-point and changes on N-Terminal-pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and post 6MWT serum lactate levels as secondary end-points.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Ferrous Sulfate in people with Heart Failure, Systolic and Iron-deficiency Anemia, run by National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita Hospital Indonesia.

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 8 inclusion and 12 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 20 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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?

Functional Capacity (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT02998697, which also lists 4 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 20 Dec 2016.
