What is being measured

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

  1. Bioequivalence assessed by maximum serum concentration (Cmax)of serum total iron.

    Measured by Cmax - The maximum plasma concentration of iron

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  2. Bioequivalence assessed by area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) of serum total iron.

    Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK) of study medication: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC)

    Measured: Up to 7 Days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of serum transferrin-bound iron.

    Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK): The maximum plasma concentration

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  2. Time of Cmax (Tmax) of serum total iron and transferrin-bound iron

    Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK): Time of Cmax (Tmax)

    Measured: Up to 7 Days

  3. Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) of serum transferrin-bound iron

    Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK): area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC)

    Measured: Up to 7 Days

  4. Apparent terminal rate constant of serum total iron and transferrin-bound iron

    Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK): Apparent terminal rate constant

    Measured: Up to 7 Days

  5. Apparent terminal half-life of serum total iron and transferrin-bound iron

    Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK): Apparent terminal half-life

    Measured: Up to 7 Days

  6. Systemic clearance (CL) of serum total iron and transferrin-bound iron after intravenous dosing

    Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK): Systemic clearance (CL)

    Measured: Up to 7 Days

  7. Volume of distribution at steady state of serum total iron and transferrin-bound iron following intravenous dosing

    Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK): Volume of distribution at steady state Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK): Volume of distribution at steady state (Vss)

    Measured: Up to 7 Days

  8. Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ferric carboxymaltose in people with Iron Deficiency Anemia, run by Sandoz 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 30 May 2019. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Bioequivalence assessed by maximum serum concentration (Cmax)of serum total iron. (time frame: Up to 7 days). The study lists 2 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 30 May 2019.
