About this study

Official title: Single Dose Intravenous Iron Isomaltoside in Combination With Oral Iron vs Oral Iron Monotherapy in Patients With Anemia After Postpartum Haemorrhage: A Single-blinded, Randomised Controlled Trial

The investigator's study is going to compare effectiveness of single dose intravenous iron in combination with oral iron versus oral iron monotherapy in correcting haemoglobin deficit, replenishing iron stores and improving clinical symptoms in women with post-partum anaemia after postpartum hemorrhage without increasing the rate of adverse outcomes.

Being tested
Iron Isomaltoside 1000, Placebo, Iberet-Folic-500
Medical subject headings
Postpartum Hemorrhage, Anemia

What participants receive

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

  • Iron Isomaltoside 1000Drug

    single dose of 1000 mg iron isomaltoside diluted in 100 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride, infused intravenously over ≥ 20 minutes.

    • infusion set will be covered for blinding
  • PlaceboDrug

    100 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride, infused intravenously over ≥ 20 minutes.

    • infusion set will be covered for blinding
  • Iberet-Folic-500Drug

    once a day dose, to start 5 days after the intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemoglobin concentration (g/dL)

    To evaluate the increase in hemoglobin level

    Measured: Six weeks after intervention

  2. Serum iron concentration

    To evaluate the increase in serum iron concentration (µmol/L)

    Measured: Six weeks after intervention

  3. Serum ferritin concentration

    serum ferritin levels (µg/L)

    Measured: six weeks after intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. General fatigue score

    Using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) which will be answered by the participants, scores will be taken ranging from lowest 4, till the highest of 20. A higher score will indicate higher levels of fatigue.

    Measured: Six weeks after intervention

  2. Number of participants that had adverse effects to intravenous iron

    Any adverse effects experienced by the participant arising from the administration of intravenous iron isomaltoside will be documented and managed as per protocol.

    Measured: Up to six weeks after intervention

  3. Blood transfusion requirement

    Number of blood transfusions required after intervention

    Measured: Up to six weeks after intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Iron Isomaltoside 1000 and Iberet-Folic-500 in people with Post Partum Hemorrhage and Anemia, run by University of Malaya at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2020. 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 Malaysia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Carolyn Yim Chue Wai, MBBS (+603-79493133, drcarolyim@um.edu.my), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemoglobin concentration (g/dL) (time frame: Six weeks after intervention). The study lists 3 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 12 Aug 2020.
