About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Parallel, Two-treatment, Single Dose Bioequivalence Study of Ferric Carboxymaltose Injection in Healthy Chinese Participants Under Fasting Conditions

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the pharmacokinetic profile of the developed drug product and reference product in healthy participants under fasting condition. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • [Question 1] Is there significant difference in the pharmacokinetic profile between the ferric carboxymaltose injection (100 mg iron/2 mL) provided by Sichuan Huiyu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and the ferric carboxymaltose injection licensed by American Regent, Inc. (trade name: Injectafer®, strength: 100 mg iron/2 mL)?
  • [Question 2] Is it safe for healthy participants to take ferric carboxymaltose injection (10 mL: 500 mg [calculated by iron]) provided by Sichuan Huiyu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. under fasting condition? Participants will be randomly divided into two groups by stratified blocked randomization, with equal number of healthy participants in each group, to receive test product or reference product according to the protocol below.
  • Dosing on D1: Group T (Test product) Group R (Reference product)
  • PK blood sample collection
  • Safety evaluation

What participants receive

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

  • Ferric Carboxymaltose InjectionDrug

    For the T group, participants will have a standardized dinner on the night before the trial, followed by a fasting period of at least 10 h before receiving the test product (T, 2 mL: 100 mg elemental iron) via intravenous injection in the single upper limb, at a continuous rate for 1 min, with a speed of 2 mL/min.

  • Ferric Carboxymaltose Injection [Injectafer®]Drug

    For the R group, participants will have a standardized dinner on the night before the trial, followed by a fasting period of at least 10 h before receiving the reference product (trade name: Injectafer®) (R, 2 mL: 100 mg elemental iron) via intravenous injection on an empty stomach, at a continuous rate for 1 min, with a speed of 2 mL/min.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetic parameter of total iron in serum: Cmax、AUC

    Cmax is the peak concentration of total iron in serum. It is directly obtained from observed blood drug concentration-time data. AUC is the area under the concentration curve from dosing to the last measurable blood drug concentration. It is calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: 36 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours before administration; 0 hours and at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours post-dose

  2. Pharmacokinetic parameter of transferrin bound iron in serum: Cmax、AUC

    Cmax is the peak concentration of transferrin iron in serum. It is directly obtained from observed blood drug concentration-time data. AUC is the area under the concentration curve from dosing to the last measurable blood drug concentration. It is calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: 36 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours before administration; 0 hours and at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ferric Carboxymaltose Injection and Ferric Carboxymaltose Injection [Injectafer®] in people with Healthy Adult, run by Sichuan Huiyu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 26 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 18 May 2025. 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 China. 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?

Pharmacokinetic parameter of total iron in serum: Cmax、AUC (time frame: 36 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours before administration; 0 hours and at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours post-dose). 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 18 May 2025.
