Filter by:The purpose of the trial is to evaluate and compare the effect of iron isomaltoside 1000 to iron sucrose in its ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb) in subjects with IDA when oral iron preparations are ineffective or cannot be used or where there is a clinical need to deliver iron rapidly.
In total 50 subjects with iron deficiency anemia treated with intravenous iron are planned for inclusion in this trial. After signing an informed consent a blood sample will be obtained from each participant before iron treatment. The investigators will measure the thrombin generation in plasma assessed by the calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT). patient will go face to face interview and will be asked to answer structured questionnaire which will include information on demographics, clinical data ( fever, allergies , etc.) and comorbidities Two weeks after completing intravenous iron administration additional blood samples will be taken: thrombin generation will be measured
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KRX-0502, administered without food, in treating iron deficiency anemia in subjects with stage 3 to 5 non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD).
The government of Haiti plans to introduce a flour fortification program. The aim of the project it to inform the authorities on the most suitable iron compound for this fortification program. For this purpose, iron absorption from wheat flour using different iron compounds will be investigated.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the treatment response of Injectafer vs. oral iron to baseline hepcidin levels to determine if any of these select IBD or Gastric Bypass patients may demonstrate to be inappropriate for oral iron therapy.
Evaluate the effect of iron supplementation using oral routes in comparison with total dose infusion of low molecular weight iron dextran in iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
The study on dairy value chains that will be conducted in Northern Senegal tests whether a health-related product (micro-fortified yogurt) targeted to children can be provided through the logistics of an existing value chain, and whether in return this can be leveraged to enhance the reliability of producers supply within this value chain. This study is conducted with a local milk factory, a recently established social enterprise, striving to produce dairy products with the milk collected from several hundred semi-nomadic small-scale producers in northern Senegal. This study tests: (i) whether the logistic created to collect milk in a remote area can be leveraged to deliver fortified yogurts to infants within its suppliers households; (ii) whether such products effectively help improve the nutritional status (anemia) of these children; and (iii) whether these health services encourage suppliers (and in particular women) to increase their milk delivery to the milk factory.
The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of the different oral iron preparations in children with IDA.
Background: Oral iron supplementation (OIS) is a widely-used strategy to treat iron deficiency anemia. However, absorption of OIS is often low and response is variable. To overcome this, large doses are given but this may reduce compliance due to gastric irritation. Thus, OIS doses should be low, while maximizing absorption. The prevailing serum hepcidin concentration (SHep) is the major determinant of iron absorption and erythrocyte iron utilization. Based on limited data in humans, SHep can be increased by a single OIS dose but the duration of the increase is uncertain: In a recent study conducted in our laboratory it has been found to last approx. 24 h. Also, there are few data on how the increase in SHep determines the absorption of further doses of oral iron. Is there a threshold SHep at which subsequent iron absorption is sharply reduced? Better understanding of this relationship would be valuable to design more effective and safer OIS regimens. Objectives: 1) Determine whether two consecutive dosages of 60 mg Fe differently affect hepcidin response and iron bioavailability (Study 1) 2) Compare the bioavailability of iron supplement dosages given at different times of the day (Study 2). Methods/Subjects: Healthy female subjects will be screened for low iron status. Anemic subjects will be excluded from the study. Thirty two subjects will be included with serum ferritin <20 µg/L, C-reactive protein <5 mg/L and Hemoglobin >117 g/L. Subjects will be randomized in two groups and their Hepcidin (sHep) and iron status markers monitored at day 1 (baseline). Subjects will receive iron supplement dosages of 60 mg with stable iron isotopes 54Fe, 57Fe, 58Fe in form of 4 mg of FeSO4. Prior administration blood samples will be collected to monitor sHep and iron status markers. Outcome: The combined use of stable iron isotopes and a sensitive SHep assay will allow for better understanding of the iron-hepcidin relationship and this may enable design of more effective OIS regimens.
We are performing the above prospective randomized trial in 1'000 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The study will answer the question of whether preoperative treatment of anemia or iron deficiency indeed improves transfusion needs (primary outcome) and important clinical outcomes (secondary outcome) in a large group of cardiac surgical patients. The list of inclusion and exclusion criteria was deliberately chosen short so that this patient group largely reflects today's clinical practice . - Trial with medical product
